I work at a Disney park

I would bet anyone ten bucks that a lot of those people who hate on the princesses online will dress up/meet/buy something related to the princesses while here, because they will let their repressed inner child out and for a moment, remember that very thing, OP.

Hell, I'd bet fifty.

Hand over that fifty then.

You'd lose that bet with me. Never did give a damn about the Disney princess phenom. I would buy something about Thumper or Eeyore though, once I convinced myself the overpriced trinket was in fact worth it.

Ah, but in that case, you wouldn't be at a Disney park, would you? Anon's point stands.

Thumper and Eeyore are Disney characters. Anything I own of them came from Disneyland, which is a Disney park. So no, that anon owes me fifty.

You said you would buy these things, not that you had. Proof or no dough for you.

I'm very in touch with my inner child. She was always disappointed when Belle put all that jewellery on and didn't go on an adventure more than a few hours away from her village. It's less about inner child than how well they've sold you their brand, and they were a lot less systematic about it when I was a kid.

...I like imagining Belle and Prince Isntascoolasahuman do, like, a lot of road trips after the movie ends (it never seemed like the Prince actually had any royal duties or anything, he was just a dude with a castle and really good servants and the funds and means for traveling, and Belle would already have an itinerary of interesting places she's read about, though she'd have to navigate because Prince wouldn't know jack about map-reading or even reading...).

He probably did have duties, just he was shirking them. I'm imaging a lot of those villagers who were gleefully singing at Belle in the beginning now cursing her name because suddenly they've got a demand for ten years of back-taxes and tithes, and the local bailiffs now having to arrest Gaston's buddies because suddenly the laws are being enforced. Then comes the day the local bookseller comes to plead with Belle that her husband, now she's rehabilitated him back into society, is going to cause his bookshop to close with demand for taxes and that he's facing charges for selling books that contain illicit materials. And that is the day Belle, or rather Princess Belle, has to learn about the law of unintended consequences.
Not that Princess Belle has to worry for long, this sudden re-imposition of taxes and laws on the free-wheeling villagers soon sparks of the French Revolution.

Ayrt

Dude couldn't even use a spoon right and no family member's bothered to check on him for years, but hell if they haven't already grabbed up whatever land of his was just lying around to tax the villagers in his stead. Plus, he's got little motivation to re-take the village and any pushback to his efforts plunges him into a now considerably less-effective sulk-roar-claw cycle. If anyone in that castle is going to end up ruling with an iron fist, it's Belle, and she's found and mounted Gaston's body up at the local tavern to remind everyone of it.
