Clue: put disney stuff on free over the air tv.

Quick and Easy with Facial recognition leads to entrapment unless you live in the land of make believe. Think about it❤

We were shocked how dirty and run down everything is a Disney now . Eating areas filthy garbage everywhere

So sad Disney sucks so bad now they are just living off fumes

As you know, been to Disney/Universal since they opened, and have witnessed first hand the many changes these parks have undergone - both good and not so good. With that being said, I have always been Team Disney over all the parks, without exception. I visit them all, love them all, but Disney has always been #1. Since mid-2000 (once IOA opened), Universal has become a favorite, but didn't really knock Disney out of 1st place - I guess you could say I appreciate both parks for what they offer as they are somewhat different parks - not that I find fault with Sea World, Gardens, etc. - all different, all have their perks. I think Disney started slipping (for me) when Harry Potter came into the mix even though Disney built Pandora, which I enjoy, Potter was simply - MORE. Personally, Disney started to slip when they re-opened after the shutdown. They cut too much, changed too much, and made a mockery of what they once stood for. I don't like the word "woke" - but their pushing of an "agenda" has really turned a lot of people off, and done damage to the brand. I have no problem with inclusivity, equal rights for all, etc., but when you push a man with a beard wearing a dress into the shop where little girls go to dress like a princess, I (and may others) have a problem. Regardless of someone's rights or feelings - that is not appropriate for children that do not live within that situation, and the parent has the absolute right to not engage. Slightly off topic, but I'm sure you see where I am going with this. Disney - to me - seems to be resting on its good faith from the past and resting on its past laurels. Even with their updates to the parks - and lets not discuss TBA - but they literally DESTROYED EPCOT - and gave the park goers nothing (except Guardians). Moana should have been water ride - not a walk through wet zone. They destroyed a beautiful fountain, and we got a corporate park that looks like it belongs in CA, with in-ground lights that sometimes work. Unless they announce something at D23 in a few days, Disney has no answer to Universal - and their remaking of Dinoland is NOT an answer, especially using IP's that are already old, and really have no place in AK. Universal is definitely - by far - my favorite park, and if you would have told me this would ever happen, I would say you were nuts. But there you have it. I do NOT want Disney to fail - I grew up on Disney, along with the kids, and now grandkids. Even the small ones want Dreamworks over MK!!! WHAT?!?!? As you mentioned, Universal shows their appreciation for their AP holders - MUCH more than Disney. As for their cast members, I have only EVER had positive interactions with both. The recent changes to Disney's DAS system though, has not made things easier. In fact, a friend that no longer was eligible for DAS, was told to get a come back time from a cast member, and the cast members were nasty about doing so. Ok - I flooded your comment section - apologies. Rant over, lol. I think I am going crazy being with my students in the Badlands of Dakota. Next stop - Grand Canyon, then home to HHN!! YAY!!! Oh wow - one more thing - friend just sent a video of a "dragon" over EPIC???? Did you see this - can that be real? Disney is turning in his grave. Be well.

Just got back from Disney I was a disgrace it cost 21 thousand for 4 of us for a week vacation it’s a waste of money and a rip-off

Boycotts. And they won’t stop. Leave them with their pedos.

Go woke, go broke.

People are boycotting Disney because the people who run Disney are predators and trying to corrupt children! The worst thing anyone could do is corrupt a child.

It sucks unless you got 1000 dollars to spend

I couldn't agree more my man!

Disney needs to add more of everything. People will pay for new experiences and rides. Splash Mountain never needed to be replaced. It apparently cost 200 million to redo into that trash adventure. They redo things without adding more of a footprint. Disney could be so much better

I just subscribed. You did a Fantastic Job with breaking down the differences between Disney and Universal. Keep up the Good Work. You are Going Places Thank You

Grew up on the West Coast moved to Florida 11 yrs ago. First trip to WDW and was like.... this is it? Its bigger sure. Few unique attractions. Animal Kingdom aside. DLR is soooo much better. I feel because the size constraints they are forced to be more creative maybe? The shows are way better and if there's a Disneyland version and a WDW version the DLR version 99% of the time is superior. Also the Cast members in CA just value the magic more whereas in Florida most CMs don't seem engaged and treat it as just a job.

