@Cinnamon1 That is absolutely correct.Craig told her no and that she needs to learn by trial and error on good places in DL and Anaheim!
There is no way Craig would have given a straight no to giving recommendations to Cathy/Jackie/Deni when she was there. For anyone that did not listen or get the Patreon show, Craig gave a tip for visitors to DL. He said to make sure you venture out into Anaheim during your trip because there are a lot of cool spots to visit. Erika asked for a list and Craig gave a stern no, you need to do it yourself.@Cinnamon1 That is absolutely correct.I wonder, however, if he would have responded to anyone else that way? For example, to someone in the chat or to a Patreon member? Notwithstanding, he is free to say and do what he wants, but it did appear to be quite snarky in front of the viewers. Yes @dizfan1124 it was quite tense and it did not need to be. 🫢 Just my opinion.
Good for you. Just find it interesting that we know he reads here and following a peak period of anti-Craig discussion, suddenly several new members appear in defense of him. For the record, I don't dislike the guy. Just pointing out a shift in discussion is all.Pretty new to this platform but not new to the Dis (not associated with them). I was trying to look something about Pete maybe and tattle was one of the recommended sites. I’ve been listening to the Dis since probably 2012 and met the team at two different GKTW fundraising meetups that would be hosted in various states. I like Craig and I like his dry, sarcastic humor. Sue me.
I feel like it isn’t that new. Before the shake up with Sean’s kind of Q+A here, there has always been a bit of back and forth about Craig, Ryno too. I don’t think it’s like he’s sending his friends to defend him or anything.Good for you.

Interesting to see that Deni's channel already has more than double Ryno's subscribers. That's got to sting....I feel like it isn’t that new.

I want to see a lineup of all Pete’s recent designer shirt offerings. It’s so outrageously gay Jersey uncle. Also, if people from the Dis are reading here, can you please all dress as Pete for Halloween??
Ryno usually posts about pretty niche stuff through. And he usually stops whatever project he’s into less than 1/2 way through it.Interesting to see that Deni's channel already has more than double Ryno's subscribers. That's got to sting....
Honestly, I loved the snark! Maybe, just like us, Craig has had enough with this person who knows nothing about Disney. I’m sure most of us here have done more at Disney World than Erika@Cinnamon1 That is absolutely correct.I wonder, however, if he would have responded to anyone else that way?

Long-standing pet peeve of Pete's. He used to get Fiasco all the time for that, he just got Panda on the recent DVC show and I guess it was Craig's turn.Did anyone catch the part in Tuesday's weekly vlog where Pete got pissy because Craig kept up a picture too long (in Pete's opinion) and wanted the camera on him talking? What an asshole. Can't imagine what he does off camera.
Kind of makes me want to subscribe just to see it.Anyone watch the Patreon show? It gets real tense between Erika and Craig multiple times. At one point he sound absolutely frustrated with her for telling him to send her a list of recommendations
This is what started the downturn of the show. Kevin and John stopped going to the parks. Pete doesn't go to the parks. Ryno can't deal with the parks anymore. Craig, still goes to the parks, but is now openly miserable about it. Deni's no longer there.The DIS is over. If they think they can keep a channel about Disneyworld going, when they don’t go to Disneyworld they are delusional. They may still get views on cruise and DVC, but the core audience was/is all about the parks. I know I quit watching when Pete quit going.
That thought have struck me too, about her constantly trying to fish getting invited to food reviews and hotels stays. Obviously Pete is not paying enough for her to afford anything in the parks.I appreciate that she does have dairy allergies for that perspective but even her reviews on those items are just meh a lot of the time. Just her lack of insight into anything is weird to me. She doesn’t have a niche really, she doesn’t have a purpose on the team. Her “I haven’t done this or that” seems to be fishing for Pete to pay for her to do stuff.
I actually like her. She’s new, young and I’m willing to give her a chance. I think she needs to continue to work on where she fits in on the podcast and bring more to the table. Apparently, her family has been DVC members since the 90s. That’s interesting and should mean she has a lot of experience at the resorts and parks. Bring that experience to the DVC show.Long-standing pet peeve of Pete's. He used to get Fiasco all the time for that, he just got Panda on the recent DVC show and I guess it was Craig's turn.

Does anyone here like her and if so why?
@Ghost of Bob Varley indeed! They used to send Steve Porter to the parks and his reporting was quite interesting, as he was also in the College Program. Even though Steve was not great on the dining reviews (he always ate Mac & Cheese), I appreciated the park content.This is what started the downturn of the show. Kevin and John stopped going to the parks. Pete doesn't go to the parks. Ryno can't deal with the parks anymore. Craig, still goes to the parks, but is now openly miserable about it. Deni's no longer there.
This is a show/forums/website built around going to the parks at Disney World and no one on the team goes to the parks.
Remember when they would do the live shows on Tuesday and a segment would be to go one of the team actually in the park for a report on what was going on that day. The technology never really worked that great. But how did you go from that to where we are now, where no one even goes to the parks they are supposed to be discussing.
@Southpaw33 me too!So since there seems to be many insiders here, anyone have the real scoop on Deni leaving for GKTW, but then starting her own channel?
I like Craig and hope he leaves, then I will probably stop watching completely except to see Pete do a scathing review of some place because I get a kick out of those.
yeah I am getting more and more confused why Deni Just couldn’t still freelance for the dis and appear on shows, and ALSO work at GKTW (especially since they’re supposedly such a closer partner to the dis & Pete) at the same time. Why did it need to be such a formal exit? She clearly has the time to do video content still and it seems like it would be nothing but a bonus to the dis …So since there seems to be many insiders here, anyone have the real scoop on Deni leaving for GKTW, but then starting her own channel?

IMHO, I would guess the GKTW is more stable &... Not run on whims like some places seem to be. Or she may have been 'called' to the job... Or maybe she realized she would get so burnt out on the parks & just wanted to more 'magical' side of working with families/for the village.yeah I am getting more and more confused why Deni Just couldn’t still freelance for the dis and appear on shows, and ALSO work at GKTW (especially since they’re supposedly such a closer partner to the dis & Pete) at the same time.
