A Unnecessary Look at Disney YouTubers Who Film Your Vacation While Blocking the Castle View
We need to talk about Disney vloggers.
You know them. You’ve dodged their tripods. You’ve accidentally walked into their shot at EPCOT and now you’re immortalized in a YouTube video titled “BEST EPCOT DAY EVER!!! (Emotional)”.
They’re everywhere. They’re always “live.” And they’ve somehow made explaining how to mobile order a corn dog into a full-time job.
Every theme park vlogger comes equipped with:
A $900 camera they hold six inches from their face like it’s their newborn child
A voice pitched somewhere between “infomercial” and “midlife crisis”
A catchphrase no one in the world has ever repeated back to them
A suspicious amount of Tuesday availability (seriously, do they work?)
A crippling addiction to Starbucks tumblers and seasonal Spirit Jerseys
Bonus points if they wear mouse ears while reviewing barbecue ribs.
“What’s New at EPCOT?” — It’s construction walls. It’s always construction walls.
“Top 10 Disney Snacks You Have to Try” — Spoiler: churro, pretzel, Dole Whip, repeat.
“Full POV of It’s a Small World” — Nothing like watching bootleg nightmare dolls sing for 11 minutes straight in 1080p.
“$39 Character Breakfast Review” — Watch a grown adult rate scrambled eggs like they’re Michelin star cuisine.
Blocking the castle hub like it’s their personal soundstage.
Narrating Pirates of the Caribbean as if Johnny Depp hired them.
Taking 14 minutes to film a cupcake review while 12 angry families wait behind them in line.
Randomly screaming “SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON!” on Main Street like a deranged parade float.
Disney vloggers aren’t just filming rides. They’re filming you. Congratulations, you’re now unpaid background talent in “Best Day at Magic Kingdom (Gone Wrong).”
Here’s the messed-up part: we hate-watch.
We complain. We roll our eyes. We swear we’ll never click again.
And then it’s 1:32 a.m. and we’re six videos deep into “Top 5 EPCOT Bathrooms (Ranked).”
Because deep down? We want to know if anyone else had the same emotional breakdown in the queue for Frozen Ever After. That...and our YouTube algorithm is officially at the point of no return.
Disney vloggers are the pigeons of Walt Disney World. They’re everywhere. They’re loud. They’re filming themselves eating fries.
And yet — we can’t look away.
Without them, how else would we spend our lunch break watching shaky footage of Space Mountain narrated by someone gasping for air after walking from Tomorrowland to Fantasyland?
Disney vloggers: simultaneously the worst… and our guilty pleasure.
Because blistered feet, swampy socks, and $18 Disney flip-flops aren’t a core memory worth keeping.
