I am a simple girl and love a clean dining room table. I don't keep it set and ready for guests but I do like a small centerpiece. This was easy to make with items already on-hand. I added some twine to a vase and then popped in some yellow and orange tulips. Then I placed the vase on some burlap scraps.
I also want to add some bright colored pillows on the couch to make it fun. And besides for the pillows, the house is decorated for spring. Like I said, I don't do much. I just like a change from the winter colors and some brighter colors. What have you done to brighten your house for spring?

'Explorers' Use Uncertainty and Specific Area of Brain - New Paper in Neuron by Prof. David Badre and Prof. Michael Frank
published on 09 February 2012
CLPS Professors David Badre and Michael Frank have collaborated on a new paper in Neuron.
As they try to find the best reward among options, some people explore based on how uncertain they are about the outcome of the options. Those who employ that thought process, unlike people who use other strategies, uniquely harness the computational power of the rostrolateral prefrontal cortex.

Does your child feel uncontrolled hunger pangs and dizziness every time he is back from the playground? You may be under the impression, that it is just natural but not, anymore. Learn more about hypoglycemia, its causes and treatments.
What Is Hypoglycemia In Children?
The condition of having abnormally low levels of blood sugar or glucose is called Hypoglycemia. It is not a disease, but an indicator of some underlying health problem. Hypoglycemia is a common complication in children with type 1 diabetes.Low blood sugar in kids could be an indicator of this.
What Triggers off Hypoglycemia?
There is a chance of having Hypoglycemia, if a child faces a number of situations:
- If a meal is missed or is late
- If an insulin dose is too high or drawn up incorrectly
- Doing a strenuous activity without an added snack
- Alcohol ingestion
- Gastroenteritis
- Extra insulin administration
- Alcohol content in the body intensifies glucose action and may inhibit gluconeogenesis and causes delayed hypoglycemia.
Hypoglycemia need not immediately happen after a strenuous activity, but even after hours of the activity.
There are many symptoms of hypoglycemia in children.When affected by Hypoglycemia, infants do not exhibit these symptoms visibly. Therefore, you should rely on blood glucose monitoring and administering glucose in the form of juices. In severe cases, glucagon will have to be inserted either intramuscularly or subcutaneously. However, in older children , the following symptoms can be seen.
- Diaphoresis
- Tremulousness
- Tachycardia
- Hunger
- Weakness
- Pallor and dizziness (1).
Why Do Children Develop Hypoglycemia?
Children are particularly susceptible to suffer from hypoglycemia due to the following reasons,
- Glycogen stores are relatively smaller in children.
- Due to the increased metabolic demands, the utilization of glucose is high.
- Fewer gluconeogenesis precursors generate due to comparatively less fat and muscle mass.
- The developing brain of a child needs a constant supply of glucose.
- Hypoglycemia occurs in children in episodes, rather than as a permanent condition.
- It is very common in newborns. In older children; hypoglycemia is temporary, easily treatable and does not bring any serious consequences.
- Some rare disorders associated with hypoglycemia are recurrent and potentially life-threatening. But a timely diagnosis and medical intervention can save the child from dangers.
Risk Factors:
- Prolonged hypoglycemia can result in neuroglycopenia and will show more signs and symptoms of lethargy, irritability, confusion, and abnormal behavior and in worse cases, seizure and coma.
- Severe repeated or prolonged hypoglycemia can cause permanent damage to the nervous system and in rare cases, death.
- Transient hypoglycemia in the newborn, is a form of hypoglycemia which is exclusively visible in infants whose mother has diabetes. It turns highly risky and hence it is recommended to check the plasma glucose levels of the infants in the first few days of life, constantly.
- Infants and children can develop neurocognitive defects at the time of asymptomatic hypoglycemia. Impaired auditory and sensory evoked responses are the few other consequences.
Several tests are conducted to determine the blood glucose levels and detect hypoglycemia in kids.
- Blood test: It not only helps to understand the blood glucose levels but also can establish the cause of hypoglycemia.
