Saw someone with a selfish stick I’m Epcot last week. Don’t know if security did anything. But, she absolutely could have used the “don’t speak English” excuse.
Good, they need to crack down on it unless the person has prior written permission. Now Disney will often give permission if you ask for it, but it is at their discretion and you have to agree to their rules to get the permission, which they can then revoke their permission if you break the rules.
People joke about how bad it is to get on Smugglers run with a kid in the front seat, but every kid I have ever flown with was 1000x better than the livestreamers I get stuck with. Ban livestreaming in the parks already. It is 100% commercial so it can be banned without changing the rules.
Some vloggers are doing a service to Disney and providing useful information to families planning a visit. As with all things, there’s always the Uranuses ruining it for everyone. Sorry Pluto.
Ahh you must be one of the unemployed who call themselves a “vlogger” and are trying to justify not having a real job. News flash, no one would miss or go uninformed if you didn’t vlog something
Videoing/picture taking with camera/phone is okay. The selfie sticks…no. They could be considered a weapon, and should not be allowed. Permission should be needed if videoing for vlog, TikTok, or YouTube. Showing for family/friends is okay, a long with showing others about parks, etc., in case they may want to visit someday.
Good for Disney! Every time I’ve taken my family to Disney land or Disney world lately there have been tons of “content creators ” monopolizing space, time, and enjoyment of the rides.
Disney is missing out on royalties! If the tictokers, streamers,vloggers etc. Are posting and making $$$$$ on some website, then Disney should get a cut of the cash. The influencers are cashing in on the backside without permission!, I would think that Disneys lawyers would have a field day!!!!
OK, but I think you’re forgetting that Disney is benefiting off of these longer because the more popular than longer is the more followers they have. They are influencing people who follow them to come to disney events to buy a magic key pass to buy tickets to spend money at downtown Disney. These influencers definitely are getting their followers to spend money at Disney so I really think that Disney is benefiting in a big way without having to monopolize charge them for a permit or get their lawyers involved. In the matter of fact I don’t even think Disney could be in the mall together there’s probably some sort of loophole that talks about how they are can’t just ban people from using their cameras or their phones, because every Ron who is coming to Disney brings a camera or a phone and they can’t police what everybody is doing with their stuff how would they do that? They would have to ban everybody with a phone or a camera it just wouldn’t work.
The long lines and endless bag checks are because of people like this. I’m so glad Disney is doing something about these people who don’t have a real life but the commotion it’s going to cause will suck. Whats that old saying, you can’t have anything. Well this is why. because those of us that want to record memories for ourselves will be hampered by the rules because of the people who are abusing the rules. Like the dress code thing. Before you would be given a shirt but now you’ll be turned away. Thanks inside the magic for the heads up and help us keep these rules under control.
I watch a streamer who posts from Disney World regularly. During the pandemic, it was a lifesaver for me – offering me moments of normalcy, and hope to return to it. I never was a big fan of Epcot, until I watch the videos from Epcot and saw all that I was missing. The videos made me want to return to Disney World. And I Have taken three trips in the past year and a half because the streams make me long to return “home.” I PRAY that they do not stop my streamer from sharing Disney World with me. It is a wonderful service to have and it is a great advertisement for Disney. Judge the streamers by their content- I know Disney would agree with the value of sharing their magic with those who love their parks and plan trips because these streams keep the fire of interest and excitement burning.
I’m a native Floridian who takes exception to your remarks about WDW. You are a typical entitled spoiled brat who feels like the World owes you whatever you want. Disney has rules and expects guest to abide by them. If you can’t do that then stay home.
Well when people are exploiting theme parks for personal gain that is actually fringing on copyrights. So I totally agree with Disney and I believe it’s disruptive to families that are vacationing and have to deal with the situations of loud obnoxious people! These social media so called stars have gotten out of control in the past years. Most are very good people but some are selfish and obnoxious
But if that were true then why does Disney invite him out Kyle Paulo all the time to their events? They just recently invited him to their room, Disney event and paid for him to stay at the animal kingdom and they’ve invited him out recently for either of us to I just can’t think of what they are but they definitely like him and they invite him out. I’m not saying you’re not right about him. He definitely could be a way more informative than what he is but JoJo has like over 1 million subscribers, I’m not sure why because I don’t watch him but I do watch Kyle Paulo and he could definitely be more informative and he doesn’t need seem to know a lot about what’s going on even though he’s always at the parks all the time but people do you like him and Disney likes that because it brings more people to Disney so they’re definitely getting something out of these bloggers and I don’t think that they’re going to block them anytime soon especially if they’re inviting them and giving them gift cards etc etc..
Good! These people ruin everyone else’s experience. It’s rude. We all pay a lot of money to get there and enjoy the ambiance, it’s probably the only trip for many. To put up with a blogger standing around blocking lines, talking loudly on rides, using flash or disrupting the storylines is annoying and sometimes not safe. Go film the national parks or a trip to New Orleans. Better yet go vlog about something important like homeless, trash filled streets, crumbling infrastructure or a real trek up a mountain.
Good! The rule is that guests are not allowed to do anything for commercial purposes in the parks. Shooting video, taking photos, or giving tours — when done to earn money in any way — are all prohibited. Disney reserves the right to restrict the use of their property to non-commercial use by guests. It’s their right, since Disney property is private property and the rules are agreed upon by guests when purchasing a ticket for admission.
I’ve actually been told I couldn’t take photos in one of the theme parks. Back about 20 years ago, my son got engaged. I’m a professional photographer, so I offered to do some engagement portraits in Epcot. We showed up at the turnstiles with my medium-format portrait camera (this was back in the days of film cameras) and I was told I couldn’t take commercial photos in the park. I let them know that I was just taking photos of my son and his fiancée and wasn’t charging any money. The cast member at the turnstiles got a manager to make the decision, and I was not allowed to bring the camera into the park. I took the big camera back to the car and came back with a smaller camera and didn’t have any problems getting in.
So Disney has been doing this for decades. It’s not new.

Good, maybe these people need to get real jobs like the rest of us.

Sorry I meant to say they invited him out to run Disney event which is posted up in his channel now

Disney uses them all the time. Tim Tracker is a prime example. They selectively let people continue as long as you have a huge audience
