Not me. I can literally drive to Epcot in ten minutes, Magic Kingdom in fifteen, I don't work, and I have an AP. WDW reservations are always available. I could go almost every day... and I haven't been in like three weeks because no sane adult wants to go to Disney every day.

It's noisy, and visually cluttered, and full of constant multidirectional motion. Nobody can take that kind of sensory over-stimulation on a regular basis. I worked in a Universal park for a couple of months and thought I would lose my mind. It took weeks to get the music loop out of my head.

Definitely not envious of any of the vloggers, but especially not envious of BLAB. Toxic relationship, destroyed friendships, burned bridges, constant lying, and for what? So you can beg strangers to pay to watch you eat a cupcake?

As I'm typing this I had a bit of an epiphany: Disney vlogs are Disney park porn. People are watching to get to feel like they're having an experience they're desiring, and they're having emotional, visceral reactions to what they're seeing. They can even pay extra for special requests, or private access. It's Park Porn.

Not shaming sex workers by any means, btw. As long as everyone is of age and consenting, go for it. Ironically enough, that's our biggest objection to the Park Porn...
We live about the same distance (Just up osceola near the loop) We go a few times a week. Often we go without riding anything, we have sorcere passes but we enjoy a nice walk from boardwalk to Epcot then around world showcase. Going every day??! No thank you!

Okay well I live in Kentucky and going to Kroger is the highlight of my day, so cut me a little slack here, gang.

I’m a bit further, up in Jax, but have AP’s. Disney is a frequent trip but we can only handle 3-4 days, and even those we take breaks - we are late 40’s/mid 50’s, kids are grown. Even when we were younger 4 days was about all we could handle, and we did our passes every other year to not get too bored with it. No way we could go every day.

Finally getting a moment to look over the poll and I'm going to sit this one out. All of the above is not an option and there's no way I can choose a WORST. :oops:
I’m sorry I didn’t make it multiple choice! 😭😭😭 I knew it would be a hard one. Whoever creates the next pool should redo it and do multiple!

Honestly, in their 4th of July video, they shouldn’t have mentioned anything at all. Not current events of any kind and certainly not their own dumb situation. I think most of us want to see Disneyland. I don’t want to be reminded of any of the terrible things in the world in a Disney vlog. And I don’t want to hear about their problems either. Just shut up and show me the wonder of the happiest place on Earth.
I was thinking that too. MJ doesn’t comment on ANY topic. I like that.

Nah... if nothing else it will force me to exercise against my tendency towards indecision and really evaluate things. :LOL:

Can I start the morning with a few randoms?

- I did spend a few minutes this morning checking out the BLAB-related conversations on IG and Twitter, and yikes...some of y'all are really taking one for the team. Glad you're producing receipts, and I guarantee that more than a few BLAB stans are unwittingly going to a place with the purpose of taking up for BLAB, but walking away feeling like their eyes have been opened. Definitely gonna backfire on BLAB in a few instances.

- One of the arguments I kept seeing made, especially on IG, was that these threads exist because we're all just jealous of vloggers. I mean, I GUESS. Would I love to get paid to visit theme parks every day and make videos? Sure, who wouldn't? But would I trade my life for theirs? Nopity nope nope nope. I have a great job, an income that allows me to do what I want to do, people who love me, etc. So in THAT regards, it's not jealousy. At all.

But here's the other thing...if it was purely jealousy, why aren't there threads about all the other vloggers? Sure, each one is gonna have their detractors. But on a personal note, I happen to like Ordinary Adventures. And Mondo. And Magical Journeys. And I like Fresh Baked's videos as well. If it was purely jealous rage towards all Disney vloggers, each one of them would have their own threads just as active as this one. But they don't. They don't inspire the same feelings. So there's something UNIQUE about BLAB that causes this....and if you haven't seen it by now, then Stevie Wonder could probably beat you in a demolition derby.

- Same goes for Yankee in the South (which is the reason I ended up on Tattle). My issue with them isn't because they're a Smoky Mountain vlogger. I love Adventure is Out There (another Smoky Mountain vlogger). My issue with them is, well, there isn't enough space on this page.

- Florida Resident Edits...come back. We need you now more than ever.

- Time to crack open a Diet Mountain Dew, gang.
Re: jealousy. I go to the parks for a complete escape but after a couple of days of broken rides, sitting on dirty pavement for parades, theme park food and INSANE crowds, I’m DONE for a few months. Why would I ever be jealous of people who have to use GROSS public bathrooms for their “job”. Or have to fight crowds? They don’t even do the magical things, like go to the Minnie Plaza bfast or watch the shows at the Royal theater, go through the pin trader binders or see what new Indiana Jones inspired Mickey stuff is at Trader same. Their videos don’t come w ANY magic. I’m GREAT working remotely, saving my money and then using it to take multiple vacations to multiple destinations.

That only applies to her not to her underage niece who she is not a legal guardian for and has absolutely no say in putting her medical information, photos or anything online.

It is absolutely shameful how she uses that little baby for likes, sympathy and as a poster child for bullying 😔

I had an aunt who would do tit like this when I was a kid and I say had because I refuse to talk to that crazy witch. She would always use me for her benefit and left me with empty promises and bad memories.

Her niece is getting older and it's only going to be worst to have her exposed like that for the world to see. She needs privacy to live her own childhood.
She is just like Jenn Tracker with that. They both use these children for bait to get more money.

These days Best Life and Beyond are the pariah of vloggers. That guy on tik tok had it right, they are the worst of them all! Oh well if their Stans can’t see that but many others do. The fact that there are so many parody videos calling them out and a signed petition growing by the minute speaks volumes. It’s only a matter of time before they’re irrelevant. They should have just bowed out gracefully with a shred of dignity. Now they’ve humiliated themselves and their family. They are a running joke and will continue to be
Honestly, did they think that this is what they're going to do for the rest of their lives until they retire? I mean, Spencer has maybe 15-17 years before he can legally retire and Katie has 31 years. What a way to earn a living, being abhorrent public figures at the Happiest Place on Earth. I give them a year, maybe two, but I agree that at some point they will no longer be relevant. There are so many other vloggers out there who are doing the same thing with a better attitude and better equipment. You notice the ones who are the most successful don't have to pedal their merchandise or beg for Patreon members? People naturally gravitate towards them and are willing to support their channels because their content and character are quality. They're the same people who get invited to media events, who get sponsored, who have surpassed the 100k subscribers without behaving so badly towards others. Truly, if this ended all today for them, Katie and Spencer really have no skills to fall on. They lack basic people skills.

Honestly not just them. I see vloggers that get over million viewers, sponsored and buy million dollar homes going on constant vacations. More power to them but what happens when the gravy train ends? All shows eventually end

That was a hard one to decide on. Too many vile things to choose from
Agree. I ended up narrowing it down and went with her niece because family, y'know...? Strangers are strangers but family?? You don't do that (for the most part. I know there are circumstances here and there). But ESPECIALLY a child.

Starting to work in ideas for an Oogie Boogie Bash costume. Do you know if they will allow masks over the eyes not the mouth?

Same. For me it came down to who is the most helpless (as in who suffered the most because she obviously doesn’t know what it means to put her personal medical info and picture on IG and TRUSTS adults to keep her safe still) in the situation in it’s absolutely the niece.
