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
Dan did a great job on this.

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!

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!

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).
