Hello new here but not to Disney Vloggers
(or Disney).
We are fortunate enough to have family living near DW so manage to get fairly often. I know for some people it’s a trip if a lifetime and I can’t begrudge anyone wanting to go because it’s lovely BUT it really never shocks me just how many people commit to such an expensive trip and all the merch whilst forgoing basic things (like housing) to get there. I didn’t go until I was 31 and I’m sure I’m ok.
I watched one YT’er last night (sorry can’t remember who it was) who admitted that after her flight was delayed she didn’t have enough money to pay upfront for overnight accommodation (to be refunded by the airline). When I looked at her other videos they were full of loungefly hauls, Disney primark hauls etc. Surely you plan in contingency money in case of the unexpected- what do they do if they get home and their car won’t start or the boiler breaks etc . I do get it- that urge to provide your kids with a brilliant “dream” holiday but some of them don’t look like they have a life the other 351 days a year (apart from buying more Disney merch). I know an Instagramner who spent about £12k on a trip about 12 years ago and until about 2 years ago, when a family member helped them out, moaned constantly on her channel that she was stuck in a rent trap. It’s like they’re all Disney Derranged.
