The DisUnplugged #3 Cruising on Fumes by nightmaresunlimitedtravel

I had a chance to catch up with Craig and some of the team at the Epcot party. I offered if he ever wants to pour it all out like Sean did then I would post it on his behalf. He declined but this post from you mustve made him insecure because he sent me the email asking if he was crazy for your interpretation.

I mean, of course he is going to decline. He still works for the company and has no stake in it. If he goes around publicly badmouthing the people he works for he would be fired.

Whether or not they have a show this week, and if Pete is there, is a good barometer of the future of the show. If they/he can't be bothered after only the third CEO change since 1984 then I'm not sure what would move the needle.

So Craig sent me, personally, a passive aggressive email stating how he reads here and how me stating that he’s not an on air talent, and it’s getting to him. I saw the tone of it and just deleted it but he without a doubt reads here, hi Craig!

Nasty passive aggressive emails still do not make your in air skills any better. At least I thought you had thicker skin.

I thought it was a bit of an overstep to finish it saying from one miserable fuck face to another, but I guess you said that about him before so it was an attempt at being humorous but not passive agressive?

Besides that there was a part in about how you could share the whole thing if you wanted, asking you for any feedback that could help and asking you to share his email address with anyone who wanted to share their criticism helpfully. Also it doesn't take a detective to figure out your the same person when your username here is the same as your email haha.

Nothing against them, but they don't have the personalities to carry a show by themselves. It is sad to see Pete just give up on things that he was once excited about. That is a theme I see a lot with this channel, Pete starts things and then loses interest in a short time period.

I have to give Paul and Amy credit in that they seem to be somewhat knowledgeable and are at least trying to provide content and information.

However, you are right, they don't have the personality/charisma to carry the shows when Pete is not on; and it feels like Pete just doesnt have the same interest in DVC that he did 2 years ago, which means the show is probably sentenced to a slow death.

Erika is awful I don’t care if I get a lecture from @DisneyGirl13 shes atrocious

Feel free to say whatever you want about Erika. She is awful and I have yet to see a reason why she is even on the panel.

As for me being a Karen, let’s be real. You were the one being a Karen writing a “strongly worded email” to Pete. I just called you out on it.

 

[ilovegrapes75]

Are you able to paste it on here or can't because it's Patreon ?

It wasn’t more than what I posted really. No word on if Erica is actually going. Jackie said something in chat about how she says no on her behalf sometimes because they’re the only two writing right now

Gotta give Panda credit for his "I'm not her boss" line.

I know this story is supposed to make Erika look bad, but working with people like Ryno is the worst. Low-level employees who want to act like they are in charge, or even worse, get others to do the dirty work.

If you didn’t watch and you already don’t like Ryno I guess maybe you could think that; but it really came off like Erika says no to a lot and gets away with it.

 

[ilovegrapes75]

100% it was really amusing to watch and it sort of seemed like Panda was annoyed with the situation too. You can call him a diva if you want but nothing he said was a lie!

 

[Loueylouay]

I like people who are personable, relatable, and bring a sense of personality to what I’m watching. Passion and engagement are what I’m looking for.

On the Disney side:

Molly: from Mammoth Club is excellent you can have done Disney a million times and walk away learning something.

thetimtracker: hate him or love him he supports his own channel by taking you along his family vacation and seems to love what he does.

Paging Mr Morrow: Seems to legitimately enjoy what he does and feels like he takes you along as a friend.

Umm scratch Tim off that list.
Also of course Erika is a terrible hire...Pete is not a businessman. His travel agency is successful based on timing and luck.

 

[ilovegrapes75]

I agree but I still think that Kylie has an issue that needs to be addressed or it's going to get worse as the child gets older. I had 3 babies and I was always told that healthy newborns are highly protected from things like the common cold, flu etc

you were told wrong. Newborns can easily get things like that.

what did Erica add to Tuesday’s show? Single out the Erica segments it’s like why are you here

 

[Tbone1723]

I screen recorded the section I wrote out

There's a link to the section of the video, I screen recorded it since it looks like they're not going to cut it out of the video. Hopefully it works, took a while to find an anon/free website to upload it to.

good on ryno. That clip actually made me like him a lot more

 

[DJD]

Wow! Thank you so much Sean for sharing. I have a huge respect for those of us who struggle in life and then work their way out of it. You are doing great work, and I greatly appreciate your honesty. I obviously don't know you personally, but I have a major respect for your journey and I wish you and your adorable husband a very happy life!!

 

[Galaxyprincess]

From the patreon show, the wedding is in September so they can do Honolulu to Sydney cruise as their honeymoon. He wants the wedding at Portifino Bay. Gio says plan whatever you like.

Oh yeah, that wedding is so not happening.

 

[wtc50e]

Now that Craig’s on paternity leave the channel is completely dead.

 

[Anniebee]

Yeah I felt the loss of Charles was the beginning of the downward spiral for the Dis unplugged shows. He was hard to like at first, but then I came to really value his opinion. I know his past was problematic, but he never hid from that.

he seemed to just vanish from the shows and I’d still love to see him make an appearance.