- Fasting tests: The child is monitored during a period when he does not eat anything for some time. This close observation can detect if and when hypoglycemia occurs.
- Oral glucose tolerance test: The child is made to fast for 8 hours and is asked to drink a glass of glucose water. His blood sugar is tested for an hour and again after 2 hours. The level of blood sugar which increases as a result of the first test is important.

Disney Princess
this wiki
Disney Princess is a media franchise owned by the Walt Disney Company. Created by Disney Consumer Products chairman Andy Mooney in the late 1990s, the franchise spotlights a line-up of fictional female heroines who have appeared in various Disney animated feature films. The franchise currently comprises eleven female protagonists from ten different Walt Disney Animation Studios films and one Pixar film who are either royal by birth, royal by marriage, or considered a "princess" due to their significant portrayal of heroism in their film. Most of the unofficial Disney Princesses do not join the line-up either because marketing is not successful, their film's box office gross did not fare well, or they are too young. In Anna and Elsa's and Moana's cases, they got their own franchises because of how successful their movies were and didn't need to join the line-up.
The original Disney Princess line-up featured Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas and Mulan. It later expanded to include Tiana, Rapunzel and Merida after the successes of their respective films.
The Disney Princesses are featured in various sing-a-long video series released through the Walt Disney Company. In addition, the franchise includes dolls, miniature castles and other toys. The Princesses are also featured very prominently at the Disney theme parks.
Since 2013, with the exception of those created after the Disney Renaissance, the Princesses are showcased in their enhanced and modified redesigned outfits (excluding Ariel) instead of the ones that they wear in their own movies.
In early 2000, when Andy Mooney was hired by the Disney consumer-products division to help combat dropping sales, the idea for the Disney Princess franchise was born. Soon after joining Disney, Mooney attended his first Disney On Ice show. While waiting in line, he found himself surrounded by young girls dressed as princesses. "They weren't even Disney products. They were generic princess products," he mused. Soon after realizing the demand, the Disney Princess line was formed.
Despite limited advertising and no focus groups, the various Disney Princess items released became a huge success. Sales at Disney Consumer Products rose from $300 million in 2001 to $3 billion in 2006. Today there are over 25,000 products based on the franchise.
The Princesses to be featured in the line were chosen from classic Disney films. The characters were not chosen specifically for their royal titles, but rather for how well they fit into what Disney executives deemed "the Princess mythology". Mulan is an example of this concept; she has no familial ties to royalty but is still included in the character list. Tinker Bell and Esmeralda were once included under the same principle before it was decided that they were not suited for the "mythology".[1] Recently, though, Tinker Bell has starred in her own Disney franchise, the Disney Fairies. Other fairies were created specifically for the franchise. The line began with a book series by Gail Carson Levine and has since spawned toys, direct-to-video movies and other products based on the characters. At one point, Jane Porter, Giselle, Anna and Elsa were considered to be included in the line-up, but were never realized.
Character Background
The characters themselves, despite appearing in separate films, have distinct similarities. The Princesses show good will towards all creatures, evidenced by the common ability to communicate with animals. The Princesses are known for their inner and outer beauty, as well as having beautiful singing voices, apart from Merida, who only sings a song with her mother when she is little in her film.
Each Princess, excluding Merida, has a romance that is resolved by the end of her debut film; the male counterparts known as Disney Princes. These charismatic girls carry a similar personality in their eras, in the beginning with the first three (Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora), their characteristics were well known as classy, graceful and romantic daydreamers, who suffered from the actions caused by others. They held an inner strength through compassion, love, kindness and, particularly with Snow White, a strong sense of resilience.
After the Renaissance Era, these popular heroines became more active than reactive with Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas and Mulan. Their characteristics were known to be strong-willed, adventurous, feisty, cunning and determined. As well their goals focused more on adventure and freedom than love, and these girls were more fighters for their dreams than the first three. They also existed in worlds which were more self-aware of the traditional and changing role of women; particularly Ariel, with her villainess assuring her that women on land should keep silent, Belle, with her villain assuring her that "it's not right for a woman to read", and Mulan, with her peers extolling masculine traits in addition to those of the ideal wife. The latest ones - Tiana and Rapunzel - are in the modern era; Tiana, an original character, is much more a realist than the others, she does not want magic to make a dream come true but with only hard work, whereas Rapunzel is much more like the idealistic ones than Tiana.
