UGGG!!!!!!!!!! Holiday overload. It's just past Christmas and New Year, tomorrow is Ephinany, and the stores and ads are all Valentine's Day :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: Is a 2 week break too much to ask for? Spoken as somebody who already has gifts put aside, including some for next Christmas

Valentines Day isn't a big thing here. I went into a store today looking for a book light and a new kitchen timer and it was full of Easter stuff!

Yeah, Ron isn't my favorite. When he first started, he was better, but he's become so repetitive. He also goes to watch the glass blower every time they're there, as well as the piano player outside of Casey's. It's very boring. If he's the only one there, I might have him on in the background, but I'm not paying attention.

He's obsessed with his subscriber count, because this is his full-time job. He started a year or two ago, and I remember him saying early that his wife gave him until August to get to, I believe, 20,000 subscribers, or he had to get a normal job. Well, he surpassed that, and he's one of the most popular streamers now. But I think that's because he's the only one who literally streams the equivalent of a 40+ hour work week. I believe he did 19 Halloween parties last year. Again, way too repetitive.

He also talks during rides, which I don't like. I imagine he's one of the annoying streamers to be seated in the same ride vehicle with. I like the down-to-earth streamers who don't take away from other guests' experiences. The main one is obviously ResortTV1. I also like Goo to You. They're quite strange and quirky, honestly, but I think they're funny. They also seem to be the most genuine people out there, who truly don't care about numbers or viewers. Their quality is usually good, and they do different things every stream. Again, they're definitely some odd ducks, but I enjoy them.

Outside of ResortTV1 and Goo to You, I enjoy other streamers, but they all have something I don't always care for. Very few of them are deal breakers for me watching them, but a little bit can go a long way with some of them.

I didn’t even know what a live stream was until 2020.
I was on this site the day MK reopened during Covid, and somebody posted a link to a ResortTV1 live stream.
Since then, I’ve watched many different streamers, including Goo to You. Definitely quirky, etc., but I, generally, enjoy them as well.
There was a now-defunct channel that Carolyn and I both participated in for a while…Brian & Amanda.
We also participated in their Thursday night video chats, which were usually pretty fun.
We even met up with them, and a bunch of others from their channel, to see Yeeha Bob at the River Roost at POR, on our Oct. 2023 trip…!!! :)

As far as Ron goes, yes he’s in the Crystal Arts shop a lot.
I think Neil and Grayson are his favorite piano players. Both are pretty amazing, actually.
I really don’t mind the above two things, but his parade/cavalcade obsession drives me a bit bonkers.
It’s funny, as I can go on HM, PotC, etc., time and again, but I’m pretty much one and done on parades/cavalcades.
I too will also sometimes have Ron on in the background while I’m playing on my phone, etc., if he’s the only live game in town.
Anyway, it’s still pretty fun to be able to check in on a live stream, to see what’s going on at WDW in real time…!!! :)

I don't mind the piano players or the glass blowers, but it's the fact that he does it every single day that becomes redundant. It seems like he never does any rides (outside of 500 trips on the Peoplemover).

He's also done all-day LwtL, SSE, etc.

how many laps a day does he average?
The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover at Magic Kingdom Park in Walt Disney World is a 10-minute narrated tour.

I just saw your post and checked in.
Not exactly sure, but he just completed lap 39 for today. The CM asked him how many more, and he said one or two.
The CMs know what he’s doing, and are just letting him stay on, as he wishes.
He’s also taking breaks as needed I’m sure, but every time I’ve pulled up the stream he’s been riding.

Plus, as in my first post, he seems to never go anywhere else at WDW but MK.
I think he’s done some streams from DLR (which I didn’t watch), as he hangs with another YouTuber out there called Koda Bear.
They both took a trip to Japan a while back, and he posted some vlogs that were actually pretty interesting. He’s ex military (Army?), and I think he was stationed there for a while.
He’s up to over 52K subscribers now.
But, he’s got a ways to go to catch ResortTV1, as they’re at over 200K now.

He used to do Fantasmic every Tuesday or Thursday, can't remember which. I think since the Halloween and Christmas parties, he's been mostly at MK. I wonder if he's noticing he gets more views at MK? It seems like he's driven by whatever gets views and subscribers. Which is fair since this is his career, but I prefer variety.
