WDW changes over the few years have broken our hearts. Paying around $150 for a day ticket then having to pay to be able to get on a ride broke our spirit and desire to keep supporting Disney.
And it's worse than that IMHO. Not only do they want us to pay more to get on the rides, we are both supposed to wake up, on our vacations, in the middle of the night to grab key reservations. Then, once you get in the parks, we are supposed to spend the day with our nose in our phones trying to book more reservations. That is my idea of an ANTI-VACATION!!!! Most esp at Disney, a place I used to go to immerse myself in magic and escape the real world. Somewhere Walt is spinning and furious!
To be honest Dev, we just can't afford Disney anymore. We live in Pennsylvania and can make 2 trips down for 2 weeks at a time to Universal cheaper than 10 days at Disney. When Disney started charging parking fees at the resorts, the value resorts aren't even a value anymore. We watch everything you post because you have a great voice and personality. You engage your audience with the ability to keep us interested in whatever you're doing. Keep up the great work.
Maybe they will lower their prices once epic universe opens and starts taking their business. Have you seen the plans for Nintendo land? 😮 it’s going to blow Disney out of the water
I love that Universal let’s us out of staters still buy their lower tier annual pass (we’re seasonal passholders from MA) makes it way more affordable to make multiple trips to the parks.
Wow I had no idea all of this was going on! I really appreciate you taking time the time to be honest with all of us. You have gained even more respect from me! 😊 I’m so sorry your family had to go through what you did.
I am so inspired by where you are with everything. I want to say that I absolutely LOVE your cruise videos, especially on non Disney cruises. The cruise community doesn’t have a large variety of quality vloggers and it is so needed. I hope that if it works out for you and your family, that you can do many more cruise videos showing the different ships and ports. I met you once and you were such a kind human. You were so excited to meet me and let me know I mattered to you and your channel. That kind of soul isn’t made it’s just who you are. You were so authentic. Please never stop making videos at the other parks and especially cruises. I adore you and Bianca both and am thankful for all of your hard work. ♥️
Thanks Dev for your honesty. Disney is definitely not the same and hasn’t been in awhile. We are passholders from Ft Lauderdale area and used to go 4-5 times a year for quick weekend trips or week long vaca. Every time we go, we are craving that old time magic and end up leaving disappointed. Between crowds, over pricing, wait times it’s just not as enjoyable. I love Disney and we have so many family memories that I will cherish. Love your videos and hope you and family are doing well. Keep up great work!
I’ve grown up going to Disney and now into my adulthood I’ve been going annually too - and I agree it’s just not the same world anymore. It’s been tarnished and I think it’s so many little things that add up to one big picture. Follow your heart, be true to yourself, and create what you love and what you are passionate about. It’s okay to step away and create boundaries with people and places that don’t serve us anymore!
Thank you for explaining everything, but I honestly feel like you don’t owe anyone an explanation of why you’ve gone in a different direction for your channel. Keep being you.
I absolutely 100% hear you. Way back in the day when the Disboards were a big thing, I participated in the Trip Reports forum. I enjoyed it. I like to write. I got a pretty big following. People seemed nice. They were excited to read each chapter. I made some really good friends whom I dearly love to this day. I loved having conversations with the folks commenting on my reports. Kind words, good wishes etc. it seemed super positive. Then it wasn’t. Right around my second trip report I found out that there was a whole group of people who were regulars on the Disboards, who had made a whole new forum specifically to hate on my trip reports. They picked apart and mocked every single word. Then I started getting threats. THREATS. From people who do not know me and somehow found my trip report writing to be so enraging that there were threats of violence. One person suggested “spilling my guts on the ground in front of Cinderella castle” would be possible. Seriously? My recounting of trips I take with my family in which there were no discussions of political affiliation, religion or really anything at all other than loving being at disney world with my family. That’s stupid. As much as I enjoyed the interaction with people who were being so kind and supportive, that kind of nasty toxic hatred for no reason other than to be nasty…nope. I’m out. Not worth it. I can only imagine the pressure and stress involved when you are making videos. People are just terrifying. I find the hating just to hate so baffling. Dev I think you are great. I love the positivity you put out into the world. I love that you are calling out the nastiness and competitive hatefulness that exists within the disney vlogging community. It’s so crazy that people who are “disney fans and influencers” would be so incredibly hateful. Seems a bit opposite of the whole Disney affiliation. Either way, it is not worth it. It takes a toll on your mental health in a very big way. I’m glad you are protecting yourself from that kind of negativity. Not worth it. You are awesome. You are loved. You are appreciated! ❤
So sorry to hear about some of that - those aren’t “Disney fans” they’re just mentally ill abusers in an echo chamber since everyone sane left The internet was fun for fandom for a while, now I really miss the world before it People in real life tend to be a lot more kind for the most part
We are all thankful for the honest comments. The negativity of humanity is real. Take time out for yourself and return on your own terms, when you are ready.
Wow I have to admit I was fooled. I've seen some of the other Vloggers in your videos and never detected any animosity. I think you even did a joint video with Jojo if I recall a while back. Regardless, there's lot more to life than Disney - change is good.
Dev when I started watching Disney Vlogs you were the one I watched. You were great then and you still are now. You always kept it real and you need to be true to yourself and that's another reason why I liked your content. Best to you and Bianca always. Peace out.😊
As someone who loves your Disney content, I totally understand ! Your mental and physical health and safety matter waaaaay more! PS- I love all your content! I wouldn’t mind seeing some other theme park videos besides Disney & universal too. Stay doing you though! We support you! 😊
I felt so compelled to write in. I wanted to personally from the bottom of my heart thank you for sharing your retrospective and candor of how you feel with the negativity and toxicity you have had to endure. It saddens me to hear and learn this. Upset for you, truly I am. Thank you for all of your hard work over these past several years and the amazing content and dedication to your craft that you have provided all of us viewers with. I can only imagine all the work, care and preparation that goes into each and every new project and posting that’s released. We love you man. Please keep your spirits up, your head held high and know we all have your back and will continue to support you unconditionally. Your transparency and genuine spirit is too be commended. Never change and enjoy life and those closest to you. I will be here as will the countless others to continue on viewing from a far on this continuing journey of yours with or without the regular Disney content and the haters can all just keep on hating. Everyone please be good and most importantly be humble. Much love and respect to you and all the real fans and family. - - Mike from Philly
I couldn't agree with you more. My family and I were in Orlando last week and we stayed for the first time at Portofino Bay at Universal. We went to the Universal Parks several days and it was so laid back and everything ran smoothly. We also went to Disney for one day, and it was so stressful and uptight. We were constantly on the dumb app trying to get on Guardians of the Galaxy. Lines were long and people cutting lines and just general craziness. I have been a Disney fan for my whole life, but now I feel the magic is gone. I am really enjoying Universal and what they have to offer. City walk was so cool and we had several really good meals there after we left the parks in the evening. I appreciate you and all that you do to share Disney and Universal with us all. Do what you need to do to have peace in your life for you and your family. You have a beautiful family and I really enjoy the cooking with Bianca vlogs. Thanks to you all!
We’re going to Universal in February & staying at Portofino. We love staying there. Universal is definitely a relaxing & enjoyable experience. At WDW it’s too complicated to enjoy it.
