The Full House actor, 51, popped the question to his longtime girlfriend Caitlin McHugh, 31, while at Disneyland over the weekend.

“John proposed to his girlfriend Caitlin McHugh on Sunday afternoon at Disneyland,” the actor’s’ rep told E! News. “He cut together a film of some of the most romantic moments in Disney and Pixar animation. The film concluded with Sebastian from The Little Mermaid encouraging John to ‘Just ask the girl.’ Caitlin said yes, then John whisked her to 21 Royal where they shared the news and celebrated with their families.”

Swoon!

Confirming the engagement in an adorable Instagram post, the much-loved actor shared an illustration of himself and his soon-to-be wife in front of the theme park’s Sleeping Beauty Castle.
