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

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!

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!)

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!
