The princesses of Dismaland
are dismayed
by their company's poor marketing strategies
and lackluster consumer demand
Tinderella
is desperately seeking a hook-up
She checks her phone constantly
disappointed by the dearth of hot guys
Snow White Lives Matter Too
thinks she's socially conscious
and not at all racist
but just doesn't get it
Mariel
escaped her country on a crappy little boat
filled with convicts and the mentally ill
and nearly drowned in toxic waste-filled water
Jazzmine
is a brilliant artist
She is addicted to heroin
and will eventually be found dead in the Castle
Belle Jarre
is quite melancholy
and wanders the park
with her head in an oven
Chip and Dale
two washed-up ex-strippers
try to enliven the girls by offering lap dances
There are no takers
Even Pluto
the princesses' favorite pet
can't help cheer them up
Corporate deemed him no longer a character
He now sits outside the gates
howling at passers-by
and begging for scraps.

What a great encore to the Dismaland prompt! I laughed out loud at you descriptions, while admiring the cutting edge of social commentary. Very entertaining on all counts.
It was a sad place and you have echoed that beautifully here.
Oh you caught it so well... You might just as well ask yourself if the princesses are trailer park queens ..
Belle Jar . . . oh, this is brilliant!
Ha, funny on one level and biting on another just as good wit should be.
Wow! Forgive the profanity, but this was fucking brilliant. Green, enviable brilliant. I'm plotzing this is so good. Orale, this is a home run.
Yay!!! quite entertaining.
gracias
No one wants a lap dance from Chip & Dale? C'mon!
Love this, well done.
Belle Jarre!
