    Wow really!  I want to say that I am wearing the Belle of the ball!  There will be people that will buy this, but it does not look any different then many of the rings I saw when we were looking.  They will just mark the price up like you said because of the name behind it.  Kind of like another store we all know well...Tiffanys!

    I agree - when I think disney, I think fun rides, fun things for kids (and adults too).  More activities and movies.  I don't think, "hey I really wish I got my wedding gown and ring there!"  But I guess some people REALLY are obsessed with it!

    exactly - which is why I forbid DH to get me anything tiffany.  The diamond district has A LOT more to choose from and for less! :)

    I think dorky might say it well. The designs may not all be my style but the designs themselves are not offensive. I, personally, would not boast of my "Sleeping Beauty ring" regardless of the quality... but I'm not into Disney.Sadly, I bet some women will be all over those rings!

    Plain dorky.....When I think Disney, I think children....now I see them as greedy and wanting to make more money by going into the wedding industry

    There is nothing at all that distinquishes these rings from any other I have seen - what is there point? . . . besides profit-

    Mye - so mine and Terrell's matching disney zip up hoodies that we got one year because it was freezing are totally inappropriate? ??? is that what you're saying?? :) I TOTALLY agree! haha (but really - we do have matching ones.  But it WAS freezing!)

    its understandable, it was freezing, but now if i ran into you at shoprite and you were both wearing them, I would give you an eyeroll and maybe a dork as I walk by

    haha - just for that, we will be wearing them to the west orange shop rite tonight. :) For real though - we felt SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (and many many more OOO's) stupid.  But they were the only ones that were less than 50 bucks each!!!! so we just did it!  My family saw pics and they won't let us live it down now!

    I am a Disney fanatic and this is a lot- however I can tell you why... it's because there are those brides that call and say they want everything Disney... and I even had some girls call and ask if we made Mickey-head shaped engagement rings. People have their weddings at Disney solely to have Mickey & Minnie as a cake topper (btw- you can buy this at many stores at WDW for about $20) so Disney is just making a profit from those that LOVE everything disney. It's actually a good marketing piece for those that enjoy that kind of thing...
