VLOGGERS?

[kimmar067]

I saw you on Resort TV1!

I saw you too and thought that you looked great!

....thanks - I appreciate that...however, my mirror begs to differ....

Clearly a defective mirror.

Clearly a defective mirror.

...and that's AFTER I've had my first cup of coffee.

I've met one vlogging couple. I watch a ton. I've also seen a ton in Disney and various other locations.

I find the vloggers way less troublesome and annoying than the average home movie tourist types. At least the pros know what they are doing, do it quickly and efficiently, and don't go all entitled because there are people in the background of the family's castle picture or hold up an ipad up to capture the entire fireworks show.

Making money off of ad revenue is a part of vlogging and I'm fine with that.

Saw Brayden of Mickey Views while waiting (for over an hour) on the Pirates of the Caribbean line about two months ago. He had to wait just like the rest of us. Afterwards I saw him again and told him I really like his videos. He was really nice and appreciative.

The only one I have had an issue with (and do not subscribe to) is a live-streamer who intentionally got up close to a wedding party and was filming them and commenting on it all for her live audience. Super intrusive and rude in my opinion and others commented about it as well on her stream. She defended it by saying if they are having a wedding in a park then that comes with the territory. She is obnoxious.

I've met Nate (Paging Mr. Morrow) in the parks and love him. He is super considerate as are the majority of the Disney vloggers I follow. I love getting my Disney fix by watching them after a long day of work.

This is interesting since my general reaction/response to this question is that the vloggers I watch regularly are great, respectful, do all they can to minimize including others in their shots so I'm pretty ok with it. That said, I'm sure there are plenty of them I don't know about who may behave differently and then I'd have a different point-of-view about it. Of course that would probably mean they have a much lower viewership, too, so it's a tough call.

"Hello Friends"

I'm just wondering how you all feel about the influx of "vloggers" lately in the parks and restaurants. Do you mind being captured in their videos? Does it disturb your dining? Just curious.....

No. Most of the time they have the camera on themselves when dining. Its no different than being in someone's video camera shot, which has been going on for decades now. Those could be posted to YouTube, or a variety of other sites. Its a public place, you are going to be in other people's photos and videos. As long as they are not being obnoxious about it, which the VAST majority are not, its fine.

I watch quite a few of them and they are fun.

My 12 year-old daughter watches several and likes to make a game of finding them in the parks. The first night HEA came back, we saw her favorite (Kyle) at MK and she was so excited....until the trip over the sidewalk and it was shown live on his VLOG!!

I'm a vlogger in another niche and I do food reviews. It's easy to film a video and not be any louder than normal table conversation. Trust me my wife is so shy if she thought I was causing a scene she would leave ASAP!! I do get some stares, but I think it's mainly because I'm talking to a camera as I eat.

While I enjoy watching Disney Vloggers, if I were a "normal" once in a lifetime guest with no idea of the Disney Sub Culture and saw someone holding up walkways and lines filming I would be super annoyed. Even as a Disney enthusiast if I had someone live streaming me in line like someone here mentioned I would have a big problem with that. Being in a random background shot no big deal though.

Out of all my days in the parks, I've only seen 3 Vloggers, 2 I hardly watch and none of them were filming. I saw someone from Touring Plans in World Showcase, I saw Deni in the Land Pavilion right after she started with The DIS. At the time we didn't know much about her so didn't introduce ourselves, but now she has become one of our favorites and we wish we would have. On our last trip we saw JoJo entering Hollywood Studios, but we had just seen 1 or 2 of his videos before.

We don't watch The Trackers much anymore because their overall lack of Disney Knowledge drives me crazy. What sucks is we found them as Disney Newbies and looked to them for guidance. We didn't know any better until after our trip.

The best way I've heard the Trackers described is a family vlog channel who happens to live in Orlando. I love their videos, but I don't watch them for Disney news, just the entertainment.

Most of of the 'Disney' vloggers I watch are either regular vloggers that go to Disney, or regular Disney tourists that just happen to vlog about their trips and want to build community with other Disney fans.

The Trackers, Jen Lefforge, The Leffersons, Being Mommy with Style, Krispysmore, Seeyareelsoon are a few I find myself rewatching just for enjoyment. I do follow a couple of DCP kids, just for fun. I think the only professional Disney vlogger I follow is Pixie Dust and Parenting. She does travel planning but I actually follow her because I like her, I don't use travel agents.

I actually dislike a few of the vloggers mentioned in this thread, who vlog as experts or Disney specalist. I don't want to join their memeberships, I don't like the fake "Cruise Director Julie' voice work and honestly I dont need a guide.

But some people do so it's great that there are different channels for different people.

Actually Nate is pretty respectful in quieter restaurants. He seems to be aware of other guests experiences. He may be louder in the park but I would expect that.
I don't expect church whispers in loud bars or during large media events.
Time and place.

Loud is also relative. Keep in mind that most of the experienced vloggers have a microphone very close to their mouth. Sound would be poor otherwise, especially with wind and rain.

I found resort TV 1 and Cory meets world by accident when the parks first reopened last year. It made me feel better to see what to expect for our first trip back. We now watch them both for a little bit on Thursday and Friday nights. We have met Cory and Josh. They were respectful and very nice. They are the only two have ever got into watching.

I think people way overthink vloggers. Does it matter if they were gifted something by a park or that they (God forbid) make money off their vlog? I just watch them because I enjoy seeing Disney when I can't be there. Makes me happy.

Same. I was watching Molly from Allears on my lunch break today and laughing at her antics. But even more importantly, she gave a lot of interesting facts and tidbits while doing a scavenger hunt of sorts around Fantasyland. I learn a lot from some of the vloggers.

Molly is the best!

Would it impact your dining experience, especially if your alone with your partner enjoying a "quiet" dinner (a break from the parks and youngsters' meltdowns we ALL need during a Disney trip) together and listening to a play-by-play about the bread service, beer, appetizer....how to EAT the appetizer, etc......?? Thanks for sharing!

Most vloggers I see vlogging from inside sit down restaurants seem to be very aware of people around them and seem to try to talk quietly, tape without being obnoxious about it or without taping another group/couple eating their meal.
I notice a big difference in someone vlogging from a character meal and/or buffet than from a quieter restaurant, for instance.

Lee ran into Paging Mr Morrow (Nat) three times this trip. Twice At Epcot, where he was reviewing something while tucked in a corner not disturbing anyone.

On the 1st or 2nd night of the return of the Epcot fireworks, he specifically tucked his camera up out of the way of anyone. He perched it on some rocks above the heads of the entire crowd, so as not to bother anyone with it, which I thought was really nice of him. (It may not have been technically allowed, LOL, but it was nice! )

Those of you who know them also know that Nate has a loud (infectious) laugh.

This has absolutely nothing to do with vlogging. Yes, loud drunks are annoying. And it’s made worse because most people THINK they are not loud and annoying when drunk, but in reality they are.

But they are annoying whether there is a camera on or not.
