I haven't watched any of their home stuff as they only interest me when they're doing resort tours or showing park construction updates etc.

However, over on Twitter there was drama over the weekend when it turned out a whole load of Disney parks fans have been Jen-blocked. Most of them have never interacted with her or even knew who she was! The theory was that they all follow someone she's fallen out with and they've been blocked by association.

Strange behaviour!

That poor child having a camera in his face 24/7, he's already perfected the WTF Dad look.

It's unbelievable how lazy they are. In the Trackee group they have, one of their stans made a similar logo to the one they have already with Bandit having a halo and Jackson in it. All they had to do was reach out to that person to ask for permission to use it and bam they're done. I imagine they like getting the comments about the logo because it's more comments that keep them on top of the algorithm. Along with the views and subscribers that they buy to keep themselves on top.

Odds are they wouldn't even really have to pay to use that guys art. They could most likely send the guy a couple of HOLY MACARONI and DING DANG t shirts and it would be a done deal.

I find it hilarious they have a nanny. Two parents who don't work full time jobs, one who hardly ever leaves the house, and they need a nanny? My eyes can't roll to the back of my head enough.

Do they actually have a nanny? Iv not paid enough attention tbh. But I do find it hard to imagine Jen coping while Tim's out at the parks.

Jim has a long-time history with the company. As an example, I recall when he was heavier and was with the popular cover band Mulch, Sweat, and Shears at HS (one of the other members of whom has / had a much longer history with the company having played with Panama then-known-as Blue Stone Circle at the Beach Club at Pleasure Island back in the late 90s and early 2000s). My point being - Jim has lots of connections.

I believe the Trackers are using them for freebies and connections. I'm sure Jim knows this. I used to be a CM myself (though 20+ years ago) and it's amazing how many people come out of the woodwork once they learn you work for Disney.

Nicole, on the other hand, seems to want to grow her online presence. Lots of people on Guru make fun of her; I don't have that much of an issue with her, her appearance, or what she says to ridicule her; but yes, I will agree, that she is very keen to grow her follower #s, likes, etc.

The interactions between the them and the Trackers always seems forced and uncomfortable to watch. Quite often, Jim looks like he'd rather be anywhere else but there - with the Trackers.

Krispysmores visited with Tim and Jenn in Nov or Dec before the whole pandemic started at their house and at the parks. It seemed really forced though like they were trying to prove they have friends because they always say oh we were hanging out with friends but they don't like to be on camera. So they hung out with them to get other people on their videos

No one lasts long on Tracker Island. After Krispysmore it was Nicole and Jim mainly because Jim is a CM. Haven't seen much of them after Jackson was born. Jim also didnt take Tim to the CM preview which looks like they don't really talk to each other anymore. Although that always seemed like Jenn and Nicole were friendly and Tim and Jim just tolerated each other. And I posted earlier on this thread that I think Jim hates Jenn.

Tbh it sounds like they haven't seen much of anyone since the virus hit, it's like they have become scared of everyone

Sorry - I thought I edited the place they stayed at in my last post.

This was it - 6 bdrm up to $1,600+ / night (which at the time, I'm 99.9% sure I saw the quote at $4,000/wk for whatever time I initially looked it up when they were there)

Security Challenge

It's Home Hurricane/Tropical Storm Vlog time!

Time for Tim to safety proof the yard and surroundings because of the impending wind!

They give Jack$on some new snack. Tim proclaims he doesn't know how to grab the food properly, then 1 second later Jenn tells Tim he's wrong. This then turns into Tim shoving the snack into Jack$on's mouth.

Tim with a fun fact, if you don't have anywhere to hide your lawn furniture during a hurricane you can just sink it into the pool.

Weatherman Tim explains how before a TS/Hurricane all the moisture disappears and is absorbed by the storm.

Tim bought a cookie cake, after they spent all that $$$$ on a Pro-Series Kitchenaid Mixer to make homemade cookies.

They show off one of the rooms near the bottom of the stairs, and it's a mess.I don't understand how 2 people who don't have 9-5 jobs, and are home the majority of the time, can't find a hour here or there to clean up their surroundings.

Jenn tells us what food Jack$on likes, it's more than what Timbo eats as an adult.