This is my first comment here. I watch and enjoy your videos. It is sad to hear how bad Disney has gotten and I think you are spot on about no new Disney content. I am sorry you have had to deal with such nonsense and wish you the best in all you do. I will continue to watch your channel for the INTERESTING content and because your honesty is refreshing. Thank you
We love your videos dev. you were one of the vloggers that brought our love to the theme parks. Im very sorry you got the crazies after you, and its sad to hear that other vloggers are mean as well. Disney parks can be so increddibly stressful, and when the theme park lifestyle becomes a job, thats when it brings out the worst of people. keep on brother thanks for all of your content! looking forward to the next videos!
Dev thank you for your videos and honesty. We are from NY so we only visit Disney World once, maybe twice a year. I agree things don't feel the same as a few years ago. However, I do feel because we don't go often, it still keeps that anticipation and excitement fresh for us. There is always something new each time we return. That's why we feel like we are traveling someplace special each time because its not close to home. I feel that if we visited often, it would definitely burn us out too
Insane to think that you get flak for doing your work. Very sad to compare DisneyWorld (and society) today versus 15 years ago. Appreciate all you've done and totally onboard with your decisions!
I get most of what you said in this video, but I don’t understand how you can be upset with people taking pictures of you in a public place when you have built a career off filming people in a public place. Like you always say treat others how you want to be treated.
Same we downgraded our Disney passes upgraded our universal w volcano bay included and still spend less that w one pass from Disney just two days at aventura hotel w Passholder discount fur 125 a night universal is such a better value
PCDEV you are so right about the toxic Disney environment! Don’t worry about the haters cause you have a community that enjoys your videos. My daughter and I love your videos no matter what the topic is. Keep doing your thing! ❤️
I completely understand! You are getting older and growing in new directions. That is a good thing! Blessings to you! And I love your sincerity and honesty.
Anything online with social media is toxic. I don’t blame you. Frankly, I believe it’s an overall societal issue - starts very young with kids and people do not know how to respect each other. People have lost sight of how to behave in public (and in their personal lives). “It’s nice to be nice!”
I totally agree 100 percent with your comment. People feel entitled to be rude and disrespectful its almost like the more disrespectful the better. That's why i dont like being in crowds or much on social media...
You should realize that you are growing. Emotionally ,mentally and worldly. It is important that you realize what your boundaries are - and what you want to get out of your videos and time. I have watched you for awhile - I have noticed your frustrations, but also that you are shifting your focus to your life. The positives. Let go of the Disney distraction- and be happy. You both deserve it.
Thanks for sharing your feelings about this situation. I’m an ex cast member and an avid Disney fan. I remember the days of no internet or Vloggers saturating the parks. It was much more peaceful and laid back then. We could truly feel the magic with every show and attraction. Most of the Vloggers are annoying to me knowing how things used to be at Walt Disney World. I love your content and appreciate your honesty about the vibe in Orlando and I totally agree. Although I moved back to Michigan from Kissimmee, FL, Orlando will always be our second home. I will always love Disney for many reasons, they just need to pull back the curtain to remember what Walt’s vision and dream was when he started the Florida Project from the beginning. I loved meeting you and Bianca last spring. Keep up the great work!! 😊
Disney does not care anymore. They are about the almighty dollar and nothing else. I used to love Disney. Looked forward to every vacation, but will never go back. Everything is $$$. I always liked your videos❤
Dev, I’m so sorry. That must be so hard for you and your family. You have to do what is best for you. We will always support your choice. Sending love and best wishes 🇬🇧xx
My wife and I got to meet you once outside of Guardians and you were awesome. I love your honest takes on Disney and so I will very much miss that. Also your diet and exercise videos are inspiring. Thanks 👍
I have to be a bit of a devils advocate here, you have every right to complain, and yes, you absolutely need to have safe boundaries, but, if you don't want the attention, don't do videos? Taking a camera to theme parks bought you a Tesla. There are worse ways to make a living. Don't make videos about your fancy lifestyle and then complain about how you got there. (And then get upset when people don't like to hear it) . Just a thought.
I don't think he's upset about the people who voice their opinion online I think it's more of the fact that there's some certain people who take it offline and harass/stalk him in public. Yes, that comes with the territory with you putting yourself and your life online but it shouldn't have to be, you know? He's a grown ass man I think he knows where his money is coming from and he is not stupid enough to bite the hand that is feeding him
you are BY FAR my favorite 'disney vlogger' so it makes me sad that it's bummed you out so much. We'll still watch, no matter what. I also have leaned more towards universal lately - they are killing it!
We’re from Australia and usually do our US trips at either Disneyland or DisneyWorld and spend multiple days at Disney and only 1 day at Universal. The loss of the magic express and fast passes made a big difference in our recent Disney trips, because of your channel and the Universal coverage our next trip will be staying at Cabana Bay and doing 3 days Universal, we probably won’t even go to Disney (Which used to be the main reason we went to the US) Thanks for the content✌️
If you have an opportunity to go to Volcano Bay and get a cabana-DO IT! We have six people in our family and it is so much fun. We spend all day in the water park and it’s a blast. The cabanas offer concierge/ butler type services and it’s amazing. We’ve done this about three or four times now, and have loved it each time. We usually go the first week of Oct. it’s still hot, but not unbearable and the parks are not as crowded. Do some research, don’t go in the middle of summer, and watch all the UA-cam reviews on cabana bay and volcano bay. Worth it. Every penny.
@@fourlittlebirds6166Thanks for the tips, we’re looking to go the last 2 weeks of April 2025 and are doing some pricing based off this year. I know it will be spring break and aren’t looking forward to the crowds and prices but it’s the only time we can get off work and the kids aren’t in school..
One of the reasons I started following you was because of your authentic and honest approach to vlogging. Really appreciate you taking the time to open up on this and you know what mate, haters gonna hate, but don't let the b@st@rds get you down 🙏
Dev, thank you for keeping it SO real... it really is high value!! PLEASE CONTINUE DOING SO...! ...It's my favorite thing about your videos! ...AND I agree with your thoughts wholeheartedly.
As former pass holders, there’s nothing there to make us want to go back right now. The resort refurbs make us sad because it looks like Holiday Inn, we loved Magical Express and that’s gone, Genie + and Lightning Lane are so expensive for the family to go, the list goes on. Thanks for doing what you do and putting yourself out there. Wish you the best!
I just found your channel. I really enjoy it. I completely understand where you are coming from. Your life is your own and you have every right to protect yourself and your loved ones. There are a lot great things out there that we'd love to see. I enjoy your detail and your honesty. I found you through cruise vids and I encourage you to keep traveling and sharing your findings with us. Thanks for what you do! I'm a fan of you not just Disney World.
I absolutely understand your thoughts about WDW and the community in particular; I see a lot of the toxicity on social media primarily, whether Instagram or X. Same for in-person since I live very close to WDW. I appreciate your approach to your UA-cam content, Devin. Keep doing what you are doing, and happy belated 30th!
Thanks for your honesty but also professionalism. I agree that Disney world is not the same and not good vibes at all. Best friends of ours are heading to Disneyland this year for some of the same reasons! Do what is best for you. So sorry to hear all you have been through.
Wow Devin I had no idea you were going through all of that. It’s not worth it my friend. I really enjoy your Disney videos but I would never want you to go through that much stress. Life is too short. I definitely respect your decision. Thank you and Bianca for the time and effort you put in to bring joy to your viewers. Your lifestyle videos have been just as interesting as the Disney content. Take as long as you break as you need. You are definitely appreciated and I look forward to whatever you decide to share. Love you and Bianca.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Disney in general has been so exhausting. The company and the parks. Went to epcot a couple days ago, cosmic rewind an hour wait with VQ, once we get in the actual ride it breaks down at the up hill. Overcrowded, long lines, nah I don't feel the "disney magic" anymore. Universal for me. Disney needs to seriously do a 180 and change things up for the better.
