Stamos’ rep confirmed to PEOPLE that the actor, 54, proposed to McHugh, 31, at the theme park resort with a short film of romantic moments from animated Pixar and Disney films, ending the display with The Little Mermaid — which encouraged Stamos to “just ask the girl” before he popped the question.
He then whisked her to 21 Royal, where they celebrated with their families.
PEOPLE confirmed Stamos was dating McHugh in March 2016 after the actor hinted that he was seeing someone during an appearance on The View.
“They have a lot in common. Caitlin plays music and John loves music,” a source later told PEOPLE. “She is a really sweet person.”
