I’m finding it difficult to fully adjust to the new format of the videos, but I am willing to see where this new direction takes the channel and what the future holds. I miss the old style that focused on relaxed, personal storytelling. While the new format has its strengths and brings something fresh, it feels like a significant shift from the content. It has also been challenging for me to connect with the dynamic between you, George, and Megan. I can see Megan’s enthusiasm and energy bringing something new to the channel, but it feels a bit out of sync with the calm and reflective tone the channel had before. Her high energy, with more hype and frequent gestures, seems more suited to a younger audience, which feels slightly at odds with the atmosphere the channel previously had. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as change can be positive. However, at times, the dynamic between you, George, and Megan can feel a bit awkward. There are moments where it seems like you’re both unsure of how to respond to each other, leading to long, somewhat awkward pauses before one of you breaks it in an unnatural way. Additionally, Megan can occasionally become overly energetic, to the point where it unknowingly comes across as overshadowing, especially when you, George, or others are about to speak. In some cases, this includes interrupting people when they are trying to or about to talk, which can disrupt the flow of the conversation and make it feel a little one-sided. While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s something to be mindful of moving forward. I also have some concerns about the upcoming changes, particularly with the plan for Megan to take over the channel while you, George, are out of the country. It might be helpful for Megan to practice creating content on her own beforehand, with guidance and feedback from you or others who have experience in producing theme park-style videos. This could help her build confidence and bring her own unique style to the channel in a way that feels natural and engaging, ensuring a smoother transition. In addition, I think it’s important to give Megan opportunities to experiment with her style and approach to the channel. Allowing her to develop her own voice could help her connect with the audience and bring a fresh perspective. Gradually introducing her input alongside current content might help ease viewers into the change while still making space for her creativity. When it comes to editing, I understand it can have a steep learning curve. I don’t think it would be fair for Megan to be thrown into the deep end, especially if she has no prior or little experience. If that’s the case, I worry it could lead to a noticeable drop in quality, particularly with things like audio balancing and overall production. To avoid placing too much pressure on her to maintain a consistent standard for all videos, it might be best for you, George, or someone with editing experience to handle this for now. This would allow Megan to focus on learning gradually with input and guidance from you or others. That way, the channel’s quality stays consistent, and Megan has the time and support to become more comfortable with the technical side. I genuinely believe there is room for growth and improvement, and I’m optimistic that you and Megan will find your footing as the format evolves. I’d love to see Megan bring her own unique contributions to the channel while finding a way to connect with viewers.

SCOOTER BUG WAS A NIGHTMARE IN MY EXPERIENCE. Lousy machine, lousy customer service. I had a horrible experience with Scooter Bug a few years ago. The only good thing was the convenience of having it waiting for me at Bell Services and being able to leave it at Bell Services when checking out. BUT the battery drained super-fast. EPCOT is supposed to be the park that drains scooter batteries the slowest due to the flat terrain. My battery was in the red by 10:30 am and I had arrived at the park about 8 am. I called customer service and got told I needed to fully charge my scooter before using it. I had fully charged it overnight so at 8 am the scooter was as charged as it ever would be. Told her that. And it on and on in a loop of this Scooter Bug rep. telling me to charge it and me telling her I did. She would do nothing for me. I finally hung up and spent the rest of my trip having to take breaks to charge my scooter every couple of hours while at the WDW parks. More than once my scooter was so weak it could not go up the slight ramp onto the bus back to my hotel (Port Orleans French Quarter) and the bus driver had to push my scooter onto the bus. GOLD MOBILITY SCOOTER WAS A DREAM TO DEAL WITH. Very accommodating with getting together with me at my hotel (Port Orleans French Quarter). Ditto for turning the scooter in at the end of my trip. The Gold Mobility Scooter never got low on it's charge, even from early rope-drop till park close. I was on that thing from 6:30 am at the hotel till late at night, going all over the parks multiple times, park-hopping included. I also want to add that I travel solo to WDW for a week's vacation so I have no one to help me if I have a problem so it's super-important that I have a reliable scooter.

Merry Christmas.

Also why on earth would you ever want to take family back stage? It's kind creepy and typically smelled bad

As a former CM for 5 years I'm curious as to how accurate this is going to be

Did you get my Christmas card🤔

This is interesting, the KZbin app won't let me download this to watch offline.

Are there any youtubers that came to SDC you wanted to meet up with? Mainly travel vlogs or Rollercoaster vloggers?

glad to hear the Chip and Dale nuts incident made it into the pod. hillarious first time I heard that in another vid, and even better now.