I truly enjoy your videos & Disney has become so busy for the price. We moved to Florida so we could be closer to Orlando, but when we do go, we stay & visit Universal. I feel more like a person & not a number. Follow your heart, & it will show you the way. We love your transparency!
Hang in there Dev and continue doing what you do for us that enjoy your honest perspectives. Thats what drew me to your chsnnel. I can relate having been a Cast Member and guest to alot of what you're saying.
I agree alot has changed overall after the pandemic. A lot of people are very rude and selfish these days. Everyone spent to much time isolated. I feel like we’re all set up as a huge science experiment
It's really sad, you'd think it suppose to come the opposite, more compassion, helping hand...it's like nobody learned what to be grateful for.. what is nuts is people are minding their own business but sticking standing too close to you now when 5 ft was a thing in 2020.
You are not the first person that I have heard say that the Disney vloggers are pretty toxic which is so disappointing. I only follow a few DW content creators on YT and a few that are Disneyland ones. I'd be interested to hear if the Disneyland ones are having the same experience, or if it's really just DW. Sorry you have to go through all that insanity, sounds awful. People are not well and clearly don't have much happening in their own lives that this kind of behavior is happening.
I was born and raised in Orlando and worked at Disney from 82 to 84. It was a great time in my life. I have great memories of that time as it relates to my childhood. I'm SO sorry that you have had these bad experiences and that Disney has turned so toxic. It was never liked that. I have watched your cruise videos in particular and have enjoyed the content. Just be happy my friend! It's about you and your family!! Do what is best for YOU!!
Our family really appreciates all you do for the youtube community. We are really enjoying the Universal videos as we are new to that part of Orlando parks. Went for the first time last year and going back in June this year. We may need some encouragement to get on Velosicoaster😊
This is heartbreaking to me that you have gone through all of this not feeling safe and dealing with people while at Disney. And outside the park no one deserves this. I am sending positive vibes you live your life for you and no one else!
I’ve been watching you off and on for a few years and your new perspective is super mature and refreshing 👍 You go Glenn coco! Yay for healthy boundaries. It’s tough, in real life when you see vloggers, 9/10 times they’re self-centered, entitled, 0 self awareness, and are ruining the vibes for other guests. It’s a weird thing though bc it’s nice to watch Disney vlogs when I’m not in town, and I love getting the “scoop” and reliving the magic🤷♀️
its only been 3 weeks since your last disney vlog… you seem to do this every couple of months for the controversy. i dont like making these comments but there seems to be a pattern with these vlogs
playing devil's advocate: he did state that it hasn't even been a month since his last disney video and I don't know about you but I'm forsure not reading all of his comments so we don't know how many people kept asking for some Disney content with-in that time frame. After all that's how he got his start so, a lot of people are following him from that. The last time he's made a Disney sit down video (which is similar to this one) was 3 months ago which I would consider being different than his in-park vlogs. You could be completely right and this could be a pattern but bills gotta get paid buddy and he's a content creator at the end of the day
@@Chanelo12579 that’s very true. Personally I don’t really care for his universal content or just universal in general. I’ve actually gotten annoyed with the last few videos of his just being universal. And I agree with you, that’s why I said in my previous comment that he has bills to pay. Disney, especially right now, is very clickable because of the drama. We shall see what happens to his views in the up coming months if he is serious about not going to Disney frequently anymore. Also keep in mind he may not be getting paid a lot in views by doing universal content but we don’t know how much universal is paying him to do the content
Dev you’re spot on in every way with your analysis. The Disney message boards are full of toxicity and that spreads to the Parks imo. I was a AP for 12 years and I didn’t renew for the EXACT reason you mentioned. It’s repetitive. I’ve done everything and experience in the Parks and they aren’t evolving as Universal is currently doing. It’s a shame the things you have had to endure to bring us Disney content but know it’s appreciated. My personal opinion is that because Disney isn’t rolling out new parks or experiences very much when they do it’s a frenzy in content creator community and like you said it’s so cutthroat to be the first to post because it’s rare Disney gives the fans something new. You do and have done a fantastic job and I hope you can flip the script on those haters who try and bring you down and no matter what keep doing what you’re doing and do it in such a manner that you kill them kindness. Look forward to watching wherever your travels take you and your sweet family!
So sorry to hear this. I've been watching you for a couple of years. Im going to Universal this summer and have been enjoying your vlogs. Love seeing you with your girl too.
Dev every word you have spoken here is absolutely true. I so appreciate you saying hello to us at HHN Hollywood and Oggie Boogie; in just one year in this community as creator the amount of hate we have experienced is greater the a whole lifetime in the regular world. We appericate your brutal honesty and pray for the day that people can focus on love instead of hate, focus on building things up instead of tearing down someone else's home. Our hearts and prayers are with you. David and Richard
I don't understand. This is your channel. You do with it as you wish. Don't let anyone try and control the content. I've been watching you for years and I enjoy all the videos. Thanks again for all you do.
Wow...that's unbelievable how you have been treated. People are really losing it lately. 😒 I'm sorry you and Bianca are going through that. I love your videos.❤
I’m sorry to hear that. A lot of the Disney vloggers don’t like each other. Maybe it’s just the group that I watch, it seems like everybody was having fun at the festival of arts, but I have noticed in the last year that there are a ton of new vloggers. And I was curious if Disney was going to step in and make some new rules.
I'm here for this new turning point in your life! I went to Disney last fall and enjoyed it since we don't get to go down often but, you are completely right. I went to Disney World in 2018 and it was SOOO different. Was it crowded? Yes, but the magic was still there. Went back in 2021 with my mom and had an amazing time because no one was there lol but 2023 was just... disgusting. Poor management and people have no common sense or decency anymore, truly sad. Literally a parent let a kid urinate inside of a bottle because they didn't want to get out of line (the ride was down btw). You've made me realized what Disney World has turned into and I thank you for that. I really look forward to your content on this channel and on your lifestyle/vlog channel ❤
I gotta say I am a Disney adult and proud of it lol I love the Disney world environment but 100% understand about the people there and the vloggers. I have ran into multiple Disney vloggers and I’m fine with it most of the time. The only time it’s really bugged me is being on rides with some of them and they talk thru the whole dang ride while filming. Same goes for some of the locals ruining the experience for people who have spent so much on their vacation. If I ever see ya in the parks I’m buying you a drink cuz you’re one of the few who seem true
Your mental health is very important I absolutely love your content dev no matter what you post I’ve been subscribed to you since 2020 I’m so happy I’ve found your channel sending you so much love your way dev
I haven’t done this as long as you, but I can tell you already after two years when it comes to making content sometimes I prefer going to other parks and have more ideas, but going to Disney without a camera is still wonderful
Keep your head up, you always say it like it is , sorry your going through this.. Disney has disappointed me also .. hopefully it wakes up and go back to how they were in the past . Wish you the best
You make these videos like every couple of months. Just commit to it if you are - as a viewer I’m not looking for a video every couple of months saying you are “done” with Disney. Just don’t make the videos.
love your videos Devin! make the content that makes you happy and if that means taking a break from Disney then do what you gotta do your viewers will be here!
