Are people not fans of the Tim Tracker?

[Disneyfan754321]

I agree with a lot of you. The trackers had YouTube channel that I could watch with a 8 and 12 year old and we would enjoy together....
Adding Jackson to the daily mix was not a smart business decision. I dont mind throwing in occasional videos on park content that includes toddlers/ young children like how to child swap etc. But we have no interest on 50 videos on staycations and Jackson home vlogs.
We have started watching Kyle Pallo he has daily park videos ( except lately it's hard to get into disney)

Unfortunately their content doesn't fit with us anymore. I'm sure many people will get info and enjoyment out of their "family" vlogs but for us it's not something we're interested in. But they still have their audience and as the number of vloggers grow year on year there is something for everyone out there.

I think all vloggers have to renew themselves from time to time to stay relevant. However if you are focused on one themepark at a certain point in time, you have shown everything general and then you have to make a decision to focus on food, or family, as the rides stay the same. You are not likely to find something new in the ride. You will still enjoy it, tell the viewer that you enjoyed it, but you can't keep repeating yourself why you find a certain ride enjoyable.

And with the home vlogs. That's just a leftover from the pandemic. When this is fully gone, these vlogs might stay if it shows that enough people like to watch them. When viewer rates decline, they will start looking for something else.

They were doing home vlogs before the pandemic. I doubt they will get rid of them.

The funny part is if they needed new ideas all they needed to do is join Disboards.
People ask the same questions over and over....
Make a video on those.

They probably have the same policy as the DIS, we are not allowed to discuss or quote from certain websites on here, out of fear that we will discover there are other / better sources out there and then leave.

A platform is only as strong as their viewer base. Loss of viewers is loss of income.

They've had live shows answering fans questions (last spring when they were quarantining at home) about Disney and Tim didn't know the answers to most of them. Jenn was the more knowledgeable one which was interesting.

I just love the Trackers. Warm, positive, goes to other areas of Florida, and on top of changes in the parks.
Jackson is a major part of their lives, as any child is.

One thing unique is that they don't ask for $$$ from viewers. I understand vloggers who do.

I will also add Kyle Pallo to my list. I had watched him awhile ago, but forgot the name of the channel.

Wow didn't realize this thread was still going.

They probably wouldn't want to join the DISboards but I do see what you're saying. I think they have done some of that stuff here and there in the past but may in an offhanded way instead of an episode(s) dedicated to it.

The only thing I noticed is that the DIS recycled a lot of their stuff. What I mean by that is they would revisit the same 'top 5' over time which was nice but sometimes you can only talk about things so much.

Disney changes a lot too so what works 6 months ago may not be the same, a tip or trick may be different later on.

What would be nice is some basics to go over like they should talk to family or friends who don't go to the parks much and compare their experience with theirs being regulars. I would find that really useful and interesting. People who go often usually have a different way of doing Disney because they know they are getting back there. The only thing they would have to keep in mind is making sure they disclaimer their videos that things change and maybe they would want to go back and add a disclaimer if they made a video that now contains outdated content if it was a video on 'how to do Disney' or something like that.

I've been watching his videos far less now since the pandemic started, because there's been a lot less park related stuff on the channel. I tend to not enjoy watching people whose full time job is making youtube videos because in the end they all end up being kind of the same with the same daily routine, with the same sponsorships etc etc. However, I've not had this problem as much with most of the Orlando based vloggers I follow, because I like Orlando/theme park content which sets them apart a little bit from regular full time vloggers.

But since the pandemic they've been doing too many home vlogs making them be too much of the kind of vloggers I don't enjoy watching. Plus I don't like vloggers including their children in the vlogs too much. It always makes me feel uneasy, knowing they're making money (partly) off their children who have no say in it. But that's just me.

 

[nancipants]

I started watching last year mostly because of Jackson. Our son was born two weeks after him. For a long time, Jackson was the only other baby he saw, thanks to Covid. Now I get sad when Jackson isn’t in videos. my son gets excited when Jackson comes on, lol.

