This pic gives me such “two middle aged couples on a joint holiday” vibes. Like those Spain episodes of EastEnders with Peggy, Frank, Pat, Roy, Terry and Irene 20 years ago.

Maybe Adam finally gave into temptation and is putting his Sharoo up Gary C’s Moo Moo.

Just back from my own hols and catching up on blogs. Where does he go from here? Upper class - check. The new ship - check. Grand Floridian - check. Club level - check. DVC - check. The whole vlogger wish list checked off for both of them. How many more times will people tune in to watch them do the same thing? Surely they must be riding the wheels off (and the views on the cruise days are lower than I expected) unless they go to Hawaii/Alaska/the Asian parks? Granted I’m jet lagged but I fell asleep during the Nassau vlog and during the Castaway Cay vlog. I think the Grand Flo vlog kept me awake because it is exciting to see someone get robbed before your eyes.
A grand a night, or close to it, for THAT outdated, blah room and a few cheap snacks?!? I like the Disney hotels, I think they are all well done with great theming outside but none of them are true deluxe hotels. The best part of the GF are the parts open to the public, the rooms are so underwhelming for the utterly obscene cost which goes from $660 to $1499 per night for random dates over the next few months.

Edited to say I don’t buy the “writeoff” argument either. These vacations are not cheap and I don’t see how he could deduct these without issue based on what we know about his business - sells a few candles and shirts and self printed books. Although if he has found a way or if anyone thinks it would be feasible - shout - I have a dozen test stores for work purposes and a trip I’d love to write off lol!

He’d have been better to book a DVC room at the Grand Floridian, we have stayed in them and they are beautiful.! They have now done some studios out there idea for what they needed and they are stunning, really good finish and high spec

I have often thought this about the deluxe Disney resorts, I just don't think any of them are worth the extra price even for Club Level. Even if I was wealthier I'd probably just stay at a nice moderate like Port Orleans and spend the money elsewhere.

That being said, having been to the Polynesian it is my favourite and I can imagine it being nice to come back there every night, but still the price...

He will eventually make himself irrelevant the more lavish trips he takes, especially as people start to suffer more over Winter. Yes, there is a market for luxury holidays etc and people love to have a nosey at how "the other half" do stuff but that is not how he started out as and so lots will turn off. IMO

I agree. Thing is with real luxury travel vloggers it's a very different style to Adam point and shoot and act up for the camera style. Also I'd imagine many luxury travel viewers won't class disney as luxury.