We get a scripted father/son interaction where Tim is reading to Jack$on.

Then we get a LOST-esque flash forward and somehow it's Monday (Today) and they need to shove Jack$on in front of the camera again because money.

Thoughts on Petey's recap - great as always -


OMG.

I had no idea they just posted their vlog on Isaias when I was writing my comment above.

I rest my case!!!

BTW, we got nothing yesterday. Nothing today. I'm in Seminole which initially was under a Tropical Storm warning. There were people in my community pool all day yesterday and all day so far today - it's sunny and 5,000 degrees out right now.

A few comments -

1. why is the stroller always in the house for two people so obsessed with COVID and sanitization?
2. here's an idea aka fun fact, Tim. You have a 2-car garage; you have 1 car. Why not put pool furniture in the garage?
3. their house is always a mess; it boggles my mind

I briefly scanned it. Did he, indeed, only show one good burst of rain on camera? On Sat., I was in Sanibel and Captiva Islands and it rained for like 10 mins. in the afternoon harder than what he showed on camera. And it was just a typical afternoon thunderstorm. On the other side of the state.

These two w/ their drama........ always....

 

[2020planner]

weird. still there for me. 9th one down now. few new ones added

I found it! D'oh! I was looking at the wrong video!

Yep! Still there!

I "liked" it too, though not sure if it counts because I was blocked after I previously interacted with the Grand Stan Tiffany Ann.

 

[Mco_man]

Tim complained the Frozen line was ridiculously long at 30 minutes, but then thinks the Mickey Runaway Railway ride at 70 minutes isn't "that long".

This makes perfect sense to me. Frozen Ever After is an attraction that has been open for a long time. It regularly has lines that are less than 30 minutes so when Tim said it was long he probably meant in comparison to usual. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway however is a brand new attraction that before the shutdown was averaging in excess of 100 minutes most days. So 70 minutes for that or Rise of the Resistance (if they weren’t using virtual) is pretty good.
As for “demanding” to ride the front I’m pretty sure he didn’t. He just asked like anybody can.

 

[peteykirch]

Supposedly Tim worked at the Orlando Science Center. This was disclosed by someone a loooooong time ago on Guru, I believe, who had stated he previously worked with Tim and he was an OK guy to be around (at the time) but Jenn was basically [still] a bitch. Now, if Tim worked in the education department or something with regard to disabled children, I'm not sure. But the going thought was it was at the Science Center. (this would also explain a handful of vlogs at the OSC years' back and his major interest in them)



Yep. I used to have a P.O. Box. You pay for it. I believe I paid for like a 6-month thing and then they'll put a notice in your box when you have to renew. I'm sure there's variations of payment options, i.e. monthly, 6 months, 1 year, etc.

There is ZERO excuse for them not opening the mail in a timely manner (and they closed it way before Jackson was ever conceived).

Tim left his "real" job years and years ago. Jenn just sits on her butt all day "editing" and watching reality TV. If she ends up at the parks with Tim (pre-Jackson), that'd be a day out for her; likewise for Target days, etc. They're simply lazy and only do the minimum and / or only do something if the big dogs come calling (i.e. Disney). You do what you WANT to do, and they just couldn't be bothered with opening it all up.

Tim specifically said in an old vlog that Jenn didn't need to work or drive and that he was her husband and he'd "take care of her." So he's got that dominance thing over her (this was even before he quit the "real" job) where he probably helped to nurture those anxieties in her (real or imagined) and further set her on a path of having to rely on him for everything.

They both are manipulative in their own way. For someone who's watched them for years and years, it's painfully obvious though they hide it well and seemingly none of the stans have picked up on it. There's been so many instances when she's put him down, made fun of him, overtook a conversation, told him he was wrong, manhandled his ideas, etc. But then he seems to have the upper hand in basically controlling when and where and how she goes anywhere.

Really strange and not a healthy relationship.

Remember that it took them to either the end of Feb or the beginning of March to take down their sad looking Christmas tree? They also left their Halloween Pumpkins out until after November into December.

The are the epitome of lazy, and just do the bare minimum to get by. They both lucked out being at the right place at the right time with regards to their vlogging. Now the market is so oversaturated, but since the Trackers were there first, the algorithms are strongly in their favor.

