Yes, this is a 4 hour long review of a hotel that's already closed.

I had never heard of her. I do not watch influencer videos. I do not like influencer videos and suspect I would not like them personally. The 4 hour long runtime clearly indicated I would not be watching it.

I am now a subscriber and big fan of her work!

The cascade of bad decisions by Disney was so enjoyable to hear about and her experience with 'Disney magic' was so very relateble. I too have been placed behind inexplicably large columns, felt the arbitrariness of the 'experiencing the magic', and spent far too much money for the privilege of standing in sweaty lines in the Florida heat.

I feel bad for the people involved that really wanted to make something great but were crushed under the weight of corporate ineptitude. I personally knew someone who went, refused to say how much they paid, and refused to talk about their experience. Now I know why. Excellent video. She's like the NeverKnowsBest of theme parks.

I'm curious and confused on the "influencer" part. My understanding was influencers are just people with "popularity" (manufactured users usually) pushing products in a "native ad" sort of way, never attributed it to general youtubers unless there's something about the creator I'm unaware of.

I used the term loosely to include the average "YouTuber", a term I hadn't thought of. I tend not to watch any of them.

To be fair she does actually lightly use the word in this video to describe herself, but only in order to describe how Disney as a company might view her.
