+1 we went last feb, and my "gender typical" son loved it, including toy story and mickey, as well as ariel and Elsa/Anna.
I’m sure my son would love it but lucky for me this idiotic princess culture isn’t marketed to humans shoved in his face the way that it is for girls, so he’s never expressed any interest and I’ll never have to deal with it. It’s not sexist. It’s just a fact that this crap is marketed heavily to little girls. There is superhero crap that’s marketed to me, but not nearly as aggressively.
I love princess culture! Get the stick out of your ass.
Yeah, PP. It's pretty sad you would post here just to say you are not taking your son, who would enjoy it. Your superior attitude is not a good look for anyone. And you still seem pretty sexist.
I don’t take him to many things he would enjoy- paw patrol live, peppa pig live, etc and it’s no big deal - he’s not begging to go. Gussying him up for a princess skating performance is just one of the many things I get to dodge that moms of girls have to contend with, and I don’t. Thank goodness.
You seem proud that you know there are lots of shows DS would enjoy, BUT YOU’RE NOT GOING TO TAKE HIM TO THEM, NO, NOT YOU!
He’s only a kid once. We seize the moment in our family.
Do you not live in DC? There are virtually hundreds of fun opportunities for kids and lots of opportunities to “seize the moment” that are less irritating and less commercial.

Her stereotype of how she sees girls and their parents is strange. If she can so nobly resist marketing of superheroes and even Woody and Buzz, surely parents of girls -- even girls themselves! -- might be able to resist Elsa and Cinderella, and just go enjoy a show. It really does happen, and without tears or damage to girls' body image.
Girls aren't necessarily the sparkly little drama queens she wants to assume they are.
I don’t know why you are so deeply offended by the fact that I’m calling out the marketing bs that is rammed down the throats of little girls every minute of every day. I’m certainly aware of and interested in the toxic masculinity super hero rubbish that is marketed to my son and try to keep it at a minimum. I’m definitely not buying tickets to it.

Sounds like you’re the one missing out. My daughter never would have asked to go but she was absolutely rapt and still talking about it. I’m glad I’m in a position to give her experiences like that.
So in your case you are the one peddling the princess crap. Have at it.
Are you jealous that you don’t have a daughter? Did you have bad gender disappointment or something? You sound awfully bitter.
Nope not jealous. Just constantly amazed at all ways that it is so much more expensive (in time and money) to have a girl vs a boy. If I’m bitter it’s bc I realize all the stuff that is peddled to girls. (Disney on Ice, manicures, kid makeup, colored lip gloss, wanting long hair/braids and not being able to grow them, trying to grow long hair but constant tears bc of tangles, hair accessories, etc”. This is why little girls by the time they are 8 already have body image issues. So yeah, glad I don’t have to deal with that crap.

You’re missing out. The “princess skating performance” included themes for The Incredibles, Lion King and Toy Story. He’s too old for it now, but my older son used to love going and he hates all things princess. He’d wear a Buzz Lightyear costume and plenty of other boys were dressed up, some just wearing a simple Mickey shirt. Disney does a good job balancing the storylines for all audiences.

We just got back and had an awesome time. We didn’t buy any toys. I did splurge on some $15 cotton candy.

Huh. You guys are suckers. We’ve been several times and never bought anything. The kids still have a ball and love going. You don’t need an expensive souvenir to enjoy an already expensive activity.
