Disney needs to mark off 5 or 10 square feet in a few spots in the park - reserved for "vloggers" so they can film/blab whatever to their little hearts content without getting in the way of everyone else. Preferably in the old smoking section.

Let them battle it out - lord of the flies style - for those spots. Out of the way of the rest of us.

Win Win - they get to milk the park for $$$ and us paying customers - enjoying the park - buying food to EAT - sitting down and not filming other people. Buying merch without worrying about some jackwagon filming you shopping and tossing elbows for a better view.

You know what would be great? Disney does a Battle Royale style match of the veritable plethora of Disneyland vloggers, and at the end only allows one official channel to vlog.

I don't know how these sevenish different channels keep making revenue vlogging about the same things to varying degrees of lazyness.

We laugh - but if you have a personality - you could prob make it work.

Most of the time - (at least in my case) - 90% of the videos I watch are not telling me anything i don't already know - but it IS a different take and I like the personality.

Prime Example - MrBallen - low low production values - in many cases talking about true crime and other horrible stories I already know about - but he tells it like a story in his own style - in his spare bedroom - with an iphone and a green screen - and he averages millions per video - and has sponsors. It's his fill time job. Well Done!

Another great one - Bright Sun Films - WELL produced and SUPER well researched - his Disney videos are 2nd to none - he does his research and again - he can tell a story (why did horizons close at Epcot) and you will learn a ton more.

I lost my sweet little boy while I was down with long Covid. It's over two years later and my loss of lung capacity and memory problems appear to be permanent. I lost a family member to cancer because the hospital was so overrun with Covid patients that he gave up, went home, and died in his living room.

But yeah, sucks you couldn't ride a bleeping train for children you useless bleeping waste of the very oxygen my lungs can no longer hold. Boo. bleeping. Hoo.


Edit: Sorry about the language. I had a lot more anger on tap than I realized when I started typing.

My sincerest sympathies and sadness for your loss. ❤️

Super stan is back at it again... Seriously though, why does she love BLAB so much out of the thousands of Disney vloggers out there?

What is it with those with the name Tiffany being super stans? Isn't there a super stan of TTT who is part of their comments mafia?

Not a FB fan/stan - but I can appreciate the effort he is taking to look more professional and generating content at home - not in line for Big Thunder or spread out across three tables at Jolly Holiday eating pimento sammiches you brought from home.

To me - if you are going to do this "full time" (Narrator: "You shouldn't") then this is the right path. You can wax poetic about the latest survey or rumor - at home - not taking up a reservation or standing in line. I got no beef with that. You will get subs/views based on your content - not park footage.

David is an asshole. Watch his livestreams where he takes questions, he is always condescending to his subs. I caught one the other day for shits and giggles, and he's still an arrogant prick. He is a male KT, with much worse teeth 😄 KT hangs out with him because he gets big superchats. And he's barely thankful for them. Chipmunk duck.

I’ve heard the same stories about Liz being an absolute rancid and rude witch as well. No wonder her and KT get on so well as it all makes sense now.
 
I'm trying to catch up but these pages are filling up quick!

How does she not get the irony of posting this? It's hilarious!

Great stuff Teri!!!!! Such tallent! I can screw up sewing a button on a Blazer and have 2 jackets that I need the sleeves hemed (I'm short so nothing fits) that have been hanging in my closet, unworn for about 6 months. I need to find a tailor in Colorado so I can wear them! I'm jealous!!!! I have bookmarked your site and hope to be able to TREAT myself to something one day. Love the bags but think I need an apron. 😀

Ironically, sewing thousands of face masks made me a better at sewing. Tailoring is a whole other animal.Most dry cleaners have a tailor that can do that for you relatively cheap. Thanks for your kind words!

Wow. These two are so un-original. So KTP reposts this vid on her stories from Disney Parks/Ken Potrock’s account-



And then the next vid they post they’ve basically copied the entire format and stolen from it? Even though the video is ten times more shonky and terribly edited together, as always.

Nice one ya big con artists. Keep on grifting..

I'm not going to lie, that video Ken posted made me cry a little. I know when the pandemic hit all those businesses and the City of Anaheim felt like Disney was running their city and always bashed them, the possibility of the parks going away and destroying their city and businesses as we know it was unfathomable. It was a huge wake up call on how much everyone depended on Disney. And Disney could have just tossed all their food and wrote off their losses, but they donated and continued to work with the local food banks, they allowed their parking lots to be Covid Testing sites and later vaccine sites, they continued to help the city of Anaheim even while their company was taking a huge loss. I know several "Disney Influencers" who instead of whining on their couches about the parks being closed, actually volunteered their time at those testing sites, working 12 hour days for months with no pay, because they wanted to help the people in their communities. Even when they were home from the sites these influencers would go on Instagram and tell stories of the multitudes of people they served, and how everyone needed to spread the word to get more people vaccinated. Because they wanted people to get better and for people to get back to work, to have the parks open so the cast members could get their jobs back, because they wanted people to have a place to celebrate again. BLAB will never understand what that feels like because they are incapable of empathy or putting others before yourselves. They are the Karens of Disneyland who demand customer service be the way they think it should be, not the way the business chooses to do business, and they want to be praised endlessly for doing so. This just picked the scab off the wound I had for them when I unsubscribed and I'm angrier at their bullshit than I have ever been.

