Pick three parks. Video?

[BostonEd]

Hi. My family is doing three park days this coming April. I've currently got MK, AK, and HS reserved. But I'm not sure if the family will want those. Is there a good, current "state of the parks" video we could watch to help decide which ones to go to?

[Edited to keep to one topic.]

They are a little old, but do a YouTube search for Allears Perfect Day. The only thing that would be missing is Guardians at Epcot. Her new channel, Mammoth Club is also worth a watch, but she hasn’t done full park videos since the new channel. For the best G+ Videos in which he gets lightning lanes for all rides in each of the parks, go to the Earscouts channel. These videos will give you an idea of just rides.

Those all sound good. Um, the first "perfect day" video I clicked on was over an hour.

What I'm looking for (if it exists!) is a 10-20 minute video which gives an overview of all four parks. Or separate 5 minute-or-so videos of each park separately. Think of the old planning DVDs that Disney used to send out. Something simply along those lines.

I actually did go to the "Disney Parks" YouTube channel thinking that if they're not sending out DVDs, they're putting out a similar "product" there. I couldn't find them though.

I don’t know of any “overview only” videos. YouTube content creators make their money based on a fan base for their info and personality. Making a short overview doesn’t make sense for them as longer videos have more ad breaks (how they get paid).

Your best bet is just fast forwarding and skimming through a few until you get an idea of everything new you might be interested in.

I am sure that this is true, and so I wouldn't necessarily expect the type of video I'm looking for from a "content creator". But I question if an over-hour-long video makes sense for anyone. I would think they would make more money by offering shorter videos. But I digress. :O)

I searched for the type of video I'd like on the Disney Parks YouTube channel. Does anyone have any good search terms I should use? I tried "planning video" and got nothing.

(Also, I basically asked two questions in my original post. I've cut the additional question out and am posting it separately.)

Bumping this up in case there is someone who might know of a good summary video, but hasn't seen this thread yet.

So there's a few videos I've seen/found but they may be dated or not exactly what you want.

Not a video but might be helpful as it lists attractions and highlights at each of the parks.

For more recent, first hand park viewer experiences, you can also search these YTs- All Ears, Mammoth Club, Tim Tracker, PC Dev, DFB Guide.

Thanks Belle. Disney Parks Addict also produces a series of ~10-minute videos, one for each park, which was pretty much what I was looking for. And it appears he updates them every year, which is great.