Hi PcDev. It’s almost at 2 AM from California I couldn’t sleep…… I watched your vlog about this and I completely understood and I feel you! I am here to make this simple and sweet do whatever you feel is right for you then go for it. Smile please don’t stop vlogs….. I love it so much I’ve been watched your many videos for 4 years since my first watched when it all shutdown in year 2020 that I never forgot. Dev! Keeping going what you doing ! 🤜🏽🤛🏽✌🏽😁
I guess it’s just because I’m such a small channel and I like to stay away from the crowds and people trying to be first, but I feel no negativity being at Disney at all and I’m sorry that is what it has become for you.
Hey Dev, I am so sorry that you and your family are having to deal with all of that off-camera crap. I found you through your Disney videos but I subbed for ALL of your videos. I'm looking forward to your future videos. Especially, Epic Universe vids next year.
Stay positive my friend. Take all the time you need. Excited to see what future endeavors await your channel. Praying for you and your family. God bless. 🙂🙏🏼
I visited Disney in may and October and didn't even notice any vloggers. I'm really sad that it's gotten so toxic for you. I really like your content so I'll see if something interesting pops up on your channel. Do what makes you happy that's what matters and that's what viewers want. :)
Oh Dev, this broke my heart. I’m predominantly a Disney Cruiser because I moved away from the Walt Disney World community as I agree it was getting toxic even as a non-blogger/you tuber! I appreciate your honesty. I find the cruise community a lot more inclusive and wonderful! If I were you, I would just do what you love, I think your videos are great whatever you do. I hope you feel better soon and figure it out!
Good Afternoon Dev!!! Good to hear your views. I 💯 percent agree and understand your views and opinions on Disney and disney vlogging. It is absolutely ridiculous any vlogger has to deal with the toxicity….its a shame….I am truly sorry it has come to this but after giving up hope it’s time to hit Disney where it matters… money 💰. Please 🙏 keep up the great work as I appreciate all you do for me in the general public. Bring on more Universal 😊😊.
Hi Dev, seriously, nothing with Disney is like it used to be. Even here in Disneyland, things have changed. Taking a break is the best thing to do. Recharge yourself and decide what you want to do. Best of luck to you. ❤
Disney is just not fun anymore the magic is gone and it suck 😵💫 And most Disney bloggers are just toxic and entitled always complaining about everything how the parks are to busy n blah blah blah is this sick competition of who is doing everything first which is pretty much the same I unfollow everything Disney on my You n one more UA-cam blogger is all I need Please keep giving us universal n cruise videos you and Bianca are amazing ❤
Thank you for your honesty! It really stinks that there seems to be many guests ruining it for you as well. Like you said, just be nice! Everyone is going through something and you never know what kind of day they may be having. Just be kind to others! Love your channel and look forward to your future content!
Totally agree about Chipolte - gone WAY downhill! Was at Disney Springs last week it was pretty cool! Long line at Gideons. Appreciate Ya - All The Best!
For me, I think there is to many vloggers doing Disney and ramming it down our throats. Need something different. Keep doing what you’re doing Dev and keep up the good work and keeping it real!
I love your universal vlogs, cruise videos and your lifestyle channel. Im happy you're able to shift and do what you love. Keep up the great content dev!
Yo Dev! I know it's easy to say, but other people's B/S just tells you a lot about them, and it's their problems. In my life (of 50 years) I have found that the majority of this kind of behaviour is down to either their jealousy issues, or just not being a very nice human. Ignore the idiots, and continue keeping your head held high,! Your great man! You always come across as such a nice guy, so I am sad to hear that you have had to deal with so many horrible people because you are a vlogger. Personally, I have always loved all your videos. I am a huge theme park fan so love Disney. Although I have had 17 Disney holidays, it can be difficult as I live in the UK so can only manage to visit Anaheim and Orlando every three or 4 years due to cost. However, on our last trip, it was notable how much more expensive everything was, and since we last visited WDW in 2014, the free fast passes were also gone. It was also notable that lots of effects on the rides were not working on Big Thunder, Buzz and Rise. Also, space Mountain has become so uncomfortable. Just after the lift hill in the first 1/4 of the track, there was an extremely rough bit of track where we both incurred mild whiplash, hence only riding it once. Due to our latest trip to WDW, and the direction that Disney parks are now going, we are sad to say that we will not be seeing Mickey for the foreseeable future, and to explore other parks around the world instead.
Much love to you thank you for always keeping it real and being honest with your audience, the crazy thing is since you stopped doing Disney I stopped seeing your videos being promoted in UA-cam which is kind of scary, but I totally feel what you're going through, if you ever want to talk to someone outside the bubble I'm here for you
Very well said Dev, can’t believe people would do the things they’re doing to your family and yourself, says more about them than you. Love your vlogs and your honesty.
Why would ANYONE pay MORE money for a WORSE product? That’s what Disney is right now & it’s as simple as that. The brainwashed super-fans will stick by it regardless & the corporation won’t give a damn. Huge respect for not being a walking mouthpiece & actually representing the average person’s feelings about the company today. Big love from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I absolutely love the content on your channel! You’re honest about the foods you tried, parks you visit and vacation cruises and destinations! I love how open you and Bianca are! And it sucks that this happens to you. I pray for peace for you and your family 🙏🏽
You have to do you and it’s a shame that so many people like you who are getting ridiculed about the way they do things….i personally love all your vlogs! Thank you for being so transparent, I’m a small channel that does unboxings and boy are those keyboard trolls mean! Looking forward to cruise videos! Going on our first Disney Cruise in December!
I’m just trying to understand why the world has gotten so hateful. You are one of the most positive bloggers I watch and I love it. I’m 73 and I work constantly to stay positive about life and everything that happens in day to day life. But as you are saying so many people just hateful and work at making life miserable not only for themselves but anyone they can. Please keep up the wonderful blogs you make
Dev! I've seen those haters online and to go out of their way to tear you guys down is horrible. You guys are doing great and ignore those haters. Keep on thriving!!
WDW changes over the few years have broken our hearts. Paying around $150 for a day ticket then having to pay to be able to get on a ride broke our spirit and desire to keep supporting Disney.
And it's worse than that IMHO. Not only do they want us to pay more to get on the rides, we are both supposed to wake up, on our vacations, in the middle of the night to grab key reservations. Then, once you get in the parks, we are supposed to spend the day with our nose in our phones trying to book more reservations. That is my idea of an ANTI-VACATION!!!! Most esp at Disney, a place I used to go to immerse myself in magic and escape the real world. Somewhere Walt is spinning and furious!
To be honest Dev, we just can't afford Disney anymore. We live in Pennsylvania and can make 2 trips down for 2 weeks at a time to Universal cheaper than 10 days at Disney. When Disney started charging parking fees at the resorts, the value resorts aren't even a value anymore. We watch everything you post because you have a great voice and personality. You engage your audience with the ability to keep us interested in whatever you're doing. Keep up the great work.
Maybe they will lower their prices once epic universe opens and starts taking their business. Have you seen the plans for Nintendo land? 😮 it’s going to blow Disney out of the water
I love that Universal let’s us out of staters still buy their lower tier annual pass (we’re seasonal passholders from MA) makes it way more affordable to make multiple trips to the parks.
@@TheGraduate702 Fingers crossed, as long as demand is this high the law of supply and demand will keep prices high as well.
Wow very sobering comparison speaks to me 2!
AGREED! We looked into 2 adults in February for Epcot. Nothing major happening…. With tax…. $184 PER PERSON, 1 PARK, 1 DAY 😡. Not including parking
Wow I had no idea all of this was going on! I really appreciate you taking time the time to be honest with all of us. You have gained even more respect from me! 😊
I’m so sorry your family had to go through what you did.
