It's time to pull out your mouse ears if you're single and ready to mingle.

The world's first all-Disney dating website launched Wednesday, uniting single fans of Walt's wonderful world.

Created by self-proclaimed "software geek" Dave Tavres, MouseMingle.com caters to people who are looking for their Prince or Princess Charming.

"Niche dating sites are more common these days," Tavres said, according to Los Angeles Magazine. "There's a dating site for pot lovers and JDate for Jewish people. The first time I saw Farmers Only I thought it was a 'Saturday Night Live' sketch."

Similar to regular dating sires, users are asked to check boxes asking about their favorite Disney songs, Disney shopping habits, and "Disney nerd level" in the hopes of finding a perfect match.

It is free to view user profiles and photos, but contacting someone costs a $12.55 per month membership, in a geeky shout out to the park's opening in 1955.

"I'm not the guy who hits on women at the Anaheim, California, park,and there's no flag that says, 'hey I'm single,'" Tavres, a former engineer on the Disneyland Railroad, confessed. "I found it hard to find women who were as interested in Disney as I am."
