While I don't disagree that Disney may do something in the future, I don't think they will ever outright ban Vlogging/Live Streaming. Too many eyeballs watching in my opinion. Remember that PR, you try to shutdown the beast now you're going to get push back. Maybe a charge like was mentioned or maybe some more "rules".Oh, believe me, I watch YouTube more than traditional TV, including things like Abroad in Japan (An Englishman’s view of his day to day life in Japan) and SuperCarlinBrothers (insanely deep dives into Potterverse and Pixar theories). And of course, several good theme park channels.
I love the slice-of-life, quiet walk-around videos from channels such as you mentioned. Someone recently posted a non-narrated long leisurely walk around Europa Park. Beautifully filmed. It’s the most relaxing thing I’ve ever seen.
I do think Disney’s going to Inevitably crack down on their daily parasi— I mean, vloggers. For many reasons. It will most likely be spurred by some vlogger going too far and really doing something ultra-obnoxious, but it will come down to these points:
1) Disney loves money, and will probably be unable to resist charging a fee to “professionals” who frequent their parks. While these vloggers get lots of views, it’s a drop in the bucket for Disney; 99 percent of Disney park tourists have never watched any of them. And nearly everyone watching are the people who go to the parks anyway. The vloggers are not expanding Disney’s fanbase.
2) Disney likes to control their PR.
They already have their own official Disney Parks podcast series.
The Disney Parks Youtube channel hasn't leaned too far into the Vlogging genre yet, short of some celebrities talking about their experience inside the Parks.

1000 points for mentioning Prue!
I honestly love threads like this occurring every once in a while. Creates better entertainment compared to what ever modern WDI is up to nowadays.It’s EVERYBODY’s thread now! Bwahahaha!
Seriously, though, we love anything that gets a conversation started, and—though I wasn’t here to read your original post—it seems to have spurred a discussion about a very interesting aspect of today’s Disney parks. That’s a good thing!
Speaking of Disney and YouTube, I remember seeing a video from if the parks' official YT channels where various audio antimatronics from other Disney attractions interacted with eachother. I swear this is real, but forgot the videos name.
I think you are right. By allowing others to speak for their brand it becomes concerning.Oh, believe me, I watch YouTube more than traditional TV, including things like Abroad in Japan (An Englishman’s view of his day to day life in Japan) and SuperCarlinBrothers (insanely deep dives into Potterverse and Pixar theories). And of course, several good theme park channels.