I am so inspired by where you are with everything. I want to say that I absolutely LOVE your cruise videos, especially on non Disney cruises. The cruise community doesn’t have a large variety of quality vloggers and it is so needed. I hope that if it works out for you and your family, that you can do many more cruise videos showing the different ships and ports.
I met you once and you were such a kind human. You were so excited to meet me and let me know I mattered to you and your channel. That kind of soul isn’t made it’s just who you are. You were so authentic.
Please never stop making videos at the other parks and especially cruises. I adore you and Bianca both and am thankful for all of your hard work. ♥️
I agree, I love the cruise videos as well!
Thanks Dev for your honesty. Disney is definitely not the same and hasn’t been in awhile. We are passholders from Ft Lauderdale area and used to go 4-5 times a year for quick weekend trips or week long vaca. Every time we go, we are craving that old time magic and end up leaving disappointed. Between crowds, over pricing, wait times it’s just not as enjoyable. I love Disney and we have so many family memories that I will cherish. Love your videos and hope you and family are doing well. Keep up great work!
I’ve grown up going to Disney and now into my adulthood I’ve been going annually too - and I agree it’s just not the same world anymore. It’s been tarnished and I think it’s so many little things that add up to one big picture.
Follow your heart, be true to yourself, and create what you love and what you are passionate about. It’s okay to step away and create boundaries with people and places that don’t serve us anymore!
Always appreciate your candidness! Thank you allowing us to be a part of your journey.
Thank you for explaining everything, but I honestly feel like you don’t owe anyone an explanation of why you’ve gone in a different direction for your channel. Keep being you.
If He's real about it, the more we respect him and his decisions and value what he contents us of Orlando and elsewhere.
It makes me mad that he’s being harassed like this. I hope at some point they make new rules to protect from this.
I absolutely 100% hear you. Way back in the day when the Disboards were a big thing, I participated in the Trip Reports forum. I enjoyed it. I like to write. I got a pretty big following. People seemed nice. They were excited to read each chapter. I made some really good friends whom I dearly love to this day. I loved having conversations with the folks commenting on my reports. Kind words, good wishes etc. it seemed super positive. Then it wasn’t. Right around my second trip report I found out that there was a whole group of people who were regulars on the Disboards, who had made a whole new forum specifically to hate on my trip reports. They picked apart and mocked every single word. Then I started getting threats. THREATS. From people who do not know me and somehow found my trip report writing to be so enraging that there were threats of violence. One person suggested “spilling my guts on the ground in front of Cinderella castle” would be possible. Seriously? My recounting of trips I take with my family in which there were no discussions of political affiliation, religion or really anything at all other than loving being at disney world with my family. That’s stupid. As much as I enjoyed the interaction with people who were being so kind and supportive, that kind of nasty toxic hatred for no reason other than to be nasty…nope. I’m out. Not worth it. I can only imagine the pressure and stress involved when you are making videos. People are just terrifying. I find the hating just to hate so baffling.
Dev I think you are great. I love the positivity you put out into the world. I love that you are calling out the nastiness and competitive hatefulness that exists within the disney vlogging community. It’s so crazy that people who are “disney fans and influencers” would be so incredibly hateful. Seems a bit opposite of the whole Disney affiliation. Either way, it is not worth it. It takes a toll on your mental health in a very big way. I’m glad you are protecting yourself from that kind of negativity. Not worth it.
You are awesome. You are loved. You are appreciated! ❤
This is so perfectly said!! 🥹
So sorry to hear about some of that - those aren’t “Disney fans” they’re just mentally ill abusers in an echo chamber since everyone sane left
The internet was fun for fandom for a while, now I really miss the world before it
People in real life tend to be a lot more kind for the most part
We are all thankful for the honest comments. The negativity of humanity is real. Take time out for yourself and return on your own terms, when you are ready.
Wow I have to admit I was fooled. I've seen some of the other Vloggers in your videos and never detected any animosity. I think you even did a joint video with Jojo if I recall a while back. Regardless, there's lot more to life than Disney - change is good.
Dev when I started watching Disney Vlogs you were the one I watched. You were great then and you still are now.
You always kept it real and you need to be true to yourself and that's another reason why I liked your content. Best to you and Bianca always. Peace out.😊
As someone who loves your Disney content, I totally understand ! Your mental and physical health and safety matter waaaaay more!
PS- I love all your content! I wouldn’t mind seeing some other theme park videos besides Disney & universal too. Stay doing you though! We support you! 😊
Take care of yourself first
I felt so compelled to write in. I wanted to personally from the bottom of my heart thank you for sharing your retrospective and candor of how you feel with the negativity and toxicity you have had to endure. It saddens me to hear and learn this. Upset for you, truly I am. Thank you for all of your hard work over these past several years and the amazing content and dedication to your craft that you have provided all of us viewers with. I can only imagine all the work, care and preparation that goes into each and every new project and posting that’s released. We love you man. Please keep your spirits up, your head held high and know we all have your back and will continue to support you unconditionally. Your transparency and genuine spirit is too be commended. Never change and enjoy life and those closest to you. I will be here as will the countless others to continue on viewing from a far on this continuing journey of yours with or without the regular Disney content and the haters can all just keep on hating. Everyone please be good and most importantly be humble. Much love and respect to you and all the real fans and family. - - Mike from Philly
💯 👏👏
I couldn't agree with you more. My family and I were in Orlando last week and we stayed for the first time at Portofino Bay at Universal. We went to the Universal Parks several days and it was so laid back and everything ran smoothly. We also went to Disney for one day, and it was so stressful and uptight. We were constantly on the dumb app trying to get on Guardians of the Galaxy. Lines were long and people cutting lines and just general craziness. I have been a Disney fan for my whole life, but now I feel the magic is gone. I am really enjoying Universal and what they have to offer. City walk was so cool and we had several really good meals there after we left the parks in the evening. I appreciate you and all that you do to share Disney and Universal with us all. Do what you need to do to have peace in your life for you and your family. You have a beautiful family and I really enjoy the cooking with Bianca vlogs. Thanks to you all!
We’re going to Universal in February & staying at Portofino. We love staying there. Universal is definitely a relaxing & enjoyable experience. At WDW it’s too complicated to enjoy it.
Ex Disney fans and converted Portofino Bay loyalists here! The UOR way of life is glorious.
Another great video. Very sorry for the conditions that brought it, but it's good to know you're sticking around!
This is my first comment here. I watch and enjoy your videos. It is sad to hear how bad Disney has gotten and I think you are spot on about no new Disney content. I am sorry you have had to deal with such nonsense and wish you the best in all you do. I will continue to watch your channel for the INTERESTING content and because your honesty is refreshing. Thank you
We love your videos dev. you were one of the vloggers that brought our love to the theme parks. Im very sorry you got the crazies after you, and its sad to hear that other vloggers are mean as well. Disney parks can be so increddibly stressful, and when the theme park lifestyle becomes a job, thats when it brings out the worst of people. keep on brother thanks for all of your content! looking forward to the next videos!
Dev thank you for your videos and honesty. We are from NY so we only visit Disney World once, maybe twice a year. I agree things don't feel the same as a few years ago. However, I do feel because we don't go often, it still keeps that anticipation and excitement fresh for us. There is always something new each time we return. That's why we feel like we are traveling someplace special each time because its not close to home. I feel that if we visited often, it would definitely burn us out too
Insane to think that you get flak for doing your work. Very sad to compare DisneyWorld (and society) today versus 15 years ago. Appreciate all you've done and totally onboard with your decisions!
