The piece of tit doesn’t have anxiety, he just doesn’t like being approached by peons when he’s in the parks. When the lockdown started he promised lots of “magical” new content ideas and videos, yet hast posted a single video since his last trip. Oh and I’m going to be petty and say he’s looking like he’s getting chubby from his latest photos.

Disney could probably do something if they wanted to, for example you're currently not allowed to sell photos taken in a Disney park, so they could impose a rule around filming for commercial purposes which restrict those vloggers who just do it for AdSense. Then if they wanted to allow a select number of YouTubers to film in the park they could provide media passes like they already do for events and press previews.
I think if they feel like it's getting too much they could just tell them to have media passes for vloggers. It certain would be more entertaining to see which vloggers would get them - although I would imagine that Disney would charge them for said passes, because that would weed out the people who are just using them for their own personal gain rather than people who would want to have a working relationship with them.
Although how would that affect small vloggers who are just vlogging their holiday for fun rather than for money?

you can maybe do something about restricting making money from a video, say that you couldn’t activate ad sense unless disney footage was approved/validated by Disney (the same way you can’t use commercial music on your videos unless you’ve paid/got permission)

But there is no way you can actively stop guests filming at the parks, what’s to say it’s not just somebody filming a home video and documenting their trip for friends and family

Can you imagine a guest that has spent thousands on their trip of a lifetime, only to be told they can’t use their camera/phone to film themselves in the parks - never gonna happen!
 
I think banning the adsense would probably the best way. I completely agree with not penalising families doing home movies but the impact professional vloggers have on the parks is increasing and encouraging more to follow their lead.
 
Yeah I think it would come down to whether the footage is being used for commercial purposes (i.e. on monetised youtube channels). They wouldn't want to penalise people taking holiday videos.

I just checked and they do have a rule in their park policies prohibiting photography, videotaping or recording of any kind for commercial purposes. Apparently with photography they come down hard on people who sell pictures of characters, but it's more lax with general shots of the parks. So it's more down to Disney if the cost of enforcing the rules was worth it to them.

Well Adam and Gary C are back together again for Adam's birthday weekend. They are social distancing but it looks like Gary is staying over at Adams for a few nights? Not sure why wouldn't Adam want to go to his parents place for his birthday since he probably hasn't seen them in a time?
 
What is really irritating me about Adam at the moment is he has done sweet FA for his fans during lockdown.

No new vlogs since the last trip, despite him saying he had plenty of content ideas and sit down vlogs he could do. But nothing for several months now.

Did 3 podcasts and then clearly gave up on that idea pretty quickly.

what he has been doing though is promoting his book, promoting his Merch, and pushing that DLP coach trip that he’s in a partnership with.

Basically, he’s doing nothing to give back to his fans, only if you are willing to pay for it, and it’s not worth his time to do anything that fans get for free.

Did anyone watch his live last night? Him and Gary spent about 20 mins talking about how bad the studios in Disneyland Paris are..... like they didn't have a single good thing to say about that park..... and I was thinking how unprofessional considering Adam is pushing this Disneyland Paris trip so much? So he's happy to make money from this trip and promote it to his fans even though he thinks the park is awful. I saw some of his fans in the comments being confused and asking them if they'd recommend skipping the studios altogether.... like how bad is that?? Surely, they'd want to make their fans excited for this partnered trip?? Not put them off??? Was pretty uncomfortable to watch ngl

Yeah, he really seems to just care about the money.

That's awful and if he is being paid by a business then I doubt they are too impressed. I mean, in fairness he isnt wrong about the park, but you don't say that when people have just spent thousands on a trip with you to there

yeah I agree with you. I don't like that park too much either, much prefer the main park. But it's the way he was saying it, like he could've just said "its not my cup of tea but others might enjoy it" or I dunno.... just talk about some of the good things about it too to balance it out? It would be very different if he didn't have this partnered trip, I just feel bad for his naive fans.

yes you can say they are working to improve it and at the moment it's more a half day park but that it still has some great points. All the Pixar stuff is really well done, Tower of Terror is a classic.

Seems like a slap in the face for them to complain so much about the park, like sure it wouldn't be on par to Orlando, but it's closer and it has improved - at least it seems it from the time I went there which was... about 17 years ago I think?
Mind you the pair of them just seem to like to complain about things, which can be okay, but it's constructive criticism that is really needed - or maybe even just saying that they are having a bad day and just need to whine about things.
I do agree with you Pop!91, Adam is just lazy and is wanting easy money, though that will likely dry up in time when his followers realise that he really doesn't care about giving them content - which gives him money - and instead he just wants to sell his rather questionable merch.

Bottom line is he isnt creative and not a great business man. I suspect he thought, oh I cant travel and Disney is closed so it's not my fault I cant do anything. wrong, with all the time and footage he has he could really have done some great stuff. Considering he has the cheek to sell that 50th anniversary book that should be done under the trade descriptions act, youd think he could reuse footage for creative content

There are so many red flags with that travel company. The cheaply designed website with spelling and grammar errors, suspiciously cheap pricing and the photos on Instagram of their office show a very bare bones set up like they've just moved in to one of those offices on a business estate (aside the few disney prints on the wall). The 'disney specialist' tour operator/travel agent is nothing new, they were around in the 90s, and nothing about this company shows solid and stable set up

The studios in dlp are tit. They are a recurring joke in the distwitter community. It was given a rubbish budget and they rushed it through. I hope the expansion still happens.

Ever after holidays posted an Instagram today ...?

I don’t think anyone is questioning that The Studios isn’t the best park right now, and can be disappointing after WDW.

I think the issue is with Adam and Gary openly dissing it, and at the same time pushing a sponsored DLP coach trip, with fans paying to come along, and funding their stay at the Disneyland Hotel.

I always say you can't compare WDW and Paris as they are so different and obviously DLP will be disappoining if you go in ready to compare. I found all the Paris info on The Imagineering Story on Disney+ so interesting!

I get that the studios isn't a good park and I can't wait to see what it is like once all the expansion work is done. Most of my favourite rides in DLP are in studios though; Crush's Coaster, ToT, Ratatouille, RC racer and Rock n Roller Coaster (which I can't wait to see themed as Iron Man).

I'm surprised Adam was talking about it so negatively when it does have good points, I would say mainly Crush as it is a Paris exclusive and is such a good ride. Also not the best promotion for his trip...

Exactly. WDW isnt like anyother Disney park as it basically isnt a Disneyland park. It's become it's own self contained world like Las Vegas. That said DLP is a much nicer park than Magic Kingdom. DLP is much better compared to the original in California and with that it holds up well. Studios has issues which they are working on. The main remaining issues are the food and the Disney village

Another issue with him dissing The studios at DLP - what’s the betting that he’s planning (or is currently writing) a DLP book (probably another reason for the trip).

“these parks are shite, but don’t forget to buy my £15 book about them” *makes hand under chin pose*

Doesn't matter though, people have already booked for his trip anyway, so he's got their money already.
You can't compare any of the parks really, I imagine the first park is the one that you instantly think of when you think of Disney Parks, although didn't Gary C say that Paris was his first Disney park? And it held a special place for him? I think he said it in the DLP vlog from an age ago.
I just don't understand why they are so bitter about everything, like everything. I imagine even if they - or just Adam on his on since I don't imagine Gary being able to afford going - when to Shanghi Disney or Tokyo Disney they would still complain about it.
