Haven’t been here in a while, but: 100% this! Despite filming and commenting on construction for so long, David (and the Mickey Views guy, Brayden) have almost no knowledge of anything to do with actual construction or utilities. I think I remember that video, David was befuddled and mystified by a backflow preventer in Downtown Disney. ??? One very similar to almost every backflow preventer that keeps water from flowing in both directions for buildings and homes. Some expert, huh!He’s out of things to tape. He makes a living. By blogging..He must post 7 posting a week. Around 20 minutes each….Even at Disneyland you run out of things to film…. So you get crap like construction updates. “ 20 minutes on is this pipe a water pipe? Gas pipe? Is for a water fountain… drinking fountain…watering plants. O a planter. ..
Brayden is absolutely the WORST. He takes every opportunity to suggest that Disney is too cheap or too lazy to complete projects once they are underway. Unfortunately, if he had any clue about how Disney contracts work, he'd know that they almost exclusively use Cost Plus Fixed Fee contracts for everything, and everything goes out to competitive bid. The contractor is locked into the direct cost of the construction, as well as the maximum they can receive as profit. That, and stiff liquidated damages clauses mean that any cost overruns or delays fall squarely in the lap of the contractor.Haven’t been here in a while, but: 100% this!

My main gripe is the overly dramatic reaction to change. The reconfiguration of the Haunted Mansion extended queue being the current obsession. His overuse of words like "scary", "disconcerting", "unnerving", "disturbing", and "worrisome" are way over the top. As is his consolation to his viewers "not to worry" and "not to get discouraged" and to not "panic", border on the ridiculous. It's a theme park and they are reconfiguring some planters and concrete.Unlike many other theme park bloggers, they do seem to be decent people. It's easy to see that David's enthusiasm for Disneyland (which i personally find overwhelmingly annoying) is genuine - again, unlike some other bloggers. David seems somewhat aware - he recently said he knows he "drinks the Disney Kool Aid," but then claimed "a little."
The two criticisms I have of him are...
I've met him a couple of times in passing and he was genuinely nice both times. We only talked for a few minutes but it was a good exchange.I wonder if David or Liz follow this thread.
This thread is slow, which I think is a good sign for them. I honestly think they are nice people, all in all.
Disneyland content is less covered, so I appreciate that.