I get most of what you said in this video, but I don’t understand how you can be upset with people taking pictures of you in a public place when you have built a career off filming people in a public place. Like you always say treat others how you want to be treated.
I totally understand, that is why we are Universal Studios people now.
We are Universal people too. We’re going in February for 9 days.
Me too 👋
Same we downgraded our Disney passes upgraded our universal w volcano bay included and still spend less that w one pass from Disney just two days at aventura hotel w Passholder discount fur 125 a night universal is such a better value
Same!
Us too
PCDEV you are so right about the toxic Disney environment! Don’t worry about the haters cause you have a community that enjoys your videos. My daughter and I love your videos no matter what the topic is. Keep doing your thing! ❤️
Who cares bout LA Knight
I completely understand! You are getting older and growing in new directions. That is a good thing! Blessings to you! And I love your sincerity and honesty.
Anything online with social media is toxic. I don’t blame you. Frankly, I believe it’s an overall societal issue - starts very young with kids and people do not know how to respect each other.
People have lost sight of how to behave in public (and in their personal lives).
“It’s nice to be nice!”
I totally agree 100 percent with your comment. People feel entitled to be rude and disrespectful its almost like the more disrespectful the better. That's why i dont like being in crowds or much on social media...
So sorry it’s come to this. You’re right. Things aren’t the same at Disney. I’m still a fan of yours. Take care.
Dude, so refreshing. You have to have boundaries and you have to stick to your values and my family have much respect for you for that
You should realize that you are growing. Emotionally ,mentally and worldly.
It is important that you realize what your boundaries are - and what you want to get out of your videos and time.
I have watched you for awhile - I have noticed your frustrations, but also that you are shifting your focus to your life. The positives.
Let go of the Disney distraction- and be happy.
You both deserve it.
Thank you
Thanks for sharing your feelings about this situation. I’m an ex cast member and an avid Disney fan. I remember the days of no internet or Vloggers saturating the parks. It was much more peaceful and laid back then. We could truly feel the magic with every show and attraction. Most of the Vloggers are annoying to me knowing how things used to be at Walt Disney World. I love your content and appreciate your honesty about the vibe in Orlando and I totally agree. Although I moved back to Michigan from Kissimmee, FL, Orlando will always be our second home. I will always love Disney for many reasons, they just need to pull back the curtain to remember what Walt’s vision and dream was when he started the Florida Project from the beginning. I loved meeting you and Bianca last spring. Keep up the great work!! 😊
Disney does not care anymore. They are about the almighty dollar and nothing else. I used to love Disney. Looked forward to every vacation, but will never go back. Everything is $$$.
I always liked your videos❤
100% agree! its sad . hopefully Disney will get the message.
They probably make their water bottles cost about $10
Dev, I’m so sorry. That must be so hard for you and your family. You have to do what is best for you. We will always support your choice. Sending love and best wishes 🇬🇧xx
You keep doing you. I originally subbed to your channel because you are different and nicer than most people who make Orlando content
My wife and I got to meet you once outside of Guardians and you were awesome. I love your honest takes on Disney and so I will very much miss that. Also your diet and exercise videos are inspiring. Thanks 👍
I have to be a bit of a devils advocate here, you have every right to complain, and yes, you absolutely need to have safe boundaries, but, if you don't want the attention, don't do videos? Taking a camera to theme parks bought you a Tesla. There are worse ways to make a living. Don't make videos about your fancy lifestyle and then complain about how you got there. (And then get upset when people don't like to hear it) . Just a thought.
I don't think he's upset about the people who voice their opinion online I think it's more of the fact that there's some certain people who take it offline and harass/stalk him in public. Yes, that comes with the territory with you putting yourself and your life online but it shouldn't have to be, you know? He's a grown ass man I think he knows where his money is coming from and he is not stupid enough to bite the hand that is feeding him
PCDEV don’t worry about the drama. Your doing great things and this is not an easy commitment to do all the time. I’m happy I found your channel ❤
you are BY FAR my favorite 'disney vlogger' so it makes me sad that it's bummed you out so much. We'll still watch, no matter what. I also have leaned more towards universal lately - they are killing it!
We’re from Australia and usually do our US trips at either Disneyland or DisneyWorld and spend multiple days at Disney and only 1 day at Universal.
The loss of the magic express and fast passes made a big difference in our recent Disney trips, because of your channel and the Universal coverage our next trip will be staying at Cabana Bay and doing 3 days Universal, we probably won’t even go to Disney (Which used to be the main reason we went to the US) Thanks for the content✌️
Universal is the way to go 🙂
@@therealventurescampaña is such a fun hotel the lazy river your are going to have a blast
@kellycarillo1859 I think it's my favorite universal hotel! The theming is amazing!
If you have an opportunity to go to Volcano Bay and get a cabana-DO IT! We have six people in our family and it is so much fun. We spend all day in the water park and it’s a blast. The cabanas offer concierge/ butler type services and it’s amazing. We’ve done this about three or four times now, and have loved it each time. We usually go the first week of Oct. it’s still hot, but not unbearable and the parks are not as crowded. Do some research, don’t go in the middle of summer, and watch all the UA-cam reviews on cabana bay and volcano bay. Worth it. Every penny.
@@fourlittlebirds6166Thanks for the tips, we’re looking to go the last 2 weeks of April 2025 and are doing some pricing based off this year.
I know it will be spring break and aren’t looking forward to the crowds and prices but it’s the only time we can get off work and the kids aren’t in school..
I enjoy your videos and your commentary. I understand the pressure and the intensity of being online. I appreciate all your efforts.
One of the reasons I started following you was because of your authentic and honest approach to vlogging. Really appreciate you taking the time to open up on this and you know what mate, haters gonna hate, but don't let the b@st@rds get you down 🙏
Dev, thank you for keeping it SO real... it really is high value!! PLEASE CONTINUE DOING SO...! ...It's my favorite thing about your videos! ...AND I agree with your thoughts wholeheartedly.
As former pass holders, there’s nothing there to make us want to go back right now. The resort refurbs make us sad because it looks like Holiday Inn, we loved Magical Express and that’s gone, Genie + and Lightning Lane are so expensive for the family to go, the list goes on. Thanks for doing what you do and putting yourself out there. Wish you the best!
You mean resort rerfurbs have lost their Disney uniqueness and now are simplified to the point where they look like any other hotel?
@@bluegold1026Mostly just the value resort refurbs. The rooms are pretty generic now but they’re still nice.
I just found your channel. I really enjoy it. I completely understand where you are coming from. Your life is your own and you have every right to protect yourself and your loved ones. There are a lot great things out there that we'd love to see. I enjoy your detail and your honesty. I found you through cruise vids and I encourage you to keep traveling and sharing your findings with us. Thanks for what you do! I'm a fan of you not just Disney World.
I absolutely understand your thoughts about WDW and the community in particular; I see a lot of the toxicity on social media primarily, whether Instagram or X. Same for in-person since I live very close to WDW.
I appreciate your approach to your UA-cam content, Devin. Keep doing what you are doing, and happy belated 30th!
Thanks for your honesty but also professionalism. I agree that Disney world is not the same and not good vibes at all. Best friends of ours are heading to Disneyland this year for some of the same reasons! Do what is best for you. So sorry to hear all you have been through.