 

[wtc50e]

SHUT UP about the husband being the therapist!

 

[Cinnamon1]

In an old series they had that guy who was a webmaster, Will, stay in the rooms. He was from Indiana? Or maybe Illinois?
Someone should stay in the rooms for sure.

It seems very disingenuous if no one stays in the room, it really isn't a review. They should be staying in the room, judging the quality of sleep, noting if it is quiet or loud at the resort, seeing how big the transportation lines/food lines, etc...

 

[nightmaresunlimitedtravel]

I don't blame Deni for starting her own channel. She's filling a need that the Dis channel doesn't fill anymore. I had no idea about the create-your-own popcorn at the MK or the to-go crepes in France because Craig and Ryno haven't begrudgingly made videos about them filled with their own self-hatred. And Deni is responding back nicely to any comments she gets. Again, compare that with the snarky replies the Dis gives.

I grew up in a very poor area and I moved to Florida to try and make a better life of some kind. I got a job at Disney and it was terrible. (theres actually a video of me discussing working at Disney and Pete made me scrap it because he said It seemed like I hated Disney and was going for them too hard - ironic right?) I made $7.83 per hour but it was my dream so I did it. I lived in a terrible motel on 192 called 'Home Sweet Home' that ended up getting shut down because one of the rooms exploded from a meth lab mistake and its all I could afford because they gave cast members a discount to live there. So I lived in that hotel or if I had a late shift (extra Magic hours would go til like 2am) and then had to open the next day (be back by like 6 or 7am) I would just sleep in the cast parking lot with some of the others that had the same issue or some were just homeless and lived in their car and would get a gym membership to have a shower.

I started seeing a guy who wasn't 'out' and he was a police officer. He was drunk one night and asked me to pick him up from a bar in downtown and I did. When I got there I had 2 beers with him and drove him home. I got pulled over after dropping him off and the officer questioned me hard about 'who' I dropped off and I wouldn't say because I didn't want to out him. So they arrested me, I blew under the legal limit but they arrested me anyway. (Apparently you can be arrested at any Blood Alcohol Level, but you only lose your license if you are at or over the legal limit) I didn't lose my license or anything, but I was no call, no show for work at Disney, so that was auto firing (beyond me already having dings for being late, Im late a lot sadly). I was given 24 hours to vacate the motel because I was no longer a cast member. I was contacted by every lawyer in town saying I was in a lot of trouble and needed to prepare for court, so I hired a very expensive lawyer and maxed out my credit card doing that. Then I couldn't rent anywhere without a job, so I had to live in my car a bit there until I had some money. So it was just a long series of unfortunate events. My case was immediately thrown out in court and the officer got reprimanded (turns out he and the guy I was seeing were going for the same promotion and he wanted to 'out' him to help his own odds apparently) but that didn't get me my job back or place to live. So long story short, desperation.

I slowly started to rebuild my life and finances and I took gigs like Uber, TaskRabbit and Instacart to try and stay afloat, but the money was definitely a lot better in escorting. I paid my taxes on it so I was able to buy a house and had my proof of income. I built that business up but I didn't want to do that forever, it was just a temporary thing but then I met Pete and I spoke earlier about first meeting him and that he was very pleasant and he gave me a chance with a job, but I just quickly realized, I wasn't given a job. I was just his personal escort and I was still in the same boat I was before, just making a lot less money and now with a bunch of jewels and crap I dont even like. I was determined to try and make the DIS work in some fashion because I felt there was something good there for me but I just didn't know what exactly, just a gut feeling that I should stick with it and eventually Ill know the plan. I actually asked to start as a volunteer and I begged to not go on camera but eventually I had to step in for someone on a Tuesday show because there wasn't enough people and Pete wanted me on everything, whether I was good or not at the topic.

I actually like doing real estate but I don't like running my own business. I like having a structured day and then when Im done, to shut my brain off. The DIS and MTO (and now with having my own) it just feels like my brain is having to constantly work, even when Im not active, so business ownership isn't my strong suit but it's the cards I have right now.

When I stopped, I had to come to terms with what I had done for those years and I eventually accepted it and moved on and now I have funny stories. As far as the Pete side of things, I am not there yet with that experience and I currently feel it wasn't worth it and I wish I'd never met him. Down the road I am hoping it's just another funny story, but we will see.

Thank you for sharing your story when you don’t have to. We are all trying to get through this journey of life the best we can. I hope openly putting your story out there gives you a sense of freedom and empowerment moving forward. Wishing you and your husband the happiest of holidays

 

[Cinnamon1]

He seemed "happy to be here" LOL but regardless, I hope he was at least given a choice. I guess an hour or two for a Tuesday show would be reasonable enough, especially with Panda out and the big news.... either way let's hope he's not already back full time.

He actually replied to someone comments on Paternity leave:

I’m on paternity leave. There was no one else able to do the show, so I chose to step in to help or I would’ve been sitting at home stressing about it. Add on the unexpected tech issues we had and that would’ve stressed me even more not being able to troubleshoot it.
