Long time lurker first time poster on this thread , only discovered it a couple of days ago! Had a read of the description on the video... is this just code for “thanks for the free meal” ?

That's really crappy of them if they were comped for the meal and made no reference to it during the entire vlog.
They have definitely done that in the past. They barely remember to say oh by the way we got these tickets free or we got this meal free so thanks to so and so for the comp. They want to make it seem that they're paying for everything.
I also like how they got a chopped salad but would always get the Caeser salad when Jenn was pregnant because the raw egg in their was so good for Jackson and now they got a different salad now that she's no longer pregnant. Way to stay safe Trackers!
So they can't let Jackson touch the plush, because COVID could be on it, but the Napkin they put over his face many times was of course never near another human!
Shocked they let him eat that baby food!!
I’m unsure of the way influencers have to disclose things like that in the us, here in the uk everything has to be very obviously marked as #ad #gifted etc , maybe it’s not the same in the states?
In the US it's only a moral obligation, and since the Slackers have no morals they really don't see the need.
Well today’s vlog was surprising !
Jenn (with as previously mentioned with clean hair), and “ the little buddy”, actually venture out into public!
They are actually eating in public with one another party ( cue the psycho music), within a 1 mile radius and do not seem to be concerned that those ceilings fans could be circulating the same air that said other party are breathing!
Well, there you go!

I’m not really one to criticize people’s looks, especially since I’m no hunk of the month, but the comments saying that Jenn is so pretty really make me gag. So, she finally showered, washed her hair, and put something other than an oversized t-shirt. It’s nothing to throw a parade about. Plus, quite a few people have mentioned she’s “glowing” and speculating she might be pregnant again. Further proof she was lying about her infertility, perhaps?
Oh man if Jenn got knocked up again, they would be screwed. They struggle enough with just Jackson, throw in another kid get prepared for home vlogs 350+ days a year.
I thought they had to at least #ad on posts? Or maybe that is just Instagram? I have a friend who has a large enough following to be gifted things, etc & I thought she stated it has to be mentioned in the caption & in the video as well (if it's IGTV) to be legal?
But I digress....back to Timothy & Jennifer. Why would you NOT mention it? Sweet Jesus, no one is gonna flinch if an influencer gets something for free. They have officially proven that their convictions stop when it comes to a free meal. These are the same people who wouldn't even order take out. We've come a long way from "you won't find that kind of content here".

Anyone else like the tone deafness of doing a plug for an org that provides meals for hungry children after they ate like snobs at the Waldorf? I know it was comped, but seems stupid to talk about escargot and filet and then ask their viewers to donate $40 to provide over 100 meals to needy kids.
If it was comp'd in exchange for promoting the pop up on their channel per whatever relationship Trackers have with the Waldorf, it would be in good practice to inform the viewers forthright on camera that the meal was comp'd rather than simply offer a generalized (and possibly overlooked and / or possibly ambiguous, to those who may not know) "thanks for the invitation" in the description.
They've been known to do this in the past. Including, as an example, filming an entire handful of vlogs of a vacation in the Keys - *never* disclosing that it was actually paid for by the Keys CVB. (Someone on guru discovered that they were named - by their real name - in meeting minutes of a Keys' public meeting as having been comp'd.)
I do find it interesting that the two of them (with baby) drop everything - including their feelings about going out in public right now, eating in public, etc. - when the Waldorf calls with a free meal (similar to "You won't find that kind of opening content on our channel" which turned into "Disney called; I'm here for a preview of DS opening").
Seems like when certain entities (i.e. Disney, Waldorf) tell Tim to jump, he asks how high.