Wow Devin I had no idea you were going through all of that. It’s not worth it my friend. I really enjoy your Disney videos but I would never want you to go through that much stress. Life is too short. I definitely respect your decision. Thank you and Bianca for the time and effort you put in to bring joy to your viewers. Your lifestyle videos have been just as interesting as the Disney content. Take as long as you break as you need. You are definitely appreciated and I look forward to whatever you decide to share. Love you and Bianca.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Disney in general has been so exhausting. The company and the parks. Went to epcot a couple days ago, cosmic rewind an hour wait with VQ, once we get in the actual ride it breaks down at the up hill. Overcrowded, long lines, nah I don't feel the "disney magic" anymore. Universal for me. Disney needs to seriously do a 180 and change things up for the better.
I truly enjoy your videos & Disney has become so busy for the price. We moved to Florida so we could be closer to Orlando, but when we do go, we stay & visit Universal. I feel more like a person & not a number. Follow your heart, & it will show you the way. We love your transparency!
Hang in there Dev and continue doing what you do for us that enjoy your honest perspectives. Thats what drew me to your chsnnel. I can relate having been a Cast Member and guest to alot of what you're saying.
I agree alot has changed overall after the pandemic. A lot of people are very rude and selfish these days. Everyone spent to much time isolated. I feel like we’re all set up as a huge science experiment
It's really sad, you'd think it suppose to come the opposite, more compassion, helping hand...it's like nobody learned what to be grateful for.. what is nuts is people are minding their own business but sticking standing too close to you now when 5 ft was a thing in 2020.
You are not the first person that I have heard say that the Disney vloggers are pretty toxic which is so disappointing. I only follow a few DW content creators on YT and a few that are Disneyland ones. I'd be interested to hear if the Disneyland ones are having the same experience, or if it's really just DW. Sorry you have to go through all that insanity, sounds awful. People are not well and clearly don't have much happening in their own lives that this kind of behavior is happening.
I was born and raised in Orlando and worked at Disney from 82 to 84. It was a great time in my life. I have great memories of that time as it relates to my childhood. I'm SO sorry that you have had these bad experiences and that Disney has turned so toxic. It was never liked that. I have watched your cruise videos in particular and have enjoyed the content. Just be happy my friend! It's about you and your family!! Do what is best for YOU!!
Our family really appreciates all you do for the youtube community. We are really enjoying the Universal videos as we are new to that part of Orlando parks. Went for the first time last year and going back in June this year. We may need some encouragement to get on Velosicoaster😊
This is heartbreaking to me that you have gone through all of this not feeling safe and dealing with people while at Disney. And outside the park no one deserves this. I am sending positive vibes you live your life for you and no one else!
I got my 1st Annual pass for a theme park last year and I went with Universal
I’ve been watching you off and on for a few years and your new perspective is super mature and refreshing 👍 You go Glenn coco! Yay for healthy boundaries.
It’s tough, in real life when you see vloggers, 9/10 times they’re self-centered, entitled, 0 self awareness, and are ruining the vibes for other guests. It’s a weird thing though bc it’s nice to watch Disney vlogs when I’m not in town, and I love getting the “scoop” and reliving the magic🤷♀️
its only been 3 weeks since your last disney vlog… you seem to do this every couple of months for the controversy. i dont like making these comments but there seems to be a pattern with these vlogs
playing devil's advocate: he did state that it hasn't even been a month since his last disney video and I don't know about you but I'm forsure not reading all of his comments so we don't know how many people kept asking for some Disney content with-in that time frame. After all that's how he got his start so, a lot of people are following him from that. The last time he's made a Disney sit down video (which is similar to this one) was 3 months ago which I would consider being different than his in-park vlogs. You could be completely right and this could be a pattern but bills gotta get paid buddy and he's a content creator at the end of the day
@@Chanelo12579 that’s very true. Personally I don’t really care for his universal content or just universal in general. I’ve actually gotten annoyed with the last few videos of his just being universal. And I agree with you, that’s why I said in my previous comment that he has bills to pay. Disney, especially right now, is very clickable because of the drama. We shall see what happens to his views in the up coming months if he is serious about not going to Disney frequently anymore. Also keep in mind he may not be getting paid a lot in views by doing universal content but we don’t know how much universal is paying him to do the content
Anyone remember Michael K? I think he felt the same way you do. He doesn't do Disney anymore. 😢
Dev you’re spot on in every way with your analysis. The Disney message boards are full of toxicity and that spreads to the Parks imo. I was a AP for 12 years and I didn’t renew for the EXACT reason you mentioned. It’s repetitive. I’ve done everything and experience in the Parks and they aren’t evolving as Universal is currently doing. It’s a shame the things you have had to endure to bring us Disney content but know it’s appreciated. My personal opinion is that because Disney isn’t rolling out new parks or experiences very much when they do it’s a frenzy in content creator community and like you said it’s so cutthroat to be the first to post because it’s rare Disney gives the fans something new. You do and have done a fantastic job and I hope you can flip the script on those haters who try and bring you down and no matter what keep doing what you’re doing and do it in such a manner that you kill them kindness. Look forward to watching wherever your travels take you and your sweet family!
So sorry to hear this. I've been watching you for a couple of years. Im going to Universal this summer and have been enjoying your vlogs. Love seeing you with your girl too.
Dev every word you have spoken here is absolutely true. I so appreciate you saying hello to us at HHN Hollywood and Oggie Boogie; in just one year in this community as creator the amount of hate we have experienced is greater the a whole lifetime in the regular world. We appericate your brutal honesty and pray for the day that people can focus on love instead of hate, focus on building things up instead of tearing down someone else's home. Our hearts and prayers are with you. David and Richard
I don't understand. This is your channel. You do with it as you wish. Don't let anyone try and control the content. I've been watching you for years and I enjoy all the videos. Thanks again for all you do.
Wow...that's unbelievable how you have been treated. People are really losing it lately. 😒 I'm sorry you and Bianca are going through that. I love your videos.❤
I’m sorry to hear that. A lot of the Disney vloggers don’t like each other. Maybe it’s just the group that I watch, it seems like everybody was having fun at the festival of arts, but I have noticed in the last year that there are a ton of new vloggers. And I was curious if Disney was going to step in and make some new rules.
I'm here for this new turning point in your life! I went to Disney last fall and enjoyed it since we don't get to go down often but, you are completely right. I went to Disney World in 2018 and it was SOOO different. Was it crowded? Yes, but the magic was still there. Went back in 2021 with my mom and had an amazing time because no one was there lol but 2023 was just... disgusting. Poor management and people have no common sense or decency anymore, truly sad. Literally a parent let a kid urinate inside of a bottle because they didn't want to get out of line (the ride was down btw). You've made me realized what Disney World has turned into and I thank you for that. I really look forward to your content on this channel and on your lifestyle/vlog channel ❤
I gotta say I am a Disney adult and proud of it lol I love the Disney world environment but 100% understand about the people there and the vloggers. I have ran into multiple Disney vloggers and I’m fine with it most of the time. The only time it’s really bugged me is being on rides with some of them and they talk thru the whole dang ride while filming. Same goes for some of the locals ruining the experience for people who have spent so much on their vacation. If I ever see ya in the parks I’m buying you a drink cuz you’re one of the few who seem true
Your mental health is very important I absolutely love your content dev no matter what you post I’ve been subscribed to you since 2020 I’m so happy I’ve found your channel sending you so much love your way dev
I haven’t done this as long as you, but I can tell you already after two years when it comes to making content sometimes I prefer going to other parks and have more ideas, but going to Disney without a camera is still wonderful
Wow, how terrible... I think you are amazing and do such a wonderful job on all your content! Keep shining your light Dev!!!
