Social media sensation and artist Stefdies added another one of her performances of “dying” at Walt Disney World.
The Walt Disney World Resort in Central Florida is one of the best places in the world for a Disney vacation. It has well earned its moniker “The Most Magical Place on Earth,” considering it is a place where many go to fulfill their fantasies and dreams.
Now, an artist and social media sensation has added Walt Disney World to her list of performances.
STEFDIES “Dies” at Disney World
Those of us on Instagram might be well informed about STEFDIES. It’s a photographic performance art series by artist Stephanie Leigh Rose. Rose is credited with creating the Anti-Selfie movement. The website explains,
The series is a reaction to the pressures of social media, selfie culture and consumer consumption. Thus the character of STEF was born. Creator Stephanie Leigh Rose transformed her own experience of sexism, racism and classism into a positive outlet, where a series of images can link people through a shared experience of a laugh, or an excitement to travel.
Most recently, STEF took this performance to Walt Disney World and “died” in front of Mickey Mouse. You can check out the photo for yourself below!

While this might seem a little morbid, as STEF clarifies in the caption of the photo, “STEFDIES with Mickey Mouse
p.s – he loved it 😆.”
The website further contextualizes the art practice. It explains, “STEFDIES is a celebration of life. It is a reminder to live for more than just getting that perfect picture and not take for granted our time on this planet.”
Fans in the comments also loved the photo and shared their appreciation for Rose’s artwork.
While this isn’t the usual content we expect from a Disney World visit, it’s certainly a welcome change from what we know of the Disney Park. Let it never be said that Walt Disney World left one’s dreams or desires unfulfilled! Even Rose got her wish of “dying” and continuing her performance at “The Most Magical Place on Earth.”
