Being a Disney Influencer

["El Gran Magnifico"]

DFB is one of the least click-bait Disney sites I have seen. Are you sure you aren't thinking of Disney Dining which is ITM level click bait?

I know these things are subjective and there is no "right or wrong" answer.

But to me when I see videos presented in this way with titles like: "Why People Aren't Eating in DW Restaurants" or "Things that SHOCK DL Guests".

It just screams clickbait to me.

I think at a minimum they have to do quite a bit of editing, which is certainly time consuming, although not “hard” in the sense that it’s not paving roads in the hot sun. And some of the more ambitious channels - DFB and Mammoth Club for example - put up content all over the place (online guidebooks, Discord channels, podcasts, etc.)

I guess I’m a little sympathetic because I think of how frigging time consuming and boring putting together a single PowerPoint presentation can be. The process of thinking up good material and the detail work of actually making it. Doing that for hours and hours a day wouldn’t be tons of fun I imagine (although again, it’s not exactly doing construction in the hot sun either.)

I was going to add the part about editing. I think that takes longer than what I would think. I like ResortTV because they don't appear to be narcissists, have full-time jobs aside from vlogging, and are fun to watch. I don't watch all the streaming events they do as I get a little tired of them saying hello to everyone online. That's my fault, not theirs. PagingMrMorrow is usually enjoyable and 4k WDW is also good.

I have thought about if I would do something similar if I lived in Florida and there is no way. I want to enjoy the parks and not have it be a job. I already get impatient when my spouse is taking a minute to take a picture of something. So, having to shoot content, edit it, and figure out new content would get tiresome after a while. Also, I couldn't trust myself to not say something insulting about people who walk four across and block an entire pathway or those who do the same with double-wide strollers filled with six year olds.

Maybe I’m confusing “YouTube Channel” with “vlogger”. I use them kind of interchangeably but I guess there’s a difference?

Huge difference.

So why aren't people eating in Disney restaurants ?

So why aren't people eating in Disney restaurants ?

1 Too expensive
2. Can't get an ADR.

Those were points 1 and 2.
I stopped watching after that.

Sometimes, Allears does that kind of thing. It looks interesting and then I start watching and they share nothing insightful. Kind of like how the news will announce a big story, save it for the end, and it turns out to be nothing.

I can understand that, but it doesn't bother me because it pales in comparison to things like this:

I like food blog…they still do mostly travelogues and info based stuff.

But they are a pretty pro group now. I remember they bought all ears…Deb was the OG food honey

I imagine there is a difference between people who do some vlogging as a part of their channel / business, and those who do it exclusively as well.

DFB feels far too "in Disney's pocket". Maybe it's just me.

I’d say “positive”…but not in the tank like some of the sorry Orlando-ites

I don’t think they fawn over Disney or anything - but hard hitting analysis is not their focus. They’re more of a planning and general information site. They will do things like list pros and cons for different resorts, restaurants, etc. And I appreciate that they are more kid focused than some of the channels, because there’s surprisingly little emphasis on trip planning with a child on most of the Disney YouTube videos.

It’s French.

The only hard part for an influencer is to be entertaining every single stream/video. Pointing a camera and going hey how ya doing isn't hard work at all.

I mentioned this the other day: I can’t imagine how exhausting it is with the pressure to both produce content and be the content.

You should go check out the RTV1 page on Tattle. They’d disagree strongly with that characterization

That website is populated by people who come off as borderline sociopaths. I would put zero stock into what gets said there.
