Yes! I can’t stand Kevin. He’s the most miserable boring curmudgeon. He’s lousy to everyone, including John.
- Notice
BIB - Oh my god! The housekeeping ads have got RIDICULOUS - I understand you have a company to run, and a fuck-ton of DVC contracts to finance, but oh my!I don’t think fiasco has the personality for on screen work but, actually, when it comes to Disney he kind of doesI don’t like the guy but it feels a bit like not liking a puppy, he’s so eager to impress and look like one of the gang, and Pete see a venerability like that and goes after it.
he’s becoming very very bitter, I think he’s still with Sean but hes not stupid, he must be slightly embarrassed by the difference in them, age wise, everything.
his personality lately reminds me of an alcoholic, nasty and arrogant and toxic when drunk, but he’s that when he’s dry
even the gratefulness he showed for support at the start of the pandemic has turned to (New Jersey overemphasised accent) ” you wan‘ a show we need to pay for that show so if you feel we’re pushing too many housekeeping ads ge’ outta’er”
the excuse he uses about fiasco, and how if he “banters” with younits actually a compliment, what he does isn’t banter, he purposefully goes out of his way to embarrass him like he’d never do with anyone else on that line up.
I now feel sorry for the puppy.
it’s what has put me off the podcasts recently, I feel like I’m being preached to, or pressured by a used car salesman!

Ok, during today's liveshow when Pete was lecturing us about being nice to cast members, who else thought about the time he got mad at the stormtrooper for having the gall to accost him in Galaxy's Edge?

This is what bothers me the most about him. Lots of people have successful businesses, lots of people make 500 k a year, lots of people own a travel agency...get a grip Pete.

Fiasco and his wife have to pay for their dinners now.

Pete: "Castaway Cay is amazing and totally worth a trip!"
Also Pete: "I only get off the ship at Castaway if I have a cabana."

That may be true now, but I believe it has changed over time and may have been much more lucrative in the past. Just follow Corey on social media. See his house, his cars, his lifestyle, that's all I can say. But I appreciate your compliments and comments.
Pete goes on to list the positives of Disney to keep them on side,
Alani and other upscale options that many can’t realistically afford!!

Oh I was joking, i don’t think there’s a show when deni doesn’t say the word kiddos
Even the comments find it annoying and asked her to stop

From what I remember, Craig and Ryno are the only full-time employees of the vlog. Everyone else has to do something in addition to that, like work for the world's worst travel agency, be an admin on a web blog that makes MySpace look like the year 2355, or wax Pete's back (talkin' about you Panda). It's been established that Pete's team doesn't get paid well, they don't appear to get a lot of benefits, they won't do certain reviews because Pete takes forever to reimburse them, and they have to work for someone who feels free to belittle them simply because he signs their paycheck. Who in their right mind would want to work for Pete?

I watched the latest podcast and kept thinking how lucky Corey got, damn! The website is so 1998 looking and the travel agency website is so dreadful a guy I recommended it to (who was booking a pricey Med cruise and wanted to get credit) thought it was a scam and wouldn't trust the company. I sent him the link to the forum and the Youtube 'it's these people, it's not a scam' and he was stunned that they didn't have a better setup. As it turns out they responded to him 3 weeks after he asked for a quote so he went with another company!
So, it shouldn't have surprised me to hear Corey say he had no experience, no qualification, and just winged it but ---I'm kinda surprised that Pete didn't send him packing over the years and replace him with someone who can do better. What sheer dumb luck for Corey though!
Some of the other stuff they said though backs up what some posters here have said. They have a loyal clientele with deep pockets and are not as interested in winning over new customers or younger Disney fans. That may be their downfall. 3,500 each for a trip to DL with them? 12,000 for the Christmas markets tour Kevin is shilling, 30 people are paying at least 5K just on cruise fare alone to sail with J&K, 20K per family for an Adventures by Disney trip to Sicily (no airfare!) - one of the cheapest places I have visited in Europe. If I could poach those clients I think I'd have a trunk full of David Yurman bling too

Pete has common sense what he doesn’t have is any humility he treats his show like a showcase for him and his other mostly gay friends to flaunt Disney vacations and experiences that you’re apparently jealous of. Meanwhile he keeps trying to fill the void in his miserable life with young boys who see through the facade once the money is spent.
Oliver was one of my families favorites. I didn't like Charles at the beginning, but then he sorta clicked on me. I also like Craig. He seems more real.
That being said however, I can't stand Sean. He knows next to nothing about Disney. Same with Fiasco. He is probably my least favorite. I don't know why he's even on the show. He never has anything helpful to say.

Do not forget his other businesses. The DisBoards and youtube videos make significant income in ad revenue. Also realize almost all of what he does as far as trips, meals, events etc are not paid for by his personal money. They are paid for by Dreams as business expenses.

Yeah Sean is still around and still wearing shirts that don’t fit him.

Is this their attempt at earning diversity points?

I’ve been watching them, mostly the cruise videos, lately and oh my Sean is so annoying. He’s so uncultured, sounds like a high school girl impersonating Dolly Parton, he knows nothing, puts his foot in it all the time (like mentioning that AKL has great staff that come from Africa and even though he’s doesn’t care about all that diversity stuff he’s amazed at how much it adds to the place.…Steve called him out but he sounded like such a hick). I picked up that a they must be a couple as Pete said they had a cabin together…It explains why he appears in so many shows when he has nothing to contribute. Fiasco is another airhead. He loves spas and that makes me miss living in Americans because it was easy to find straight men who loved the finer things in life like spas and nice hotels and restaurants! Since moving home I meet guys who think Nando’s is haute cuisine lol but otherwise he’s another who embarrasses himself with the nonsense he says
Craig is weird. He’s very monotone and droll so it’s hard to figure him out. He comes across better in the cruise vlog he did with his wife.
Deni is fantastic. Always prepared and is a great speaker. I saw a video of her doing a tour of the Riviera room and if I was Pete I’d have her do a tour of every resort room and the cruise ships and have those on the travel agency website because she’d be a great advert for the business.
The YouTube shows are entertaining and a decent distraction from the doom and gloom that greets you here if you dare turn on the telly or Facebook but most of them are poor ambassadors for the agency. Pete is going on a $13,000 5 night cruise on the wish! John and Kevin are going to a deluxe villa in Hawaii. I’d love a nosey at some video footage but as a normal punter I’d like to see them get more excited and give more info about the $2,000 cruises and the standard rooms that most of us will be in the market for.
I also think Pete has done very well financially but the younger ones are getting a bit too excited imo and are likely in a lot of debt buying houses and dvc left and right. Pete churns through staff and Orlando is still cheap compared to most parts of the US but there’s a whole lot of financing going on I think !

They used to have Jenny Lynn.
You're absolutely right, they don't know the first thing about traveling with kids. Hearing what their clients report verses living it are very different things. It's like the old gossiping ladies pretending they know what it's like to be a young adult in 2022 just because they hear a few things.
It's a show geared toward Adults with no kids, which is really odd since more than half the people looking for info have kids.