Keep your head up, you always say it like it is , sorry your going through this.. Disney has disappointed me also .. hopefully it wakes up and go back to how they were in the past . Wish you the best
You make these videos like every couple of months. Just commit to it if you are - as a viewer I’m not looking for a video every couple of months saying you are “done” with Disney. Just don’t make the videos.
love your videos Devin! make the content that makes you happy and if that means taking a break from Disney then do what you gotta do your viewers will be here!
Hi PcDev. It’s almost at 2 AM from California I couldn’t sleep…… I watched your vlog about this and I completely understood and I feel you! I am here to make this simple and sweet do whatever you feel is right for you then go for it. Smile please don’t stop vlogs….. I love it so much I’ve been watched your many videos for 4 years since my first watched when it all shutdown in year 2020 that I never forgot. Dev! Keeping going what you doing ! 🤜🏽🤛🏽✌🏽😁
I guess it’s just because I’m such a small channel and I like to stay away from the crowds and people trying to be first, but I feel no negativity being at Disney at all and I’m sorry that is what it has become for you.
Hey Dev, I am so sorry that you and your family are having to deal with all of that off-camera crap. I found you through your Disney videos but I subbed for ALL of your videos. I'm looking forward to your future videos. Especially, Epic Universe vids next year.
Stay positive my friend. Take all the time you need. Excited to see what future endeavors await your channel. Praying for you and your family. God bless. 🙂🙏🏼
I visited Disney in may and October and didn't even notice any vloggers. I'm really sad that it's gotten so toxic for you. I really like your content so I'll see if something interesting pops up on your channel. Do what makes you happy that's what matters and that's what viewers want. :)
Oh Dev, this broke my heart. I’m predominantly a Disney Cruiser because I moved away from the Walt Disney World community as I agree it was getting toxic even as a non-blogger/you tuber! I appreciate your honesty. I find the cruise community a lot more inclusive and wonderful!
If I were you, I would just do what you love, I think your videos are great whatever you do. I hope you feel better soon and figure it out!
Wow! Sorry to hear yet another regular person being targeted by toxic community!
I grew up going to Walt Disney World and the nostalgia is what brings me back, but it's losing more and more...
Good Afternoon Dev!!! Good to hear your views. I 💯 percent agree and understand your views and opinions on Disney and disney vlogging. It is absolutely ridiculous any vlogger has to deal with the toxicity….its a shame….I am truly sorry it has come to this but after giving up hope it’s time to hit Disney where it matters… money 💰. Please 🙏 keep up the great work as I appreciate all you do for me in the general public. Bring on more Universal 😊😊.
I would guess it has to do with because he was a former cast member who became successfull vlogger after and those at wdw rn are jealous of that.
Hi Dev, seriously, nothing with Disney is like it used to be. Even here in Disneyland, things have changed. Taking a break is the best thing to do. Recharge yourself and decide what you want to do. Best of luck to you. ❤
You dont owe us anything bro! Thanks for making the vlogs for us.
Disney is just not fun anymore the magic is gone and it suck 😵💫
And most Disney bloggers are just toxic and entitled always complaining about everything how the parks are to busy n blah blah blah is this sick competition of who is doing everything first which is pretty much the same
I unfollow everything Disney on my
You n one more UA-cam blogger is all I need
Please keep giving us universal n cruise videos you and Bianca are amazing ❤
There is much different they can make the video but vloggers since they do everyday end up making the same video same way talking same style...
Thank you for your honesty! It really stinks that there seems to be many guests ruining it for you as well. Like you said, just be nice! Everyone is going through something and you never know what kind of day they may be having. Just be kind to others! Love your channel and look forward to your future content!
Totally agree about Chipolte - gone WAY downhill! Was at Disney Springs last week it was pretty cool! Long line at Gideons. Appreciate Ya - All The Best!
For me, I think there is to many vloggers doing Disney and ramming it down our throats. Need something different. Keep doing what you’re doing Dev and keep up the good work and keeping it real!
I love your universal vlogs, cruise videos and your lifestyle channel. Im happy you're able to shift and do what you love. Keep up the great content dev!
Yo Dev! I know it's easy to say, but other people's B/S just tells you a lot about them, and it's their problems. In my life (of 50 years) I have found that the majority of this kind of behaviour is down to either their jealousy issues, or just not being a very nice human. Ignore the idiots, and continue keeping your head held high,! Your great man! You always come across as such a nice guy, so I am sad to hear that you have had to deal with so many horrible people because you are a vlogger. Personally, I have always loved all your videos. I am a huge theme park fan so love Disney. Although I have had 17 Disney holidays, it can be difficult as I live in the UK so can only manage to visit Anaheim and Orlando every three or 4 years due to cost. However, on our last trip, it was notable how much more expensive everything was, and since we last visited WDW in 2014, the free fast passes were also gone. It was also notable that lots of effects on the rides were not working on Big Thunder, Buzz and Rise. Also, space Mountain has become so uncomfortable. Just after the lift hill in the first 1/4 of the track, there was an extremely rough bit of track where we both incurred mild whiplash, hence only riding it once. Due to our latest trip to WDW, and the direction that Disney parks are now going, we are sad to say that we will not be seeing Mickey for the foreseeable future, and to explore other parks around the world instead.
Much love to you thank you for always keeping it real and being honest with your audience, the crazy thing is since you stopped doing Disney I stopped seeing your videos being promoted in UA-cam which is kind of scary, but I totally feel what you're going through, if you ever want to talk to someone outside the bubble I'm here for you
Keep making videos of integrity buddy! Amazing job!
Just to be clear, you don't like when other people take pictures of you, but it's Ok for you to film anyone who crosses your camera on the parks?
He’s not stalking ppl for a photo…. He’s not talking about people just walking by
@@CrownS-n-LessonS HEY, HOMER, YOU STILL HERE? BOY, YOU ARE SLOW.
Very well said Dev, can’t believe people would do the things they’re doing to your family and yourself, says more about them than you.
Love your vlogs and your honesty.
I just recently subscribed to your channel after watching a couple of Alaska cruise videos. They were fun and informative. Keep up the good work.
Why would ANYONE pay MORE money for a WORSE product?
That’s what Disney is right now & it’s as simple as that. The brainwashed super-fans will stick by it regardless & the corporation won’t give a damn.
Huge respect for not being a walking mouthpiece & actually representing the average person’s feelings about the company today.
Big love from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
If the average person's feelings were the same as yours, the prices would be dropping instead of increasing...
You are 100% correct about the Disney World community being toxic. I’m a local (Winter Garden) and it has gotten horrible lately.
I absolutely love the content on your channel! You’re honest about the foods you tried, parks you visit and vacation cruises and destinations! I love how open you and Bianca are! And it sucks that this happens to you. I pray for peace for you and your family 🙏🏽
You have to do you and it’s a shame that so many people like you who are getting ridiculed about the way they do things….i personally love all your vlogs! Thank you for being so transparent, I’m a small channel that does unboxings and boy are those keyboard trolls mean! Looking forward to cruise videos! Going on our first Disney Cruise in December!
Life has changed for the worse since Covid nothing is the same anymore.
I’m just trying to understand why the world has gotten so hateful. You are one of the most positive bloggers I watch and I love it. I’m 73 and I work constantly to stay positive about life and everything that happens in day to day life. But as you are saying so many people just hateful and work at making life miserable not only for themselves but anyone they can. Please keep up the wonderful blogs you make
Same issues in the slot community. We always love watching your videos because you are real. Truly appreciate what you do 🙏 Keep it up
Dev! I've seen those haters online and to go out of their way to tear you guys down is horrible. You guys are doing great and ignore those haters. Keep on thriving!!
