Disney needs to realize these vloggers are not helping the company. I personally have chosen not to go several times after watching vloggers get loud and rude to innocent people at the park. I don't want to go to the park and be annoyed being around these people. And I've personally left numerous messages and emails expressing my displeasure of how Disney is allowing this (at my expense). Disney should buy out the better vloggers and build their own channel of vloggers that they sponsor. KT and Spencer only diminish the entire DL experience at this point. I would permanently ban them as they are just using this private entity for cash and their personalities are not on brand for the company. Disney would never feature these two entitled, unattractive, con artists in any official capacity, so it's 'best remove'em' for the true fans that have become discouraged and are not attending because of this garbage at the park.

So much this. I saw a little bit of a recent BLAB Live from Disneyland and they literally had the camera set up to show the crowd going by! People’s faces when they noticed the camera were creeped out and like WTF (rightfully so) all while BLAB is panhandling for SuperChats! This needs to stop!!

The day these two get banned is the day we have a virtual party!! I can feel it’s going to happen. They are just too stupid and inconsiderate.

Disney doesn't even need to do a Google search to know these two losers don't cut it. Watching a video, or better yet one of their live videos, should be enough.

THUNDEROUS STANDING OVATION!!!

They bring absolutely nothing to the table, not even hard work (yes, yes, I'm sure it's really hard to constantly delete comments, but that doesn't qualify as having a job). I can't imagine Disney ever putting the better vloggers on the payroll (it's enough that some of them get invited to events, etc) but IMO it's high time they stop letting everyone with a camera try to make money off their park.

It detracts from the real park guests who want to give Disneyland, and ONLY Disneyland, their money.

This is so true!!

You probably remember, but a person here (apologies I can't remember which one of you it was) pointed out a BLAB video a couple of months ago which showed Spencer opening filming a poor woman in the park who happened to be sitting at a table Breastfeeding. The woman looks absolutely mortified but Spencer does not take the camera off her and continues to film.

Now I'm sure Spence would argue all day that he didn't realise, and maybe he didn't but that's not the point.

When he put on his editing pants, the breastfeeding woman made it through his edit... and when it finally got pointed out to him on here, they still left the video up.
So you can only assume from that, that Spence thinks it's okay to film, upload and share a video of a member of the public in the park breastfeeding when he could have and should have left it out.

It's not like the woman sat down while he was filming, she was already there and had chosen a quiet spot to do it.
Whatever your feelings are on breastfeeding in public (and I respect them) there was absolutely no need for Spencer to include this in the video, no need at all,
it was just creepy and wrong.

They are beyond disgusting, how Disney allows this kind of thing is beyond me. Something has to change where professional vlogging is concerned I hope it does.

YES!!!! The breast feeding Mother was far away from everyone sitting by the fire or a heat lamp since it was a cold night. Spencer full on filmed her and had her as a background. I wonder if anyone’s ever smacked the camera out of their hands and they just never mentioned it 🤔

I agree with you here. I’m a few miles from Disney (am I the Anaheim gangs they’re afraid of?!) and my S.O. has been wanting to get passes again for years. We had them for about 10 years but these two have definitely ruined the magic for me. I always wanted a snack/meal/drink on top of a souvenir when we went, and they are the sole reason Disney has a loss of revenue from me.

Let’s see…if I spent minimum $10 for food, minimum $35 for a souvenir, twice/week every month, that’s ~$6.7k/year if you include the cost of both of our passes. And that’s the MINIMUM loss! I get that <$10k won’t break the bank for Disney, but if they’re losing that much on just me, I guarantee there are others out there in the same boat.
 
The fact that these two human sponges think Disney owes them something because they purchased the highest level Key is hilarious to me. You mean because they spend so much money in their parks? *Cut to videos of them packing their toddler style Lunchables* or because they drop so much $ on merch *tags left on clothing for return*.

In reality they show up an hour before closing just to ruin everyone else’s experience & annoy CM’s trying to usher guests out. Or they plop themselves at a table in the parks for hours & beg for money. Yeah, you two are real assets to Disneyland 🙄🙄🙄 why they aren’t listening to you is beyond comprehension! 🤯🤣😂🤣

Bring on the reservation system because I’m petty AF 😘, enjoy BLOB!

OMG, that's horrible!

I know it's part of an inconceivably bigger problem that, even when in public, we should all still have a basic right to privacy and personal safety. We should still all expect to be the ultimate owners of our own likeness.

One the one hand, when you enter Disneyland you are on private property and thereby give some of your rights away for Disney to use as they see fit. But mostly even Disney doesn't exploit that right on a grand scale. And when Disney Parks film, they put up extra signage that if you view this event, your likeness may be used as part of their property.

Vloggers are much more careless, not to mention prolific, about filming other people without their consent.

Very few people have gone so far as to have their likeness copyrighted, mostly only the famous. But everyone still should be able to expect that random strangers DO NOT have the ultimate right to use your face without your consent. It's just basic human decency.

It was one thing when strangers used to end up in the background of some family's picture in front of the castle. Now it's fairly hard to avoid ending up on YouTube where thousands of viewers will see you and your children's face on a channel you don't even like.

Why...that's like the difference between a child accidentally stepping on your foot when you cut in front of him on the Mark Twain, and DELIBERATELY going around stepping on EVERYONE'S foot while you prance around the park going, "Hey, these things happen in crowds! Sorry, not sorry!" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
I skimmed through the new video where they ride HM & BTR at night. Full disclosure, I didn't watch it all. But my take away was after avoiding BLAB for months, and then looking incredibly uncomfortable to be filmed by them, Dylan appeared to be back on Team BLAB. That's disappointing, because every now and then I check out his videos knowing they won't show up. Also, I forgot how annoying Spence is when filming in the actual park
 
Disney needs to at least make anyone who wants to use their parks for commercial filming register and agree to some common courtesy. It’s pretty easy to blur out guests in the background to respect their privacy. It will only take a basic website and they will have to make some poor cast member watch all of the awful videos. Anyone who violates the rules of common decency will not be allowed to film on property. And no personal telethons, aka livestreams.

Totally agree, that is the impression I get too.
I'm really disappointed in Dylan... I've always liked him but this reflects badly on him and his channel.
Especially with the racist incidents that have popped up this week, and the obvious overall undertones of what BLAB support and stand for (I think most of you know what I mean without being political)