Snow White, Aurora, Ariel, Jasmine, Rapunzel and Merida are born of royal heritage as daughters of kings and queens. Pocahontas can be considered as being of royal heritage, as she is the daughter of a chief and considered Native American royalty by the English. Cinderella, Belle and Tiana become royalty by marriage. Mulan was neither royal by birth or marriage, but is still included in the line-up due to her high status by saving China and receiving grace from the Emperor.
Snow White
The character of Snow White first originated in 1937 from a Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Schneewittchen" about a beautiful German princess with a jealous stepmother. Walt Disney turned this classic fairy tale into his very first animated feature film. Her true love is Prince Florian, who breaks her sleeping death 'slumber' (caused by the Evil Queen) with love's first kiss. She befriends the seven dwarves during her stay at their cottage. At 14, she is the youngest of the Princesses.
The best-known version of Cinderella is the fairy tale "Cendrillon" by Charles Perrault in 1697. In 1950, it was turned into an animated feature-length film by Walt Disney. Cinderella Tremaine is the eldest of all the Disney Princesses. She is 19 years of age during the events of the film. Her stepmother turned her into the family's sole servant after the death of her father. With magical help from her Fairy Godmother, she attends a royal ball and meets the prince of her kingdom, and eventually marries him, thus freeing her from her life of servitude. Cinderella is often considered the leader of the Princesses; often being put in the center of the group shots.
Best known as the heroine of the 1959 animated classic Sleeping Beauty, which is very loosely based on Charles Perrault's "La Belle au Bois Dormant". Although her dress changes from blue to pink thanks to a disagreement between two of her guardians, Merryweather and Flora, outside the film, she is most commonly seen wearing pink. She was cursed at birth to die before the sun sets on her 16th birthday by the evil fairy Maleficent by pricking her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel. One of the three good fairies, Merryweather, was able to weaken the curse by changing death to a deep slumber that could only be awakened by true love's kiss. By falling in love with Prince Phillip, the prince of a neighboring kingdom (and unknown to either of them, her betrothed), she was freed from the curse. Aurora is shown to be one of the taller princesses in the franchise.
The heroine of the 1989 film, loosely based on the Danish fairy tale "Den Lille Havfrue" by Hans Christian Andersen, and the daughter of King Triton, ruler of the sea. Ariel is a 16-year old mermaid who falls in love with a dashing human prince named Eric, an extension of her fascination with all things from the surface world. Her dream is to live a life on land. So it comes as no surprise when her dream causes her to fall victim to accepting to a shady offer from Ursula the Sea Witch promising her a lifetime of happiness with Prince Eric as long as she carries out the rules outlined in the signed binding contract. Ursula persuades her to trade her beautiful voice, in exchange for becoming a human for three days. During these three days, Ariel must not only make Prince Eric fall in love with her, but the two must seal their love with a kiss. If Ariel is unable to uphold her end of the agreement, she must return to the sea to live out her days in Ursula's lair as a prisoner, joining the many other "lost souls" that have fallen victim to Ursula's "wish granting" over the years. However, Ariel is able to defeat Ursula with Eric's help and thanks to her father, she becomes human permanently and marries Eric at the end of the film.
Hans Christian Andersen's original character dissolves into foam on the sea after the prince marries someone else, but through an act of compassion is transformed into a spirit of the air. Co-director Ron Clements felt the story was too tragic, and changed the original character from the tragic but hopeful heroine to the brave and resourceful Ariel.
