Great social to end the third annual Disney, Culture and Society Research Network conference! Where else can I show off my dewback collection? #Disnet2025 See you real soon! Mid-Atlantic Popular & American Culture Association (MAPACA) Popular Culture Association

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!

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! docs.google.com/presentation...

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!

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).

What questions do you have for the panelists? Ask them now! #DisNet2025

We have begun our panel, “Into the Unknown: Disney Experiences”! Come, join, and experience the latest in how we engage with our favorite House of Mouse!

There is never such a thing as "too much fun" here at #DisNet2025! What are you doing to keep up the energy and stamina?! (This is much easier than walking around the parks in this Summer heat!)

Come play with us. We promise this panel, "Just One More Quest: Playing Disney," will be a lot less scary than The Shining! Starting soon!

This book talk is so intriguing! Join us for the Q&A happening now!

Book Lovers...this next panel will send a tickle up your "spine" 😋. "Once Upon a Time: Disney Stories" is coming up!

Day 2 has begun! For some reason, I have Wicked stuck in my head this early, but maybe it fits this panel about “Resisting(?) Disney”? I’ll manifest this. #DisNet2025

Day 2 of #DisNet2025 is kicking off in less than an hour with the engaging panel, "Resisting(?) Disney"! Remember that the links to the Zooms can be found embedded within the program, and also on the Discord! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out here on Bluesky or Discord!

🥰🥰🥰

Our Final Q&A about It's A Small World, Brazilian, politics and culture, and so much more! @juliabrazil.bsky.social #DisNet2025 The pic below: how I feel after a whole day of incredible Disney scholarship being pushed in my brain! After that, we will see you all tomorrow for Day 2! 🥰

The Conclusion to DAY ONE of #DisNet2025 is beginning!

Me in between panels for Day 1 of #DisNet2025!

Our Final Panel of the day (we still have two more days) will be starting in about 30 minutes: "Is it a Small World After All?: Disney and Culture"! This is going to make you think the rest of your day/night/summer/winter/everything!

The Q&A for these wonderful panelists...where do we even begin! Join us now! #DisNet2025

"It All Started with a Duck?: Disney's Evolution of Television" has begun! Come check out these presentations...and maybe a little bit of Magic! #DisNet2025

What are you doing during your #DisNet2025 breaks in between the panels? Any good Mickey Pretzels or a trip to the Moana Splash Pad? 🤪

Sounds like a stellar event! 🌌✨ Fashion in sci-fi like "Dune" shows how style reflects culture. "The spice must flow!" 🪐📚 What’s your favorite sci-fi fashion moment? #DisNet2025

It's always a good day to talk about Disney cat ladies!

So sad I can't be at #DisNet2025 this year! Such a stellar slate of presenters and presentations 💖

Time for the Q&A that includes the Halcyon, Fashion, Galaxy Quest, and the environments of Star Wars. LET'S GO!
