What does it mean to be a "Disney Adult" in 2025? Is it a badge of honor, a term of ridicule, or something much more complex? Why does loving a theme park as a grown-up spark such an intense and polarizing debate online?

In this thought-provoking episode, Serena sits down for an in-depth interview with the founder of the Disney Food Blog and one of the most respected voices in the community, the one and only AJ Wolfe.

Together, they go far beyond the stereotypes to unpack the "Disney Adult" label, exploring what it reveals about the state of modern fandom, the power of online communities, and the ever-changing relationship between fans and the brands they love.

In this conversation, you'll hear about:

• The cultural conversation surrounding fan communities and why the "Disney Adult" has become a focal point.
• How social media has empowered fans to influence and effect real change within a massive corporation like The Walt Disney Company.
• AJ Wolfe's incredible origin story: her personal journey from starting a passion project to building one of the largest and most influential Disney media companies in the world.

Whether you proudly wear the 'Disney Adult' label or are just curious about the dynamics of fandom and media, this is a must-listen conversation about how passion can build an empire and change the conversation.

You can check out AJ's new book, available now at Amazon or any book retailer, or visit her website for more information.
