Cory D. sent us these pictures of gendered T-shirts for kids at Disneyland (see them here).
T-shirt text: “I rode [the Pirates of the Caribbean ride] and I spun around in a [teacup]. I ate some [ice cream] and yummy [popcorn]. But the best part of my trip is when I met [Goofy, er Pluto].”
T-shirt text: “I rode [the Carousel]. I saw [Cinderella] and went to her [castle]. I spun in a [teacup] and I ate [ice cream]. But the best part of my trip is when I met [The Little Mermaid].”

It's hard to tell, but I think that's actually Pluto on the boy's shirt.

I have three daughters and that girl shirt pretty much sums it up accurately.

Also, the first character on the girl's shirt is Sleeping Beauty, not Cinderella.
And, yuck.

I don't see the big deal. If your girl (or boy) seems to fit into the description of the other shirt better, then get them that one. If you don't want to enforce gender stereotypes anyway, the shirt color or font shouldn't stop you from getting the shirt that best fits your child's interest/personality.

The princess on the girl's shirt is actually Aurora from Sleeping Beauty

The second one is highly gendered, but I actually feel like the first one is gender-neutral. I don't think anybody would look twice at a little girl wearing the first one.

Also, the "boy" shirt mentions eating two things while the "girl" shirt only mentions one.