I think they dont mention when they're comped stuff is because they want to make it seem like they are everyday people and do stuff that everyone can afford. Like they used to be before they sold out. Course that went out the door when they moved in to a 450k house in a gated community and couldn't pass up an weird $2000 Gucci sweater that he probably wore twice.
Very true. They really started to change once they started to get lots of #hosted Disney stuff (like 2-3 years ago now? shortly before they moved to the new house in August 2018; then later disclosed they moved to the new house in Dec 2018)
I think something as simple as what bloggers / vloggers usually say akin to "This post / vlog was sponsored by / featured / invited out by XYZ company, but as always, opinions are ours. Thanks, XYZ company!" at the start should be standard practice for them at this point.
But, you're right. They so frequently (more often than not) are ambiguous about these comp'd or #hosted things, as if to give the impression they're [still] just like their average viewer which, clearly, they've moved beyond at this point $$$-wise and lifestyle-wise. If someone didn't read the lengthy descrip of the video (like I imagine so many people do not), they'd likely just get the impression the three of them went out on their own per an email they got from Waldorf (i.e. promotional), and paid with their own money for a *special* socially distanced dinner where Waldorf just happened to give them a gift plush peacock.
Also - I also love how @:13 Tim said they really didn't do anything for Father's Day or Mother's Day (uh, yeah you did. You exchanged gifts and had a nice meal like so many other families do without fanfare) and then Jenn chimes in "well, we did, we celebrated at home but didn't, like, normally we would go out and do something fun."
Correct me if I'm wrong. But wasn't this their FIRST Father's Day and Mother's Day? So how could there be a "normally"? I just can't sometimes w/ her / them and their choice of words.
Yeah, it's nitpicking but it's just so typical of them to complain, create drama, compare something to something else to justify content, etc.

What are the odds they bought the stuffed peacock themselves and pretended it was a free gift from the Waldorf, like they did at the Tea Room Vlog where they claimed the Waldorf gave them a bunch of free gifts, when in reality all they did was maybe leave a card on the table, and small table decorations?
RE: the ridiculous hot dog search. I loved this comment under the Universal HHN vlog (which he felt OK to go in the tribute store but won't go in World of Disney?!?).
Just goes to show all the hot dog searching was for content and not for real.

Curious to know how fussy you are going to be in the search of this elusive hot dog ?? You spent the whole of the last Disney video searching for one then similar food 'search' in Universal, to then find not one, but two places in Citywalk that serve them to than [sic] have...nothing

Yeah, I thought of that. Wasn't that the day with Sparky Nicole? Where Jenn pulled out an outfit still on its hanger, and a few other toys? And looked and sounded awkward while expressing her happiness over the "surprise" gift and "thanking" the Waldorf for it? I think that was one of their many "babymoons" they took too, right?
You can always tell when it's a comped trip as they will be falling over themselves to say good things about it and rant about it. When they're paying themselves they're more honest. They didnt rate the California Grill brunch when they paid for it yet it's a fantastic experience and well worth it if you can get a reservation
The California Grill brunch is hands down one of the best dining experiences on Disney Property. My Fiance and I did it a couple years ago and we still rave about how good it was. The only downside is I don't drink, so it's kind of pricey that unlimited mimosas are built into the price and I wouldn't be having any. One funny thing about it, looking back now in the Covid-19 world was I was waiting on the buffet line at the counter of the California Grill and the person ahead of me was having trouble with the tongs to get some house made pickles from the charcuterie section so they stuck their entire hand into the jar to pull out what they wanted. Luckily one of the cooks saw this and took the jar off the line, threw everything out and brought out a new container. I get back to the table and tell my Fiance about it, and she's like "Was it a little kid or something?" and I'm like "Nope, it was that guy" I pointed to the guy who had to be 80+. One more thing about it, since they have live musicians there they took requests, it was a bit odd hearing a piano and cello version of Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana on Disney property. It was great, but I totally wasn't expecting to hear that song at a $90 per person brunch.
Thinking the same thing. You can't have a normal tradition for a day you didn't celebrate with each other before this year. I know they aren't talking about celebrating it with Tim's family...as Jenn has made it obvious how she feels about her MIL.Very true. They really started to change once they started to get lots of #hosted Disney stuff (like 2-3 years ago now? shortly before they moved to the new house in August 2018; then later disclosed they moved to the new house in Dec 2018)
