There's Now A Dating Site For People Who Love Disney
There's a new dating site for Disney lovers to find one another and hopefully, live happily ever after.There's a dating site for almost every proclivity these days, from Fetlife for the whips & chains crowd, to Christian Mingle, to Survivalist Singles for those who are planning for an impending Apocalypse. MouseMingle.com targets Disney fans who wish to meet their proverbial Prince (and Princess) Charmings, Mashable reports.
The site comes from Dave Tarvres, an admitted Disney fan, who came up with the idea after spending time at Disneyland in 2011. He said he was having a hard time finding women who were the right age, who lived nearby and who loved Disney.
Those who sign up on the site will find it works much like other dating sites, with options for messaging those whose profiles entice you, though there are a few cute Disney quirks. For instance, users will be asked questions about their favorites in the Disney universe and the cursor turns into a white Mickey glove. You can choose to search for a romantic relationship, or just friends or people to visit theme parks with—and you can search for someone who has an Annual Pass!
Accounts will cost you $12.55 each month (a nod to the park's official opening in 1955).
