I took my daughter to Paris last month - on our trip home to Manchester we got to CDG 4 hours before our 1 hour flight and only just made it. It’s a shambles at the minute.

Air con isn’t really a thing in Paris - we stayed onsite at Cheyenne and didn’t have air con just a ceiling fan. Our central Paris hotel didn’t have air con either. They will hate it! You do get the odd modern hotel with aircon but generally it’s not a thing. Not sure the other Disney hotels have it as I’ve not stayed in those (we are going back in September though staying at the Marvel hotel which is exciting!)
I fell for it because they replied directly to me
I’m guessing it was Jenn bored on the flight.
Oh my God, I can’t wait for this trash fest of them at Disneyland Paris. Not like they will experience Paris, but the two of them will probably get lost in the airport anyway and miss the shuttle, and God knows they wouldn’t be able to navigate the RER not to mention which one to get on which ticket to get and where to go get on it!
even with three hour layovers I have been stuck in that airport twice in my life. When we flew to the Olympics we connected in Paris and I paid a lot of money for us to be guided through the airport by the concierge and we still almost missed our flight. My husband didn’t quite believe me about how bad that airport was until he got to experience it and now understands why I call it one of Dante’s circles of hell.. I know I’ve told all these stories before but oh my God I can’t wait for how much they’re going to hate it. They’re going to hate the food, but maybe Ginn we like all the carts with the wine and champagne!

I’m thinking it was only for Dim. They probably sent an itinerary and didn’t want more people than necessary. If they did invite her, I’m guessing she wouldn’t have wanted to do some of the activities. Maybe she asked if she could stay at the resort while he went white water rafting, and they said no, so she figured dealing with the kids was better than getting her hair wet.
I could also see this trip as him needing time away from everything. She’s had a few chances to get away from the family, and I really think she’s the one pushing to film. He seems like he’s just trying to relax and decompress, and then she comes in with a list of things she wants to do that day. That might be why so many weekends end up as just homevlogs.
I agree about YouTube purging inactive accounts, or even automatically unsubscribing users if they haven’t watched a channel’s content in a while. Personally, once a quarter, I go through the channels I’m subscribed to and remove the ones I haven’t been watching.
Back when X was still Twitter, they did a major purge of fake accounts. Some “celebrities” lost about a third of their followers, and many claimed those were just troll accounts. It hasn’t been mentioned here in a while, but we’ve talked before about the Trackers potentially buying fake followers or views. I’d assume they’re not using Patreon money for that, though.
Losing subscribers like that would definitely affect how creators approach their content. That’s one reason I don’t like sites like Social Blade or Viewstats. They tend to focus on positive growth and project how long it will take for a creator to hit milestones like one million subscribers. That kind of focus can be misleading.
Creators shouldn’t treat a video topic that underperforms as something they should never cover again. The Trackers have done this with other local theme parks. Disney is clearly their main focus, and Universal only gets occasional coverage, but when was the last time they visited Legoland or SeaWorld? Places like Kennedy Space Center (NASA) might not generate a lot of views in the first 48 hours, but those videos can continue to gain views over time. They’re often discovered by people planning a trip who want a preview of what to expect.
I don’t have a direct example involving Dim, but Adam the Woo once made a video about the filming locations from National Lampoon’s Vacation. When it was released in 2017, it didn’t get many views, which frustrated him, given the time and travel he put into it. Now it has over a million views. He never really revisited the topic, but it continued to generate income over time.
We see monthly view counts posted here, and a significant portion comes from older videos. Because of that, the Trackers probably should look at what did good in the past and make a more thoughtful long-term strategy rather than just trying to see what sticks.
I'm thinking he really wants to do a road trip in an RV. Fly somewhere, get an RV & hit a different spot for a week. This would have been the perfect thing to do with Adam, but it sounded like Adam would have already had a few road trips planned with other people if he were still alive.
A problem Dim had was that he was friends with Adam but not anyone else in Adam's group. I had said a while back, Dim just needs to get with Justin Scarred & have him take him on a trip.
Happy late birthday! Hope you had a blast!
My dad and I went to France back in 2010 & they lost our luggage at CDG. We had to wait a full day for our suitcases to arrive! It sucked so bad.
Didn’t Justin just do or is in the process of doing an in-depth Route 66 vlog series?
(I don’t follow his channel, but did see the Route 66 vlogs pop up on my YT feed)
Tim said he wanted to cover this topic too.
Jenn had a Twitter feud with Justin years ago, so I don't think that will happen. Though I guess they did appear in the same room for Adam's funeral, so maybe they've mended their relationship since then.
So all the vloggers are going to Disneyland Paris at the same time?
I find it hard to believe they sent those welcome gift boxes out to over 300 people. They struggle and vlog about going to the UPS store to ship one prize gift.