 

[YouKnowSoFlo]

I forgot which vlog it was last week, but Timbo went on and on about how Disney doesn't like when people go to resorts to skip out on paying for theme park parking. Only if Timbo scrubbed his videos from the years before where him and Jenn would routinely go to the Epcot resorts, lie about having a meal there and then walk right over to Epcot.

It's hilarious how Tim pretends that he never broke the rules that Disney tries to enforce.

Yes. There are a ton of old videos that include them bragging about how they scam the system. Or them bragging about how they go full-on Karen mode & just complain until they would get free parking, etc.

If I was trying to build a brand, I would have scrubbed all that junk. But Timothy is too lazy. If you can't take the time to scrub your racist videos, you certainly aren't going to scrub the ones of you breaking the rules.

But at least it makes for good Florida Resident Edits vlogs .

 

[HitchhikingGhost]

Wasn't there that thing a while ago where Tim said park security don't like people stopping to meet him or something? I wondered if they could really stop that or whether he just wanted a break

 

[2020planner]

A media event day makes no sense for a reopening though, people want to know if rules are actually being enforced, if its safe for them to go back, a media even is all grand for ride revels and the like, but not for this. If you say you aren't going to go because you are afraid of getting sick, then just don't go, it's really that simple.
Although Tim still went to the parks that didn't have media days, so it still doesn't make any sense.

Very true. Their hypocrisy on that particular subject matter just shows that they said one thing in the vlog, but then Disney calls and says "jump" and Tim asks "how high."

I think he went to Universal on Annual Passholder preview days. And SeaWorld and Busch Gardens just on random days after reopening.

So, at least for Disney Springs (media) and Universal (AP), the "stans" could argue he was being "safer" by going on those days. I swear, he and Jenn obviously seem to be able to do or say anything these days and they'll be defended by their little brainwashed army.

 

[SheDaisy]

Tim is 100% downplaying the mask discomfort just to get in the good graces of Disney/Universal.

I'm sorry, but 90 degree weather with high humidity, any mask regardless of it's material is going to make you warmer than not wearing a mask.

Also Tim is very confused as he's trying to remember where the things were at Universal.

Yeah. I don't plan on going anywhere that I have to wear a mask. Now the CDC is saying that you shouldn't wear one. Then they tell you that you should. They have no idea.

90 weather is going to make everyone miserable.

 

[MamaBear2000]

does he mean the Fantasia Fairways are closed because they are open to the general public. Just watched Cory Meets World live stream from there this past Thursday with Josh and Dale from Resort TV 1

Yup! And someone called him out on it, so he googled that too!

Exactly. they don't realize that there are ways to stay deluxe and not pay the deluxe prices. Especially right now. There are some sites that have DVC rentals going for crazy low prices. I'm going at the end of the month and staying at the Boardwalk for 6 nights and paid $675. For the whole trip. I'm also a DVC member, but don't want to use next years points yet.

Basically they are doing it all wrong. LOL!! Which they would know if they were true Disney fans....

They probably wouldn't trust renting points from someone. They would have saved a ton for sure with that rental. I just spent 15 days there this past month, all at DVC for $10 a point. So easy!

 

[KINGAA]

It would be hilarious if Jenn was so oblivious to way sexual relations work that Tim was pulling out every single time so she thought she was unable to have kids.

With regards to the maternity dresses, I think the more likely answer is that Jenn likes to wear frumpy, easy to move in clothing (I know this is hypocritical because for the longest time she only wore those painted on daisy dukes that rode all the way up) I can just see her wanting to be comfortable, and thinking they look good on her. I dunno though.

I read a story once of a couple went to a doctor as they weren’t getting pregnant, turned out they were in the “exit zone”. The woman was still a Virgin. Hahahaha!

 

[RebelUtd]

Looks like their halos have slipped, racism and homophobia a plenty - let's see them wriggle out of this one.

 

[AnastasiaB]

Yes I still think Jen has two sides, but where’s the evidence of Tim’s current problematic behavior?