Six tryouts? Man i thought I had determination by doing solo recitals when the uni said no. Respect. Also i still have that Canadian train and rides dropbox if you'd like.

This thumbnail frustrates me to no end. It just looks like he’s explaining something important and they’re just laughing their asses off like they can’t take it seriously 😒

As an aside, my daughter was at WDW a few weeks ago, and they both said the cast members there were super friendly and helpful, much better than Disneyland believe it or not! I think maybe there is hope after all!

Ive been wondering how genuine a lot of the characters and actors reactions I meet is over the years, if its part of the acting and being professional or if its genuine and honest. But I am glad it is, at least for the characters. J.

I apologize I forgot to finish the first part! 😂

Florida flooooats

I just got on with the Disney College Program and will be starting work at Disneyworld in Feb, I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the helpful information, its really helped me understand more what im getting into, and hope I can say thank you in person sometime soon. Best wishes, and have a marry Christmas to you

I have made a homemade autograph book. I have made it in such a way so the pages can be removed and replaced, therefore making the book reusable

Megan, have you met John and Amy Burton (TPF) or the BransonFam?

Really enjoying the comradery between yous and how things are going just as a suggestion maybe if he’s willing you could have Craig as a guest sometime

I thing i hope never changes is the "god bless" at the end of every video

Always enjoy your train videos! My kids love the train and always talk about that more than anything at SDC!!! Thanks for your videos

I enjoyed your video and I'm new to your channel. Thanks for the information. So, do you work at SDC anymore?

Hey I got a random question what is each of your favorite candy mine is skittles and this zoom caller presented excellent questions

Hey George (and Meghan if she wants) I have a dropbox of train and carousel photos (plus some extras of CWonderland for the curious). How would you like the link? Also this feels totally natural, love the conversation.

I love that your still going strong been watching your stuff for the last 8 years, love the silver dollar city railroad story’s, the best one was stealing the train from Devin your twin brother 😆

Yes there already complaining about how tablerock lake is going to disappear now that SDC is expanding this is from a bass fisherman and iam sure sec will have a lot of environmental study's done for the impact on the area they just need to take a chill pill and check out there inpacts on the area just saying

Bonus thoughts: 1) The talk overs were amusing and definitely felt like a Patron Zoom. 2) Meagan's singing is now confirmed 100% safe, yeah! 3) Fun interview and I hope funds grow to more comfortably cover you both!

Wow, Megatron looks fancy there - but I am a little biased toward the Sir Willow Hawaiian for some reason. 😎

Great video! Thanks for sharing, I'm fairly new to the channel, so why don't u work at SDC anymore? Retired?

And they should know that mulan is Chinese

I thought had a grip on my um’s, I think I need to work on that again😄

Try Mexican villa south in springfield

11:!5 - He's not gonna make it! He's not gonna make it!

They allow the first time you go after your birthday or last date before, to be when you “celebrate your day” - and they’re not allowed to check your driver’s license - so you don’t have to lie.

Got a cool idea for a video. Favorite live shows from the different parts uve been to

Happy early birthday Megan 🥳🥳🥳🎉👏🏻

Sir willow the Muppets are going to rockin rolar coaster area and monsters ink is going to Muppets area

Love your videos, Sir Willow

well this is interesting, good job on the video

I love that Minnie Itasha (upper right)... I guess it must be a gift from Japan

You'd think it's obvious that mickey is a boy that Pluto is a boy

Shatner?

I think it's crazy now that they put the wise men in the nativity in the manger scene cause if you read the bible you'll see that they didn't show up until the baby Jesus was in the house and called a child.

To me, what separates a "kiddie" coaster from an "adult" coaster is if it goes upside-down. I've found next to no roller coasters or rides only some classify as a coaster that doesn't go upside down. American Eagle at Six Flags Great America is the only ride I know of that is not a kiddie coaster or a Disney-type ride but is straight all the way through.

The Willows (Megatronia) runs wild. 😉😊(The Willows pres. Megatronia). Sir Willow feat. Megatronia/Lady Willow/Sir Willow+/Willowmania/Sir Willow and Friends/The Willownous Lady Megatronia/Lord Willow and Lady Megatronia Happy you found her that she can do it for you in the future will be cool to see and hear her doing News and such stuff.

Completely unrelated but with the 500-million-dollar investment at silver dollar city and only 100 million going to the new resort, do you think they will expand the FSDL? And possibly a bigger roundhouse to house number 13 / rebuild it.

Great video as always, Sir Willow!
