Instagram has taken the social media world by storm since it was released in October 2010. Today, more than 1 billion users actively utilize Instagram monthly and more than 500 million users log on daily. 52% of those users are female and 32% of all internet users are on Instagram (Onmicore).
As one of the “younger” social media platforms, it is pretty incredible that Instagram is the 3rd most utilized platform, after Facebook (the parent company of Instagram) and YouTube. Equally as amazing is that 78% of Influencers, people who possess an expert level of knowledge and/or social influence in their respective fields, prefer Instagram for Brand Collaborations.
But where does Disney fit into this Instagram craze?
Log on to Instagram and head to the “Explore” page. In the search bar type in #disney. As of today, you will be able to browse 62 million posts that users have hashtagged (a categorization tool) “Disney.” This number does not include all the other Disney related hashtags that are out there like #disneystyle, #disneyhome, #disneyfoodie, #disneywedding, and many more.
Many of the users posting pictures and videos using Disney hashtags are accounts that focus completely on Disney, like mine, @karmankismet. If you were to look over my shoulder while I was on my @karmankismet Instagram, you would see nothing but Disney – both in terms of the pictures and videos I post and the accounts that I follow. My feed shows off my personality and the intersection of my other interests with Disney. You’ll see lots of bold colors, artwork, DIY projects, and pictures of my friends and family.
Something else you’ll find when scrolling through my feed, is positivity. Instagram has gotten some heat over the years for causing anxiety, depression, bullying, and FOMO, or “fear of missing out” (TIME Magazine). The study noted surveyed 1,500 teens and young adults, and while I do not fall into that category now, when Instagram first came out, I was a teen heading into college. When I started using Instagram, I had a personal account through which I connected with my classmates, friends, and family members. On my personal account I would often feel FOMO or worry about why my picture had not been liked by someone in particular. That pressure was self inflicted and as I got older I realized I didn’t need to place that pressure on myself. At that time, I stumbled upon the Disney Instagram Community.
I created my @karmankismet account to showcase my love of Disney without the fear of being judged by my personal contacts and connect with people who shared my interests. Over the last few years I have made friends who understand the importance of keeping a continual Disney countdown, appreciate my Disney inspired artwork, and will message back and forth for hours about the latest Disney news. Each account I follow exudes positivity and brings a little bit of that Disney magic into my day.
One of the best parts of the Disney Instagram Community is the diversity. I follow over 1,000 Disney accounts that each have a different way of showcasing their Disney love. Below are 10 Disney Instagrammers who I love and think you will to!

I love the Disney Instagram community – some of these accounts are new to me, and I can’t wait to check them out! 🙂
Definitely do! They’re wonderful!
It’s amazing to think that YouTube is more popular than Insta but then you think about how many people use YouTube for everything!
So true – how many times do you search for a “how to” video on YouTube? I know I do quite a bit!
A few more accounts to explore! Positivity is contagious and when paired with Disney what could be better???
Couldn’t agree more! It’s the best!
