Dad dresses up as mermaid alongside daughter, wins the Internet’s heart
Everyone can pack up and go home because this father-daughter duo have won the Internet for the day.
A picture of a little girl dressed up as Ariel from “The Little Mermaid” being accompanied by her mer-dad in Disneyland has gone viral on Imgur and Reddit. Not only did the dad wear a giant sparkly mermaid tail, he accessorized with a gold crown and hand cuffs — possibly to look like King Triton.
As Little Mermaid fans would know, King Triton is Ariel’s dad, which just adds another layer of cuteness to this photo!
“I’m sure he’d be carrying around a fake trident too if park security would let him,” wrote one Reddit commenter.
Since the image was posted, it’s been viewed over 1.5 million times and has attracted hundreds of comments from non-merfolk, most of them praising the dad’s actions.
“Now that is how you dad,” wrote ricochetbiscuit on Imgur.
“As a person who’s dad wasn’t always there, this made me cry,” wrote the13pianist on Reddit.
One commenter even shared a story of his own — “I went to Disney’s Not So Scary Halloween at Disney World with my daughter last night. She wanted us to all go as princesses, so not to disappoint I went as the fattest and ugliest Cinderella you have ever seen. I had a blast.”
Way to go, dads!