The young 17-year old French commoner who is the heroine of the 1991 animated classic Beauty and the Beast, is loosely based on the French fairy tale "La Belle et la Bête" abridged from the version by Madame Jeanne-Marie le Prince de Beaumont. The name Belle translates from the French word for "beauty". In the film, she selflessly trades in her freedom, for that of her father's, in a bargain with the Beast, thus becoming his prisoner/guest. She soon learns to see the good hidden behind his hideous appearance and rough manner and eventually, over time, falling in love with him. By confessing her love at the end of the movie, she breaks the curse placed on him by the enchantress. The Beast and his staff are then restored to their human forms and Belle became his princess.
The spunky, independent Arabian Princess of Agrabah, who dreams of seeing what's beyond her palace and be freed from her father's constant pestering of arranged royal marriage. She falls in love with the title character in 1992's Aladdin, whom she eventually marries.
She is loosely based on Princess Badroulbadour (Arabic بدر البدور, badru l-budūr, "full moon of full moons") featured in the story of "Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp" from "One Thousand and One Nights" of Scheherazade. Interestingly, the original story took place in China and not the Middle East.
Disney's Pocahontas is loosely based on the real-life Native American "princess" of the Powhatan tribe (a name also borne by her father, the chief). Her real name was Matoaka since Pocahontas was her nickname and meant 'Playful One'. She falls in love with a man named John Smith, who helps her prevent a war from commencing between their people. At the end of the film, John is wounded and sent back to London for treatment.
Fa Mulan (or simply Mulan) is a brave heroine who impersonates a male soldier to fight for the Chinese Imperial Army in order to protect her ailing father who would have been required to go if she had not gone in his place. Mulan pretends to be her father's son, Ping, risking death and dishonor if she is discovered. Joining a struggling troop of rookies led by Captain Li Shang (or simply Shang), "Ping" is the driving force behind the troop's dramatic change into respectable soldiers. "Ping" is admired by everyone until "he" is injured during the battle and requires medical care, resulting in the outing of "his" secret. Since "Ping" had saved Shang's life, Shang repays his debt and spares Mulan's life. No longer allowed in the Imperial Army, Mulan goes rogue and defeats the leader of the Hun army Shan Yu. The Chinese Emperor praises Mulan, recognizing her as a hero for saving China and for bringing honor to her family. Mulan is welcomed back into her home with loving, open arms. Shang arrives at Mulan's home shortly after her return, and the two's feelings for each other are made known.
The character of Mulan is loosely based on the heroine from the well-known ancient Chinese poem "The Ballad of Mulan" (木蘭詩). She is the only Disney Princess who is not royal by blood or marriage. However, she has been bestowed the honor of a being an official Disney Princess because of her popularity as well as what she represents. The film is praised for its cultural authenticity and prevailing messages including family, love, courage, and most notably, the empowerment and equal rights of women.
Partly inspired from E.D. Baker's 2002 novel The Frog Princess, and the original fairy tale "The Frog Prince", Tiana is the heroine of the 2009 animated film The Princess and the Frog, and is the first African-American princess. She dreams of opening her own restaurant through hard work. By kissing Prince Naveen in frog form, she is turned into a frog because she kissed him for material gain, not love, and the magic can only be broken by a princess, so they are forced to set on a journey to find a way to undo the magic. Eventually, she finds herself falling for the handsome, but spoiled prince, and willingly gives up her personal wants to be with him. By marrying the prince, Tiana becomes a real princess, and with her love, breaks the spell with a kiss. They finally open their own restaurant at the end of the film.
She is the only Princess whose story was inspired by an original fairy tale, a novel, and a real life person.
The heroine from the animated feature Tangled is loosely based on the German title character from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Rapunzel". Her long hair, which is said to measure 70 feet in length, not only has magical healing powers but can be used as a weapon. Given the power by a magic golden flower, Mother Gothel kidnaps her as an infant to use her power to keep herself young. 18 years later, Rapunzel sneaks away from her tower with a thief, Flynn Rider, and sets on her own journey to find the flying lanterns that float into the sky every year on her birthday. To free her from Gothel's clutches, Flynn cuts her hair, thus destroying her power, and she is returned to her family. Rapunzel was "officially welcomed into the Disney Princess Royal Court" during a promotional event at Kensington Palace in London on October 2, 2011. Interestingly, even though Rapunzel's long golden hair is cut off in the movie, changing it from blonde to brown, her redesigned image shows it fully restored back to blonde, although somewhat shorter than its original 70-foot length.
