Yellow Dog Eats, about 20 minutes from Disney Springs. Really good bbq sandwiches and a really unique atmosphere and overall experience. It's in a really old house, in a nice area.

https://youtube.com/shorts/efnr9NQYzEQ?si=r215-w5VsREz7oht My knee-jerk reaction (no pun intended) is that so many people are wearing knee braces at Disney because Americans are insanely unhealthy and barely walk anywhere, so walking long distances that might be commonplace elsewhere in the world is a Herculean struggle for Americans. What do you think?

Most people have jobs where they sit all or most of the day so any amount of walking is difficult for them. I kind of never want to give up my active jobs because I can still walk miles around the parks, but when friends and family visit they get worn out quickly. Okay I feel like bitching about this, how the fuuuck can anyone enjoy watching the vlogger Paging Mr. Morrow? How is he one of the biggest Disney vloggers? I know "Disney vlogger" is a low bar but he has to be the worst. You can just hear the contempt for his viewers and how much he is forcing his enthusiasm for the parks every single time he speaks. He doesn't actually care about this stuff in the slightest. At least some of the vloggers do care. SweetMercifulCrap! fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Apr 19, 2024 |

Tbh the only Disney vlogging channels I can stand on a regular basis are DFB and Expedition Theme Park, and the latter isn’t really Disney centric these days. Of course Defunctland is great, but that’s not a vlog, nor is it Disney exclusive. e: oh, and Bright Sun Travels, his videos are quite tolerable and informative.

What happened to that nice blonde lady who I think used to be on AllEars but then she split off to do her own thing? The one who was super into min-maxing Genie+? DFB really does have the market cornered though, even if they are a touch mommy-blog for my tastes.

I never followed AllEars on YT, but I currently follow Mammoth Club, and I think I remember Molly mentioning All Ears? I'm not 100% positive she's the one you're thinking of, but she might be.

All Ears has been owned by DFB for years and years though. They bought up a good handful of them. I used to work as an article writer for DFB and frequently wrote for Allears under the DFB banner. Pay was garbage and it was absolute chaos but it was a lot of fun. Ear to Ear Magic is absolutely the worst rear end in a top hat next to Resort TV1 for in-park streamers and they're constantly on each others' streams. I usually have a WDW stream up in the background while I'm working during the day and they're the only two I hate having on. TelevisedInsanity posted:Once of my favorite is magic journeys, but only because I really just like the cross between food vlog and special events Magic Journeys is good stuff. There's a disability (mobility, primarily) positive travel agent who does a lot of disability at the theme parks videos and I can't remember who they are, but they're a lovely couple and talk accessibility in a way that makes it feel like they're not trying to be exploity, just helpful.

It's probably tech just being unreliable shite. I rarely broke 10k steps in the parks apparently.

There was one day where my friend and I went to IOA during the day and did HHN at night, did all the houses, and stayed until closing. We ended up doing close to 20 miles of walking that day according to both our counters.

My best non runDisney days were 52k steps over a 2 day period (Friday and Saturday of Star Wars opening weekend in Aug 2019). That’s 21 miles. I average 10-20k a day when I’m in WDW/UOR/DLR. I did 26k (10 miles) with my then first grader in one day back in June 2021, when we hit all four parks (when you couldn’t hop until 2pm). He still talks about that day with pride, he was a total champ and wanted to try it. My whole thing with the knee braces is - (as someone in the physical therapy world) it’s not as much as the amount walking vs the time on your feet. Standing kills folks more than walking does. Preemptive knee brace use for comfort / unloading joints isn’t a bad idea for folks with issues.

Omg yes! Let’s see what did we do (looks back at pics) It was a fabulous day. Started in HS, kiddo tried TOT and RNR, MMRR, and all SW things for his first time, then went to Epcot and did F&G snacks and rode the Skyliner for his first time, got snacks at Riviera to wait out a bad thunderstorm, then bused to AK, did Dinosaur 4x in about 35 min because no one was there and it was close to its closing, then went to MK, caught HEA, then did 7D in the sprinkle rain, and finished with photos on Main Street. He was 7 and happy as a clam at the end, and fell asleep on me on the bus back to GDT. Would I do that every time with him? Well he’s 10.5 now, so I think he might be up to it more, but probably only once a trip. Me, I could 4 park each day and be happy. I just like vibing in all of the parks.

Concrete is also hell on the body. A 5k on concrete hurts worse and longer than a 10k on asphalt.

My top for a 4-park day was 18000 steps and all I did was pop in to most of them for one last ride of a favorite ride or a quick snack. 26000 sounds even more painful. Doesn't WDW have some additive on some of their walking surfaces so it's a touch more springy than just typical concrete?

Some spots have that foamy stuff that’s pretty comfy to walk or sit on, but it’s mostly just raw rear end concrete.

I was just there and did 12 miles one day in my crocs lol. Feet and knees were fine but I was certainly exhausted the next day. Tho drinking around Epcot and then Boardwalk Piano Bar didn’t help.

I do between 18k and 25k steps a day at Disney and I'm a little tubbo. It's the standing that hurts. I can walk forever, but when I have to stand still in a line for 30 min, my back kills.

Both your magnificent effort posts came at a perfect time for me as well. Thank you!

Remember that if you're going to be there Thursay and you haven't bought Memory Maker but you already know you're going to want it, buy it now -- you have to get it at least three days prior to get the discount.

We went out of our way to take the skyliner when we didn’t have to - I’ll take the long boat rides etc - mainly because it’s part of the fun for me. Probably not for most people, but I enjoy it.

Travelling around Disney is loving great. When I visited first at 12 years old the parks started on the ferry boat across from the TTC. I'd almost go so far as to say they started at the trams from the parking lot, but those aren't quite so universal.