Just because he’s not *currently* displaying problematic behaviour doesn’t mean he is innocent. Why does it have to be current? The fact still stands that they didn’t acknowledge the behaviour until pushed and there was a possibility of the parks finding out and he was still old enough to know better at the time of the incidents in question.

In the clips of the so called “urban” party, he is the vocal one, saying he looks like a “drug dealer” amongst other comments I won’t repeat but are online if you so desire.

That’s also ignoring the fact he is guilty by association - he’s allowed her to say these things and not pulled her up for it. If my partner was being a racist/ableist/homophobe in person or online, I would be calling them out on it. No, it doesn’t mean he is currently making problematic comments, but he’s equally guilty for allowing it to happen.

 

[YouKnowSoFlo]

I've been watching the Tracker's videos since 2014. They were the first Orlando/Disney based vloggers I came across and with the following they had even then, I just assumed they were the "best" and most knowledgeable on the parks in the Orlando area. But over the years, I've come across and started watching many other Orlando/Disney based vloggers and every. single. one is far more knowledgeable and just...more fans of Disney etc than the Trackers are and it becomes more obvious how much they don't know or care. I was disillusioned by them, because they were the first I came across, and I just assumed they were the top tier Orlando vloggers, when in fact.... yes, they have the high number in followers but they're really bottom their when it comes to well.... everything else.

Their video uploaded on Monday from MK was just so dull. Compared to every other vlogger I watch, Tim did nothing in the park. He won't ride indoor rides, but then complained about it raining and how he couldn't ride any outdoor rides becauase of the rain, but yet went into the cave on Tom Sawyer Island and... ????? If you're going to have such strict rules when it comes to this pandemic (which is fine for him to have) then why go the parks at all? I get that he's doing it for views because I guess their home vlogs are boring AF, but you might as well just go the full haul and ride everything - indoors or outdoors and eat in the damn parks. Really Tim, just being in the park you're more at risk, so taking the "precautions" to not ride anything indoors or eat in the parks is just idiotic when you've gone as far you have. You're not any safer.

As for Jenn, I always felt watching their vlogs over the years that I could relate to her. She's around my age (a few years older), she also lost her mom to cancer, she suffers from anxiety that partially stops her from living a normal daily life... but I've again, been disillusioned. I have severe anxiety that prevents me from driving (I'm in my 30s and have never learned, it's that bad), so hearing that Jenn was the same, made me feel less alone and stupid about it (I've lost out on getting promotions at my work for not being able to drive), but now I feel it's all a front and an attention seeking thing with her? I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't judge this too harshly because you never truly know how someone else is feeling, but from reading this thread, I just don't think her anxiety is as bad as she claims it to be. Also, her claiming that she couldn't have kids - I honestly thought they had been to doctors and been told this and I felt so bad for them - but turns out she just self diagnosed them as being unable to have kids as they got pregnant naturally in their mid/late 30s???? lol okay, Jenn. I guess the anxiety is self diagnosed too?

I stopped watching them regularly over a year ago and now just watch the odd video to see what's going on, really only if it's a park video. Haven't watched a single home vlog in that time. Couldn't care less about their baby. I sent them mail in 2017, which I now realise they would have left sitting for three years, going by that recent live mail vlog. Which I never watched, so no idea if they even opened the mail. Don't care to know.

To sum it up, literally every single Disney/Orlando based vlogger, new or old, are better than the Trackers on the subject and they don't deserve the following they have.

Couldn't agree more. I watched the Trackers for years & I was always suspect of Jenn's diagnosis, but didn't want to judge.

I don't have any issues with anxiety, but a close family member does to the point that they can't drive, etc. Once had a full blown panic attack set off by the lighting in a movie (as in the way the scene was shot), & I had to sit with them in a dark corner of the hallway until it passed. When Jenn had her "Target's light gave me panic attacks." It totally made me side eye. I know everyone is different, but if my family member had chose to vlog right after a panic attack, you would be able to tell they were visibly shaken/had been crying. Not this, "OMG you guys, so like, the lights in Target totally mess with my anxiety." But it's still her favorite store ever & they go there for every date night.

 

[Tavi Huit]

I really disliked Jenn shoving the camera in Jackson's face when he was in the cot/crib- she couldn't help him to roll over as she was holding the camera- priorities right?