Merida is the 16-year old daughter of Queen Elinor, who rules the kingdom alongside her husband, King Fergus. Queen Elinor's expectations and demands of her daughter make Merida see Elinor as being cold, unfeeling and distant, causing friction between the two. Despite Elinor's desire to see Merida as a proper royal lady, Merida is an impetuous girl with wild, unruly ginger hair and a passionate desire to take control of her own destiny. Merida has honed her skill with the bow and is the most skilled archers in her kingdom. She is also well trained in sword-fighting and an expert horsewoman, riding wildly across the countryside on her horse, Angus.
She is the second princess from a Pixar film (the first is Princess Atta from A Bug's Life), the first original princess in the line-up that is not inspired by either literature (Snow White, Cinderella, etc.) or real-life (Pocahontas, Mulan) works, and the first without a love interest. She also never sings a major song, thus breaking away the traditional line-up, though as a child, she sang a small verse of a song in Gaelic with her mother, and Merida's rich Scottish brogue makes her the second Disney Princess with an accent other than Standard American.

Other Versions
Kingdom Hearts series
In the games, five of the official princesses are part of the Seven Princesses of Heart (セブンプリンセス Sebun Purinsesu), a group of maidens with hearts of pure Light, devoid of Darkness, and were created when the X-blade was split into seven pieces of light and thirteen of darkness. They are referred to this name because they allow access to the Door to Darkness when gathered together, and whoever gathers them will gain the power to rule over the worlds. The members in this incarnation are:
- Kairi
- Alice
- Snow White
- Jasmine
- Belle
- Cinderella
- Aurora
Notably, two other Disney Princesses, Ariel and Mulan, appear as well, but are not Princesses of Heart, instead serving as party members that fight alongside Sora in their journey to save the world.
Mickey's Pirate and Princess Party
Beginning on January 22, 2007, the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World hosted their newest hard ticket (separate admission) event, "Disney's Pirate and Princess Party", renamed "Mickey's Pirate and Princess Party" in 2008. The event combines the "Pirates of the Caribbean" attraction and movie series and the Disney Princess line, and cosplaying as both pirates and royalty is encouraged. Visitors can have meet and greets with characters from both franchises, as well as the other classic characters dressed as buccaneers and royals, and take part in various activities. Other features include the "Disney's Enchanted Adventures Parade" and the "Magic, Music and Mayhem" fireworks spectacular. Because the event has become so popular, Pirate and Princess events have become an annual hard-ticket staple with dates into August and September of 2007 and January through June of 2008.
Younger versions
Palace Pets
Currently, 10 of the 11 Princesses have two or more Palace Pets.
- As of 2016, there are a total of twelve Princess films featuring nine Princesses (six by birth, three by marriage), one heroine and two are daughters of a chief, who form together the Official Disney Royal Court.
- Currently, the Disney Princess ages rank as follows:
- 14: Snow White (making her the youngest Disney Princess).
- 15: Jasmine.
- 16: Aurora, Ariel, Mulan, Merida and Moana.
- 17: Belle.
- 18: Pocahontas and Rapunzel.
- 19: Cinderella and Tiana (Cinderella's stated to be at least three months older than Tiana, so she's technically the oldest of the Disney Princesses).
- Disney did not come up with its own definition of "princess" until 1986, explaining why Disney has a limit to how many Princesses that will be in the official line-up.
- Despite the franchise being named Disney Princesses, there are a few Disney heroines not included for different reasons:
- Princess Eilonwy from The Black Cauldron, due to the lackluster success of her movie. She is a princess by birth.
- Queen Nala from The Lion King, due to her not being a human. She's a Queen by marriage, since Simba is King of the Pride Lands and was already technically the King by the time they finally got married.
