It’s been a while since we dished on anything Disney, so we thought everyone could use a little magic on this tiring Tuesday afternoon. And the pixie dust we’re talking about this time? DISNEY PROPOSALS. Yep, the cliché you’d probably say was cheesy and basic (if you were asked RN), buttt have always wondered “what iffffff.” Because who couldn’t get down with a partner on his or her knee, a castle in the background, a radiant rock dominating their finger, and tons of adoring, fairy tale fans eavesdropping on the engagement from the wings?
I’m definitely all about it, because I’m pretty sure I’ve shared before that my proposal story was anything but Epcot, Illuminations-fireworks worthy. It was lowkey and a little less extra than I probably would have liked, but I still got my Prince Charming, and we’re for sure living out our happily ever after, 7+ years later (and 13 together, overall). In any case, my cousin said “YES” last April, in front of Cinderella’s castle, and one of my sister’s closest friends did the same - with Minnie Mouse ears on - just a month or so later. The photos of both were absolutely adorable. Not to mention, there’s just something so iconic, nostalgic, and heartwarming about seeing two super in love people beginning the next stage of their relationship with Walt Disney as their witness.

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite recent proposals happening in the House of Mouse (currently, there are over 20K posts hashtagged with #disneyproposal on Instagram, it’s pretty enchanting) - the ones that you see pictures of and are immediately reminded of all the greatest kiss scenes from every classic Disney animated movie. The fiancés legit become Disney characters IRL.
Stay tuned for some of the cutest sentiments we’ve read to go along with the proposals. Because you can’t have a destination Disney proposal without an appropriately-inspired caption to complete it.
If you’re reading this and think a Disney proposal is on the way for you, then you might want to bookmark a few of these for your own Insta announcement. Noneeee of them have that ‘felt cute, might delete later’ vibe. Whatsoever.
