I Show The Real Life That Awaits Disney Princesses After The Happily Ever After (8 Pics)
39Kviews
We all know the cliche story where the princess finds true love, gets married, and of course, lives happily ever after. But then what? What happens after they drive away into the sunset? Who got a dog? Who had kids? Who is now in couples counselling? And please someone tell me, who takes out the garbage?
Disney left us with so many unanswered questions, so I am here to clear the air and tell you once and for all, what happened AFTER the ever after.

Snow White is still washing floors
Snow White is still washing floors when the kids go off to school, but now she no longer has the help of her enchanted forest animals to wash the dishes for her.
At least she no longer has to worry about poisoned apples. Every Thursday afternoon she heads down to her local grocer and makes sure she only fills her basket with organic whole foods…and of course a few bags of goldfish, and a bottle of Merlot.
Alice traded in her tea parties for cold coffee
No more chasing the white rabbits for Alice. Instead, she fills up on cold coffee so that she can keep up with her crazy toddlers, and their wild imaginations.
Cinderella is still losing shoes
We all thought that this princess would spend her days in fancy dresses and designer shoes. Turns out more shoes just equals more lost shoes. Cinderella still struggles to find a matching pair which often causes her to be the last mom at school drop off.
Rapunzel is finding new uses for that frying pan
Frying Pans! Who knew right? Now Rapunzel spends her Sunday mornings trying out new pancake recipes and playing Sudoko.
No more sleeping for this beauty. Now Aurora has a newborn
Even Sleeping Beauty can’t get a full night’s sleep these days. From midnight feedings with her newborn to scary dreams and bedwetting with her toddlers. All this princess wants is her long stretches of uninterrupted sleep again.
Ariel is stretching out those sea legs
Ariel realized that she shouldn’t have to change who she is for someone to love her, but she also realized that she liked dry land, and fancy pedicures, so she never went back to the ocean. After she dumped Prince Eric she took up yoga as a way to unwind and stretch out her new legs.
Belle now worries about fine lines and grey hairs
It’s a tale as old as time. Girl meets beast, girl and beast fall in love, beast turns into a boy, then girl and boy grow up and have 3 kids, 4 dogs, and one angry cat that never lets anyone pet it.
With the stress of raising a family, and dealing with a castle full of enchanted furniture demanding better works compensation, it can be hard for mama Belle to find time for herself. But when she does, her favorite way to unwind is to soak in a hot bath with a nice moisturizing face mask, and a big glass of Merlot.
Elsa is eating for two!
Elsa isn’t a mama yet, but those pregnancy cravings are out of control. Of course, her favorite would be big tubs of ice cream, that she generally washes down with a few dill pickles. Soon enough this Frozen princess will be bundling up her tiny humans for the blizzards that are sure to surround them.

While I love the effort on the part of the photographer, I'm annoyed by some of these story endings. There was no love interest for either Alice or Elsa, why would they have kids? Why are all of these endings so two dimensional and miserable mom focused??
Hi Kelsey, after putting this post together I have to say that I agree with your critique. Although I was trying to focus on the fact that happily ever after just doesn't exist, what I failed to do is show diversity in what life actually ends up looking like. Unfortunately this article is now trending and I am no longer able to make any edits to it, however I have rewritten what I feel like is a little bit more of an inclusive ever after for these woman and put it up on my personal site. Thank you for reminding me that all ever afters are beautiful, and even more important, different!
Thank you for the update! I'm interested enough to check it out. Is this the Instagram that's linked above, or a different personal site? (I'm pretty sure there are no rules preventing you from giving us a link!)
My instagram is listed above and my next post will be addressing this issue, however the site that I am referring to is right here: https://moderndaywonderland.com/2019/10/01/after-the-ever-after-disney-princess-motherhood/ Of course not all endings will meet everyones standards, but I appreciate the critique to send my thoughts and writing into different directions.
Read the updated version on your site; no signs of improvement. Thanks for being open to feedback and here's hoping that future efforts will have more depth and dimensions.
Because thats what happens to 90% of people.

Because most women end up having children at some point in their lives and of those most have a few "miserable" moments when they're tired. Just because the character didn't have a love interest in the movie doesn't mean they wouldn't have one later on.
"According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey, in 2014, 47.6 percent of women between age 15 and 44 had never had children." (Source: https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/04/09/childless-more-women-are-not-having-kids-says-census_n_7032258.html?ri18n=true). So do we really need to have ALL of these women (except maybe Rapunzel, the only description not specifically mentioning children) to be mothers or mothers-to-be?
Snow White wouldn't be washing floors. She's royalty now. Alice still states she loves tea more than coffee in the parks. Why even think of pairing Elsa with pregnancy??? She's independent and fine how she is. She doesn't have a male figure in her life yet. 😒
And she won't have any male figure on her life, she deserves a woman.
Please, no more disney princesses -.-
dnt look at em