- Princess Megara from Hercules, due to the lackluster success of her movie. She's a princess by marriage, having married Hercules, a Prince of the Gods.
- Empress Kida from Atlantis: The Lost Empire, due to the lackluster success of her movie. She is an Empress by birth.
- President Vanellope von Schweetz from Wreck-It Ralph, due to her rejecting her noble title in favor of being President of Sugar Rush. Princess by birth.
- Princess Anna and Queen Elsa from Frozen, due to being so successful in their own right, they've gotten their own franchise, making their inclusion in the Princess line-up redundant. Also, Elsa is a queen, not a princess, having been coronated in her debut film. Royalty by birth.
- Tinker Bell from Peter Pan, due to being removed from the franchise and given her own, the Disney Fairies.
- Jane Porter from Tarzan, due to physical similarities to Belle. She was once added to the franchise, then removed. Queen by marriage, since Tarzan is king of the jungle.
- Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, due to being removed from the franchise previously and not actually being royalty.
- Sofia from Sofia the First, due to being from a television series (in spite of the inclusion of members of the franchise showing up in various episodes). She is also too young for inclusion in the franchise. Royalty by marriage via her mother marrying a king.
- Alternatively, the Princesses may fall into three categories based on their eras:
- Walt Era (Golden Age/Classic Era) (1937-1966): Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora.
- Renaissance Era (1989-1999): Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas and Mulan.
- Revival Era (2009-present): Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida and Moana.
- Roy E. Disney was against the creation of the Disney Princess franchise, as he said, "Cinderella and Snow White could never be seen together because their stories take place in different times and places."
- So far, only four of the Disney Princesses aren't born into royalty: Cinderella, Belle, Mulan and Tiana. Mulan's the only one of the who doesn't become a princess by marriage either, as Cinderella, Belle and Tiana all end up marrying princes. Rather, Mulan marries a high-ranking member of the Chinese military, but is included in the line-up regardless due to the success of her film.
- Snow White, Aurora and Ariel are princesses both by blood and marriage.
- Jasmine, Pocahontas and Rapunzel both end up with men who weren't born into royalty.
- Pocahontas, Merida and Moana are currently the only Princesses to not originate from the traditional fairy tales.
- Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora and Belle are currently the only Princesses to not be voiced by the respective actresses from their original films.
- Mulan and Tiana are the only Princesses to kill the main antagonist in their films. Mulan has actually killed more people than any other Disney character, having buried an entire Hun army in an avalanche from which few escaped.
- Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, Pocahontas, Mulan and Rapunzel's names are from their original stories.
- Out of the 12 Princesses in the franchise, half of them don't have full-length sequel films: Snow White, Aurora, Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida and Moana.
- Rapunzel is the only Princess to star in a short film (Tangled Ever After). The short films premiered before another Disney Princess film. (Tangled Ever After premiered before Beauty and the Beast 3D, and was later added as a bonus feature to the Diamond Edition of Cinderella).
- Cinderella and Jasmine have both had their Disney Prince's (Aladdin and Charming) memory erased by an antagonist (Lady Tremaine and Sadira) hoping to make them lose their fortune and their love.
- Merida is the only princess to be from a Pixar film.
- Aurora, Jasmine, Rapunzel and Merida all celebrate their birthdays in their respective films.
- The Princesses made their LEGO Duplo debut in 2012, and appear in 2013 sets. In 2014, Cinderella, Ariel, Rapunzel and Merida went into the LEGO System style, with parts coming from the Friends line, another theme aimed at girls.
- In Japan, only seven of the dozen Princesses are considered as official (Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine and Rapunzel) with the excluded Princesses rarely featured in local merchandise and promotional material.
- Interestingly, Jasmine is the only non-European Princess that is marketed. However, she is featured with skin drawn much lighter than in her film possibly to "fit in" with the other Princesses and follow Japanese standards of beauty in real life that sell successfully (See promotional image from Japan against a navy background in the gallery).
- Cinderella, Jasmine, Pocahontas and Moana are the only Princesses whose antagonists weren't killed in their feature films, although Jafar does die in The Return of Jafar.

