That is some...wild poo poo. I've met them a few times, and always found them pleasant, but then I heard rumors they were super stand-offish when they would meet black fans in the parks, and that didn't quite sit well, and now this comes out...Welp.

I'd always seen a lot of the criticism that was thrown at them and some of it seemed to have basis and other parts of it seemed over the top. I really don't care what sort of house they live in and what sort of car they drive. There's also this segment out there who seem just so over the top in what they say with some pretty awful stuff about how they parent all the way to wishing ill on their kid which is just loving awful. Despite all of that man the full extent of this is pretty damning and awful. I regret my initial post and should have investigated further. Ugh.

Vloggers and influencers all seem like miserable people with awful lives because of that bullshit and the never ending drive to monetize every aspect of their lives. In this case it seems like that just caught up to them.

They do Disney stuff but they also focus on their kids who are home schooled. The oldest is a tween or young teen who wants to break into acting and the whole thing is just a little too creepy for me. There are going to be some hosed up families that emerge from this whole thing, both in terms of having your life online but also the relentless grind to put out content. It's been sad to see how desperate some of them have become with the parks closed. TLDR: Don't put your whole loving life on YouTube.

lmao never heard of them but I was curious if they were related to Colleen Ballinger and yep (which also explains why their seemingly garbage content has over a million subscribers). She also just had a big drama bomb when an underage fan came forward about inappropriate contacts she had with him for years when she was married and sending him lingerie as a joke(?). loving social media was a mistake. Burn the internet.

Good gravy. Okay to get us back on topic and before I take a long shower to wash the horror off of me... The NBA will be descending on WDW starting in July! No idea how much of an impact it's going to have on the overall resort but it sounds like they'll be staying at Coronado Springs. Makes sense given that it's new, has plenty of space for meetings, press junkets and all that jazz. They'll be playing at the Wide World of Sports so I imagine that whole area is going to be locked down to all hell.

Obviously you have to have some social disorders to be an influencer but what possible reason would anyone have for watching their content? Literally anything else you can do is a better use of time

I have the day off so I'm at Disney Springs. No lines to enter World of Disney today and no lack of Baby Yoda merch. https://twitter.com/cchard/status/1268978128510214146?s=21 https://twitter.com/cchard/status/1268979790469632007?s=21 About half the locations are still closed.

The good news is that I've seen a lot better mask compliance at the Springs today. Only one couple stood out to me. They looked to be late teens early twenties and they were just walking around with no masks in sight. I saw them get denied entry to World of Disney before they went off a different way then I did. Not sure how they even got passed they entry screen without masks.

I was there on the 28th for my birthday and it was probably 90% mask compliance. The only people removing them were in the less populated areas where they must have figured it was okay.

I wondered the same thing. I was there yesterday as well, and I thought compliance was very good. We took ours off only when drinking and when we had lunch at WBG. I saw a few random couples without masks, but the majority of those had drinks in their hands. One or two couples had no mask and no drink. I did appreciate the banter of the First Order troops, and was pleasantly surprised one of them was a female.

It was a timed edition unfortunately on Gallery 1988 for 3 days back in April https://hasunow.com/tiki-bars-across-the-usa-1 https://nineteeneightyeight.com/ Maybe there's some floating out there or the artist might be selling some if you reach out? https://www.etsy.com/shop/hasunow

I just caught up on all the TimTracker drama... poo poo. I stopped watching them a while back when they started doing too many food reviews. Their vocabulary to discuss food, its preparation or the sensations of the bite and taste were amateurish, at the best of times. So it became more annoying than entertaining. Anyhow, onto actual timely events - Due to COVID, is there any speculation on what WDW might do for the Magic Kingdom 50th anniversary next year at this point? We were planning to do a big family trip so we could all go and my daughter would just be old enough to actually appreciate any of it. But if it's just going to be some branded merchandise and not much else, we'll probably plan to take the whole crew to Disneyland instead. I've never been there, and my father-in-law is originally from somewhere in SoCal and wants to revisit the park one more time.

I've only heard it from Jim Hill on the Disney Dish Podcast, so take it with a grain of salt. But he alleged that the original plan was to run the anniversary for over a year, starting January 1st 2021. And now it might be that it will start on the Magic Kingdom's actual opening date on October 1st. And a number of rides that were planned as part of the year long celebration like Tron and Guardians of the Galaxy will likely have to open up either late into the event, or after it. So far, it sounds like the only one that might make it under the wire is Ratatoulie.

From what I hear Ratatouille is essentially ready to go, ride-wise. Where they stalled was the new land expansion, so I would imagine we'll see it pushed to 2021 just because of that. Maybe very late 2020 if they are willing to do a big ride opening in these social distanced versions of the park.

I'm going to keep an eye on it, because if there isn't much new or special happening around the 50th, I don't see any reason to prioritize a huge family trip around it. We're still over a year away from the true 50th anny, and a lot can happen. I hope.

Some questuonable opinions from Disney forums on campaign to retheme Splash Mountain. "Disney just doesn't have any money to do it! That's the only reason I don't like the idea!" https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/renewed-push-to-retheme-splash-mountain.965531/ user named Brer Oswald posted:A waste of money. A waste of time. A waste of effort. You can kiss your Imagination refurb goodbye, as well as anything else that was being considered to be added to the parks after guardians.

Splash mountain is my favorite ride and I love bree rabbit but I would be okay with a princess and frog make over, although we all know that we'd end up with something more mainstream

I think the princess and the Frog idea would be perfect, but in the same breath I don't think it's necessary to retheme splash mountain. The ride has distanced itself quite a bit from the source property, enough that I think it has become its own thing. That said, I wouldn't go chaining myself to the ride/tearing up APs/having public meltdowns if they decide they want to move on from the current theme.

Man y'all got hella mad at me when I said they should re-theme Splash..... That being said, I am way more in favor of them changing it to A Goofy Movie than Princess and the Frog. Though I love both movies and would love to see either. I just love A Goofy Movie so much and it feels a little more in line with the Critter Country theming. But I *love* the idea of retheming the Tarzan treehouse in Disneyland to Princess and the Frog. It would be a great transition from Adventureland to New Orleans Square.

I would be shocked if they changed Splash and not because they're scared of backlash, but they're seemingly entirely against admitting former issues and more concerned with portraying themselves as good now.

Some fuckhead on twitter thinks we should re-theme it to pocahontas and I've been yelling about that for 45 minutes because gently caress that. Brother Bear has its problems too. I don't think Fox and the Hound would work. I'm sure we could do something with Toy Story but wow that's a lot of Toy Story stuff, then. I still really like the way WB released their old, lovely content with "hey this poo poo is wrong" and not shying away from it and I wish Disney would do the same.

alg posted:also nobody knows Splash is song of the south themed unless someone tells them Not to mention half the theming is animatronics from closed down attractions, rather than Song of the South characters. The dumbo ride has as much connection to racism in the Dumbo movie as Splash does to Song of the South - everyone who knows about the connection to racism knows the depictions in their respective movies were racist and bad, and everyone who doesn’t know about the connections won’t be exposed to any racism by going on the rides. Edit: re-theme Splash to Emperor’s New Groove please
