Anyone at @disnet.bsky.social have any research going/particular enthusiasm for Disney's "Sleepy Hollow" film? Looking for some resources for an upcoming spooky season podcast episode
Incredible depiction of the economic divide creating two WDW vacations. @lentesta.bsky.social 's data is compelling as always. Required reading. @bethaneeb.bsky.social @disnet.bsky.social #DisSky #Disneyland #WDW

We have made it to our Social Event: [Dis] Are A Few of My Favorite Things! Come join us for our show-and-tell of Disney stuff...and also to celebrate a wonderous and magical #DisNet2025 Conference conclusions!!
The Roundtable has begun, "'Dream Big' and 'Create your World': Interrogating Gendered Performance in Disney Spaces" WOO HOO!
We are closing out the scholarship part of the Conference with the roundtable, "'Dream Big' and 'Create your World': Interrogating Gendered Performance in Disney Spaces", followed by our Social Event!
So excited to hear this exciting conversation!
Our next panel, "The Happiest(?) Place(s) on Earth?: Disney Parks Experiences III" will be starting at the half-hour mark! If you like Disney Ducks, then you'll probably love this panel...I don't know the correlation, but they are both incredible!
Happy 626 Day! We are a Stitch stan club! #DisNet2025
#DisNet2025 is heating up (just like Animal Kingdom today)! But let's go to the West Coast for our next panel, "I'm Going to Disneyland!': Disney Parks Experiences II," which is starting momentarily! Keep this party going!
Unfortunately, this year is not being recorded. But, follow up with all of the presenters because everyone loves to continue talking about these all the time! #DisNet2025
Grab your balloon, Mickey pretzel, and favorite ears for our next panel, "Meet You on Main Street: Disney Parks Experiences I"!
Maybe the Dapper Dans will make an appearance (note, the Dapper Dans will not be performing during this panel; instead, we have incredible scholars presenting!)
We are so excited! #DisNet2025 😍
The last first Q&A of #DisNet2025 begins!
We can go the distance! #DisNet2025 Day 3 begins!
Day 3 is going to be the "Kiss Goodnight" of all conference days. We are kicking off the day in about 30 minutes with "Disney's Vision: From Animation to Disney+".
So, grab your churros, Minnie ears, and we will see you all super soon!
🥹🥰
We cannot wait to have you join us! #DisNet2025
Really enjoyed presenting "'More treasure
in books…' Disney's Capitalization of Bookishness in Merchandise" to the always wonderful @disnet.bsky.social community this morning!

Day 2 of #DisNet2025 was everything that I ever dreamed of! I cannot wait for our Day 3 (final day of the conference) starting at 12:30 BST!
You’ve done your duty, you can go home and schleep well (until tomorrow 🤓)
The Keynote Roundtable was DOLE WHIP (that is my new adjective for the greatest and sweetest treat).
We are getting ready for our final panel of the day, so make sure to go down this "foxhole" with us and "Out-Foxing Fascism: Has Disney Paid their Debt?"
Starting very soon!
We really are having a DisNet kinda day!
I gotchu, @drrobynmuir.bsky.social
The Keynote Speaker Roundtable featuring Carissa Baker and Josh Nelson is starting in about 15 minutes!
This is one Keynote that will make the unveiling of Galaxy's Edge look like child's play! (Sorry, I had to get PMM in this somehow...that was how I get paid...lol).