- Belle: B - boron
- Jasmine: J - jodium, former name of iodine
- Pocahontas: P - phosphorous
- Mulan: Ml - fictional
- Jasmine is the only Princess to be a deuteragonist, as all the others are protagonists.
- Jasmine is also the only Disney Princess to have a less significant role than her prince, since her original movie focuses more on Aladdin, who's the protagonist.
- Aurora is the only Princess to be a false protagonist, as most of the film revolves around the fairies, who are the true protagonists.
- The Disney Princess logo is a sparkly pink oval containing the brand name with a tiara on it. Most non-Princess Disney franchises use a blue oval with the word "Disney" on it.
- The logo of Aladdin, therefore, is a purple oval.
- However, the logo will be redesigned to look more like a pink banner like the Palace Pets logo.
- The book The Art of the Disney Princess features the Princesses being drawn using different art styles.
- Four of the Disney Princesses have run from their respective love interests upon first meeting (Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora and Pocahontas). Rapunzel knocked out her love interest, believing him a home invader. Ariel fled from the scene of her love interest, but she doesn't count as she had no legs at the time.
- Except for Ariel and Pocahontas, each Princess is seen doing chores or servant work at some point.
- Rapunzel was the first princess in the franchise to be computer-animated, rather than traditionally hand-drawn. However, she (as well as the other computer-animated Princesses) has a hand-drawn redesign when appearing with the other Princesses in merchandise or pictures.
- Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine and Mulan all have an after-story about their adventures after marriage with their love interests.

Cinderella is the only one to have siblings not related to her by blood, and is the only one to have her siblings included as unofficial members of the Disney Villains.
- Out of the 12 Princesses in the line-up, only five are actually seen getting married on screen: Cinderella, Ariel, Jasmine, Tiana and Rapunzel. Jasmine got married in the sequel Aladdin and the King of Thieves, and Rapunzel is the only princess who got married in the short Tangled Ever After.
- Ariel is the only Princess, in The Little Mermaid, to canonically have a child (in her case, a daughter named Melody) in The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea. Other Princesses have had children in Once Upon a Time and Descendants, but neither of these are viewed as official Disney canon.
- Aurora is the only Disney Princess to have an arranged marriage, from birth.
- Jasmine and Merida are shown to have several men try to impress them, in hopes of becoming their husband. However, the choice of who became sultan was mainly up to Jasmine, and the choice of who would marry Merida and become prince of DunBroch was decided by whoever won an archery contest, rather than being set up when Jasmine and Merida were born.
- Pocahontas appeared to have an arranged marriage with Kocoum. However, it is stated in the film that he came to Chief Powhatan, asking to marry Pocahontas, rather than the two of them being engaged at birth.
- Pocahontas is the only Disney Princess to not marry her original prince. In her debut film, she was in love with John Smith, but by the sequel, she no longer has feelings for him (but admits that she still cares about him as a friend) and falls in love with John Rolfe (who she married in real life).
- Despite that, she's commonly marketed with John Smith.
- Pocahontas and Merida are the only Disney Princesses to retire in the Disney on Ice shows. Pocahontas appeared in three shows, Forever Love, Happily Ever After and 100 Years of Magic until 2015. Merida only appeared in Rockin' Ever After, but was dropped when Frozen replaced Brave as the show was renamed to Magical Ice Festival but will return in the new show, Follow Your Heart making Pocahontas the only princess to retire.
- Cinderella, Ariel, Belle and Jasmine are the only ones who have two sequels from their original movies.

Damsel in Distress

- Snow White was put into a sleeping curse, and the Prince arrived with his horse to break the curse by Love's First Kiss.

From Princess to Queen
- Only some of 12 Princesses will be crowned as Queen in the future: Rapunzel will become Queen Regnant, Aurora and Snow White will both become Queen Regnant and Queen Consort, Cinderella will only be Queen Consort. (Queen Regnant is a queen ruling by her own right, Queen Consort is the wife of a ruling King.)