The phrase "Disney has gone woke" is often used to describe the perception that Disney is actively incorporating social and political issues into its content and corporate practices. "Woke" is a term that originally meant being aware of social injustices, particularly those related to race and inequality, but it has since evolved and is sometimes used pejoratively to criticize companies or individuals perceived as excessively progressive or politically correct. When people say "Disney has gone woke," they typically refer to several aspects: 1. **Diverse Representation**: Disney has increased its efforts to include more diverse characters in terms of race, gender, sexual orientation, and other identities in its movies and shows. 2. **Storylines and Themes**: Some Disney content now includes themes that address social issues such as racism, sexism, and LGBTQ+ rights more openly. 3. **Corporate Policies**: Disney may implement policies and initiatives aimed at promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within the company. 4. **Public Stances**: Disney, as a corporation, sometimes takes public stances on social and political issues, which can be seen as aligning with progressive values. These efforts are praised by some as necessary steps towards inclusivity and representation, while others criticize them as pandering or politically motivated.

Disney employs several strategies to enhance the attraction experience for visitors at their parks: 1. **Themed Environments**: Every section of the park is meticulously themed, with architecture, landscaping, and music designed to create a fully immersive experience. Each detail is tailored to match the story and atmosphere of the area. 2. **Interactive Queues**: Many attractions feature interactive elements in the waiting areas to entertain guests while they wait. These can include games, touch screens, and themed decor that provide a richer experience. 3. **Advanced Animatronics**: Disney uses cutting-edge animatronics to bring characters to life in rides and shows. These sophisticated robots are highly realistic and enhance the storytelling experience. 4. **Special Effects**: From pyrotechnics to water sprays and synchronized lighting, Disney employs a variety of special effects to make attractions more exciting and engaging. 5. **Sound Design**: Carefully crafted soundtracks and sound effects are used throughout the park to set the mood and enhance the storytelling. This includes background music that changes subtly as you move through different areas. 6. **Cast Members**: Disney’s employees, known as Cast Members, are trained to provide excellent customer service and to stay in character, adding to the immersive experience. 7. **Live Performances**: Parades, stage shows, and character meet-and-greets offer live entertainment that brings the magic of Disney to life in a dynamic way. 8. **Technology Integration**: Technologies like the MagicBand allow for seamless experiences, from park entry to ride reservations and purchases, making visits more convenient and enjoyable. 9. **Attention to Detail**: Every aspect of the park, from the cleanliness to the hidden "Easter eggs" that reference Disney lore, is managed with great attention to detail, ensuring a high-quality experience for visitors. These elements, combined with Disney’s commitment to storytelling and innovation, create a magical and memorable experience for guests.

Yes, Disney does enhance the sensory experience at Magic Kingdom by using a technique called "smellitizers." These devices are strategically placed throughout the park to release pleasant scents, such as the smell of cookies on Main Street, the scent of citrus near certain attractions, and the aroma of fresh popcorn near food stands. This helps create an immersive and enjoyable environment for visitors, adding to the overall magical experience.

Disney is woke garbage!

Disney been dead for a while now. Epic opening is just making it official

WOKE, NOPE

Your a BAD ad we wanted them LESS crowded we won’t compete and we won’t waste time in lines for one ride THATS why baby boomers requested it and I’m the the doctor and you NEED a attitude adjustment we speak ONLY nice about all those things YOUR festivals kids and didn’t stand in line so leave we want your jobs now

Maybe it's because of the hundreds of pedophiles that they've arrested that worked there.

Universal isn't trying to trans the kids.

I honestly can't believe people still GO to Disneyland in 2024. The world is so depressing and expensive. Disneyland would be the last thing on my mind.

I called this years ago, when Universal announced Epic while simultaneously moving forward on updates to their parks, while Disney sat back and did nothing. Nostalgia is powerful, but it won't cover over disappointment forever, and most of what Disney has done has been almost uniformly short of what they promised. Meanwhile they keep increasing prices... yes, everyone is, but everyone else is at least trying to offer more for that price tag. I've seen better architecture and theming than that shameful Communicore redo at my local outlet mall. People will accept a mid experience OR a high price, but not both.