Since I brought everybody down last night, I'll try the humble brag part this morning.

Seven months ago I weighed 243 pounds, my heaviest ever. As of this morning, I weigh 183. I'm nine pounds from being in the healthy weight range for my height. And I'll get there!

Yay! That's huge accomplishment! I'm 5'10", I my biggest was at 265, I am currently 234 but it's taken years for me to get here. One day I will hit Onederland, hopefully.

You just reminded me when they started trying to show how disneyland being closed affected all the surrounding hotels and businesses. They even did lunch at a restaurant near the park but for free food since rhe owner recognized them.

They said they would showcase more Anaheim businesses and try and get people to go. Total lies but it's only when it is convenient for their narrative.

Someone should ask again in the lives if they will be showcasing any new Anaheim restaurants. Or when they last went to that Mediterranean one they showed before

To quote our plaid hero, don't give this gerbil toothed grifter any money either!
 
By the way everyone, here's the thread for Fresh Baked if anyone doesn't have it yet! It's fun to gossip about them but let's not try to stray too far away from BLAB in this thread.

Fresh Baked David, who if animated would be a Gerbil in Newsies Attire, retires from Full Time Poker

Welcome! David from Fresh Baked was recently critical of the Tattle.Life community. So in the spirit of Democracy, I thought this thread could be a “Marketplace of Ideas” about what Fresh Baked contributes to society in a pandemic with their full-time Theme Park content. I borrowed the...

Luckily I wasnt on camera lol i felt the same way about big fella's reaction tho. It seemed like once Spencer was remotely nice to me and complimented my shirt, she lost any interest and couldn't be bothered by my presence.

Really kinda hurt my feelings cause I genuinely enjoyed them at the time. I mean my husband was even right there with me so who knows WTF her problem was. I assumed she was having a bad at that time, but now i know she's a petty jealous mean witch.

You were taking his attention away from her. You could have been an ugly man and she'd still be bothered because everything is all about her.

And thank you to poster that mentioned their crap name is probably not trademarked. So worth the $450 fee to get it and shut them down from using it in the future. And KT if you are reading this, better be quick with that Trademark. if not filled out properly they deny it. Better amp up those super chats.

Nice!

A year ago (lockdowns) it COULD survive. People were stuck at home watching whatever they could. Now - not so much.

They can just go to the parks - or watch one or two videos.

Disney is subtly addressing this as well (probably not intentional) but doing things like their own live stream of the MSEP in quality.
Why watch it on a potato over a 3G connection with blathering commentary when you can see it live - pro shot.

Add a few live cameras around the park streaming in HQ all day - would REALLY take a chunk out.

Put a live stream HQ Camera (with sound) at the beginning of main street - BOOM. That would eat up a TON of views.

I completely agree, plus the Disney Parks live stream showed the parade from multiple angles, you were able to see both sides of the finale float, it was less static. Also, the streamers can't monetize the parade videos, they would get a strike for music copyright violation. I'm curious though if the vloggers still get to keep their SuperChat money when filming those livestreams, I wonder if the music would force them to refund the money given. Either way, it can't possibly equal what they would get on a regularly viewed video if they were only paid in SuperChats or other streaming platforms. It's purely for clout at this point, but the funniest part is because there are hundreds of people streaming now, there is no more "first" or "exclusive" anymore. They are all just a drop in the bucket. Charisma and likability is the draw now for the multitude of Disney creators, longevity is not a guarantee of more viewers, BLAB hasn't figured that out yet.

I hope they do something because it's been really frustrating. It's always been a problem in the past but I think the pandemic worsened things and convinced a lot of Disney vloggers that they can get away with low quality content and make a lot of money from it. And it's not even limited to YouTubers anymore, I know a TikToker named eat.sleep.parkhop who spends his entire day in the park begging for donations and does this until he's kicked out by CMs for staying after closing. And I think people like BLAB set this precedent of people who are making a career out of poor quality park content.

There is a plague of TikTokers live-streaming constantly in the parks. No matter what time of the day I log on, I get suggested at least 5 live streamers no matter what time of day, both in WDW and Disneyland.
