In a world dominated by TikTok hacks and Instagram reels, is print media making a comeback for Disney fans?Join me as I chat with Stephanie Shuster, CEO and editor of WDW Magazine—one of the last independent print magazines dedicated to Walt Disney World. We dive into the recent closures of Disney twenty-three and Star Wars Insider, the double-edged sword of social media trip planning, screen fatigue hitting Disney fans, and why the analog renaissance (think vinyl and film photography) might just be perfect timing for beautiful, tangible Disney inspiration.Discover why long-form content—like magazines and podcasts—still matters for deeper magic, smarter planning, and protecting the Disney fandom we love.If you&apos;re tired of endless scrolling and ready for coffee-table pixie dust, this episode is for you.Check out our guest&apos;s website here: <a href='https://www.wdw-magazine.com/'>https://www.wdw-magazine.com/</a> Contact my partners at <a href='https://mickeytravels.com/get-a-quote/'>⁠MickeyTravels!⁠</a> They are the perfect people to get your next Disney vacation booked.