I will never believe any of these vloggers were true friends with each other. Most are just phony or grifting relationships or at best emotional support therapy.
I don't follow Justin, but he also pops up in my feed. Looking at his channel, yes, he has done a few. He covered a couple of places, then drove back home. His son has been with him & I think he is the one editing the videos as they drive.
They did some of the places in Arizona back in March. I think some of that was his "Visionquest" & getting things for Adam's Celebration of Life event. Then, on May 9th, he started his current trip. The videos have been posted about 3 days apart & they are almost to Chicago. So, I would hope he's completed it & has been back home by now.
And yes, Dim wanted to do something related to Route 66 this year. That's why I think if Dim just asked Justin would do it. Dim would just have to ride along. Justin has been to these places a lot. He could give Dim a few notes & get in the car to drive to the next place. They can even go to the Grand Canyon. I'm just thinking this is something Dim wants to do & stay a few nights in an RV.
Hope y’all had fun in our fair city. Downtown has been a fun spot again with all the soccer stuff going on.I was away this weekend and I'm still catching up. I was a big girl and drove with my daughter to Atlanta on Friday. 7 1/2 hours in the car, one stop--Buc-ees. WNBA game, FIFA Fan Fest, Georgia Aquarium, Coca Cola World, College Football Hall of Fame...back in the car 6am Sunday morning. Tim could never and he travels for a living.
Seeing as it looks like they are traveling someone internationally with the late flight and this is probably the trip thatgot the passport for...what would have happened if Tim's mom didn't die? They must have had all this travel planned for a while now...California, Costa Rica, Texas, now wherever this trip is....were they really considering bailing on her for a month or so? And what about Grandpa...now that Grandma has died so we just not care about supporting him?
So Lex from Lost Bros is also in Paris posting about 30 years since Hunchback- is that what they're all there for???
Are the Vloggers being #hosted at Disneyland Paris for some sort of Pixar celebration event? I cannot find anything else happening in the near future there.
Hopefully Tim and Jenn have a paid chaperone to entertainer them through France.

Jenn would find a way to interfere.
Hope everyone had a nice Father’s Day & belated happy birthday @Quasimodo - hope the cats did something nice for you 
I see I didn’t miss much taking the weekend to be more present & be off my phone.
I wonder If they are dragging those poor kids to Paris too.

Gin holds grudges. So, maybe Dim isn't allowed to talk to him. I'm sure she would also want to go on this trip, but they need someone to do all the driving for them.
I guess we will see how much longer Dim can go. He's been "burning the candle at both ends" for a while & now has taken a blow torch to it. He can't last much longer.
I do think some of them were friends with Adam. We didn't see his reaction to his mom, but did see him upset about Adam. The problem with being friends with Adam was that Adam would try to help other vloggers get started. That may create some competition between vloggers. I don't think Adam's main group covered the theme park as much as Dim, but it's still other videos in the way, if someone is searching for a new event.
Ohh, I would bet on it. I got a feeling, so far these 3 long weeks & whatever else is planned are going to add up to her being gone for her birthday. She may just be in a hotel by herself for all of November. I hope she is like: "I have had it with these monkey-fighting Kids in my Monday-to-Friday life!" (Sorry, I always love the TV edit of that line from Snakes on a Plane.)