- Snow White: As the only daughter of the late King, she inherits the throne upon her stepmother's death, becoming Queen Regnant of the Kingdom. Her husband, the Prince, then stays as a prince, until he becomes King of his own land. It is possible that his father is the Sovereign Prince of a Principality (not a King), or that the Prince is not even the firstborn, and might never inherit the throne. If the prince is the heir to the throne and his father dies or abdicates, then Snow White and the prince will become co-rulers.
- Cinderella will only be Queen Consort following the death or abdication of Prince Charming's father, the King.
- Aurora: Upon the death of her father, King Stefan, Aurora will become Queen Regnant of her Kingdom and place Phillip as the Prince Consort, a similar position to modern day HRH Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh. Upon the death of King Hubert, Prince Phillip will become King of his Kingdom, while Aurora becomes his Queen Consort. When both King Stefan and King Hubert are dead, Aurora will become Co-Queen, and Phillip will become Co-King, jointly ruling the two realms. Their heir will inherit both crowns upon their deaths, creating a personal union. If Phillip dies before Aurora, then Aurora stays Queen Regnant of her own realm, and will also be Queen Dowager (widow of a king). If her heir is not yet of age, a Queen Regent (acting Queen until the heir's age of majority/coronation). If she chooses to abdicate upon her heir's coronation, the heir will become the King/Queen of a personal union and Aurora will then be a Queen Mother (mother to the reigning Monarch). A personal union is a union of two or more realms that shared the same monarch, like modern day Commonwealth.
- Ariel is the Princess Consort of Eric's Sovereign Principality in her movie's sequel, and since she is 7th in line to the Throne of Atlantica and now lives on land (and will be placed lower in line of succession if her sisters have children of their own), she won't be Queen Regnant of Atlantica.
- Belle will not be Queen since the Beast is only a Sovereign Prince of his Principality, not of a Kingdom.
- Jasmine will only be considered as the Sultan's wife as Aladdin will rise to the Sultan's throne due to the Arabic traditions of male leaders.
- Pocahontas' father, Powhatan, is elected as chief, not crowned through inheritance, and Pocahontas cannot be elected chief due to tribal traditions of male leaders.
- Mulan will not become queen at all since she has no royal ties.
- Tiana won't be Queen Consort since Naveen is cut off from the Maldonian line of succession by his parents.
- Rapunzel will be Queen of Corona when her parents die/abdicate, and Eugene will be her Consort.
- Merida either will be or not be Queen of DunBroch, since she has brothers, in which usually younger brothers surpass their older sisters in line of successions, but it depends on DunBroch's law.
- Moana becomes the new chief of her people after saving her island and restores wayfinding.
Once Upon a Time
- Some of the Disney Princesses have appeared in the ABC series Once Upon a Time, with the series centering on Emma Swan, the daughter of Snow White who has to break a curse.

Pocahontas and Tiana have yet to be featured. Five of the Princesses (Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, Mulan and Merida) are all associated with Red Riding Hood in Storybrooke with their Storybrooke counterparts, respectively and seven (Snow White, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Rapunzel, Merida and Jasmine) are associated with the Evil Queen in Storybrooke or in the flashbacks.

- Though Ariel and Mulan appear in Kingdom Hearts, they aren't Princesses of Heart, but player's allies.
- In Kingdom Hearts, if players beat Wonderland before getting to Agrabah, there is a cutscene involving the kidnapped Alice being brought to the Disney Villains counsel. However, if Wonderland has yet to be beaten by this time, instead of Alice, it will be Snow White that is shown.
- Aurora and Cinderella's dresses in the Kingdom Hearts series use the colors they are shown being in their movies, rather than how they are depicted in the Disney Princess Franchise. Cinderella's dress being silver, instead of light blue, and Aurora's dress being blue, instead of pink.
- However, it is interesting to note that in their stations in Dive to the Heart, Cinderella's dress is depicted as light blue, like her Disney Princess franchise dress, but Aurora's dress is shown being purple, a shade she never wore in the films.