I like this conversational format once in a while. I think your statements reflect what most people are feeling. Disney is falling behind, and I don't see them responding to the shift in any impactful way. I just hope Universal doesn't start to take away the extra perks when they become the big man on campus.

very well said dillon

Im a universal girly through and through, but my best friend was a DVC member and another friend was a cast memeber. I got a chance to do disney for a day when i was at universal last time and the one day i had in Epcot was so hectic, crowded, and confusing compared to universal. And i never thought i would be able to afford an annual pass like universals but they make the flex program so easy and i've been able to afford my premeir pass 2 years in a row! its paid for itself after one trip and i go twice a year now and i cant imagine not renewing and i live in NJ! Disney is incredible unafordable for me

We are so excited for Epic!!! We’re wondering how Disney is going to answer also. It needs to be something great. We have lots of ideas 😂

Universal has always been number one to us. We are NOT Disney people. We of course did the Disney thing a few times when our kids were little. But never were impressed. Universal’s vibe is SO MUCH better.🫶 Our favorite family days are our Universal days.

I'm very impressed by Seaworld improving their park so much the past few years. They really want to benefit from Universal pioneers, while Disney has gotten too arrogant to pay attention. Definitely feels like 2025 will be the beginning of the next theme park booming era (assuming the economy doesnt crash hard)

We love both theme parks and brands but we definitely are looking to diversify our vlog content with the quality and new possibilities at Universal! Loved the video btw!!

Not to be critical, but you say “feel like” way too often.

Universal > Disney We visit 3 times a year from Iowa and only stay at Universal resorts. 36 days until we return woohooo

With the upgrades that Universal is making to older parks, all the new smaller parks being built and Epic Universe Orlando as well as Epic Universe UK, Disney should be quaking in their mousekateer hats....... But they dont seem to be. Thats crazy! I'm team Universal all the way, the mouse tried to bite me and im not sticking my fingers in their cookie jar anymore.

16:40 Never thought of that. I believe that is true. Disney experience is also very dependent on mobile devices

I use to do 1 year disney 1 year universal but I didn't renew disney and am much happier at universal. I'm a grown adult and my kids are grown so I'm happier with adult themes and universal is more adult to me. Parents expect disney to babysit and lack parenting, so yep universal all the way for me plus HHN rules!

Things will be changing. My honest belief is that future generations, born ≈2010 will later look at Disney as the cheap quality boring old parks. Even if they do an expanssion. For me, in my firsts visits, what made me love Disney was the incredible animatronics and entertaining rides. GMR, Star Tours, Splash Mountain even the carrousel of progress. But they all now are gone, extremely bad maintained or made mediocre transitions to Tianas or MRA. The first impression, getting a sincere "wow" from riding dark rides was what made Disney, Disney. New generations will not get that. As the best we have is a couple of animatronics which are horribly programmed and land perfectly in the "uncanny vally". As of today, I believe Epic will be the next leader and insipiration for many many years.

I agree, i went to Epcot yesterday and couldn't help but feel underwhelmed. Universal is constantly making improvements to their park while I feel Disney is content to stay in place

Epic Universe looks amazing!! Epic Universe could be a one week just by itself. I totally agree with you that Universal seems to take care of their passholders better than Disney.

Just so we are clear, we love the Disney parks, and we hope they succeed! It seems like the theme park competition may be starting again in Orlando 🔥 But that said, do you feel the tides are shifting, or do you still think Disney is still holding their spot?!

I hope you and Nicole can make it to California one day! While Disneyland has cut some, you can definitely still feel the difference and love there compared to WDW.

A Universal cruise line??? Now that would be epic!

Disney is no longer for families, sooo…

i wanna go so bad i might go next summer just moved to illinois from netherlands so coaster are so much bigger so excited

You didnt ride raging bull in the back i didnt watch the full vid though im at practice

been there it’s not even korean hotpot it’s korean style chinese hotpot 😂

People are broke! That's why. They can barely buy food.

Disney's betrayal of American values has cut Attendance. There are only so many transvestites, gays, socialists and perverts.

woke ness scared them all away....