 

[nancipants]

Jackson has done a few things for the "first" time recently, a second time. They obviously forgot that he had already had that "first time". I am over them and the exploitation of that poor child. All they do is eat (and eat and eat and eat) and go on "vacation" now, 10 minutes from home. I will never believe or feel it's OK to drag a little one around like that. It simply isn't good for him to be in different beds so often and to be out in the theme parks on almost a daily basis. He is 18 months old and still can't even feed himself and doesn't have a single real word in his vocabulary.

not trying to defend or be a “stan,” but Jackson feeds himself better than my almost 18 month old does, and says more words as well. In fact, my kid started saying “what’s this?” because he was copying Jackson.

 

[Tink-osophy]

I like the Trackers. As KittyKitty said above, they're warm, positive, upbeat, light-hearted.

What would be nice is some basics to go over like they should talk to family or friends who don't go to the parks much and compare their experience with theirs being regulars. I would find that really useful and interesting. People who go often usually have a different way of doing Disney because they know they are getting back there.

I think this is a good idea, too. When you do something a lot, you can end up in a groove (a very nice groove, here) and it can always help to get different perspectives and create fresh approaches.

Our ideas of raising kids is very different. I really don't see how sitting in a stroller all day in the blazing sun of Florida and hopping from one hotel to another is a great life for anyone. Really think about that. You think that is a "great" life for a little kid? When does it stop? Will Jenn and Tim stop all of this when it's time for him to go to school in a few years? It will be interesting to see how that goes! And he can't/isn't allowed, to even feed himself, so no he isn't doing "great" developmentally. Not saying he isn't a smart little guy, because he is, but at some point, this weird parenting of theirs IS going to cause him some sort of harm. Sorry, I find it sad! I think he needs routine and some stability. His mother can't even ride in the front seat away from him, in the car, without crying about it.

Obviously you don't watch. They are wonderful parents to that little boy. He does eat by himself with a fork, I have seen him several times doing it. They have a portable air conditioner they put in his stroller and a fan.
That child has a great little life, he is loved and well taken care of. You knock parents who take their child out on in the fresh air daily and bring him on wonderful little trips, where he sleeps IN HIS OWN pack and play.
He has two parents giving him all kinds of attention and love.
So what if she rides in the back with him, how, why is that an issue?
You should put your energy into helping children who are truly underserved in this world, Jackson is not one of them.

 

[lorimay]

Anyone interested, they released a great video today from Disney Vero Beach.
They have a beautiful three bedroom cottage.
It really makes me want to take a trip there.

 

[jlmarr]

We were lukewarm on the Tim T until Jackson came along. (We are "between grandkids".) But now that we're watching more frequently I appreciate the thorough coverage they do of the topic du jour, for instance the Vero Beach stay that was just posted today. (First day of their stay, that is.)

Yeah, this. Their parenting isn’t weird at all. Their job may be, but I find their parenting on the lighter side of attachment parenting. Jackson has been sleeping in his own room for a long time. There have been lots of vlogs where Tim is at the parks by himself. As for Jenn sitting with him in the back, they started having her sit in the front recently. I don’t think it’s weird though - some babies and toddlers HATE the car, especially rear facing, so if it helps him not scream, more power to them. I’ve sat in the back with my kid when it’s late and he’s super cranky, or we’re on a long trip. As far as stability and routine, they often comment on Jackson’s naptime and bedtime. They’re not keeping him out all day and night like parents do on vacation. Getting him out of the house is good. As a mom with an 18 month old pandemic baby, trust me.

I noticed that Adam the Woo is making mostly WDW videos now. He sure has changed. And no kids for those who prefer that.

 

[Jennasis]

I do miss my UK vloggers. Looking forward to when those folks can get back across the pond for a visit.

Today's TT Vero Beach vlog was delightful.

 

[Dentam]

I really enjoyed the road trip vlogs he just did with his dad revisiting all of the locations they lived while Adam was growing up! I enjoy his WDW content as well.

It's been raining here for the past two days, so I've been watching more YouTube than I normally do. I have to say that I enjoyed the Vero Beach vlog the Trackers just put out. I do enjoy their Disney staycations also since they stay in places I've never stayed before. I'm not as interested in the other non-Disney places they stay in FL though.

Paging Mr. Morrow is still my favorite of the bunch - funny, sincere, joyful - I hope he never changes!
