About us: The origin story of Princess and the Bear

[@PrincessandtheBear]

Thanks for sharing this KZbin journey with us! We're happy to answer more questions in the future.

[@RachelleMorgan]

Anyone else always sing Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday with princess at the end of all the videos too? Or is this just a me thing? 🤣😂😍😍

"Awkward, but nice." - I am right there with you!! I actually don't think you seem awkward. Have waved hello at you a few times in the parks. I am only there about once a month. My husband is there about once a week, and has a podcast; and recently got back into camera work and started to learn video editing, so he has added videos to his podcast channel. I appreciate you both!! Hopefully, you start making some coin, because you are creators and influencers, doing a lot of good work and spending your own money! The parks ain't cheap! They are worth it, but it does cost money. Would be nice to see you all make some returns on the great stuff you are putting out in the world. ✌️💕

[@RachelleMorgan]

Yeaaaa I vote for coming to the Ga aquarium!! 😝 might be for selfish reasons but definitely need a video of it. 😂

[@SuperEnthused]

This was so nice to get to know you guys better. We actually have a lot in common! Really enjoyed watching this and I was always eyeballing all the ears the entire time haha! Also filming in Disney restaurants is the bane of trying to vlog at WDW! Always SO LOUD!!! I struggle w it too and try to edit around it and do my best but still always tweaking and trying to improve w each vid - so totally related to that too!

[@TheDisBeat]

Totally excited for a future Georgia aquarium vid

[@thomasmathis2370]

Hi P&B! Thanks for opening up a little. I’ll share a little also. I had a heart attack about a year and half ago and found you two and have helped me smile while I recover. The doctor let’s me have a drink or two a week and because Bear and I drink roughly the same things it helps when I want someone who enjoys like me and Princess you have helped me understand what Vegan really is and what benefits it has for me….. my doctor loves that I’m learning. I love that you guys have made this channel a commitment in your life and I get to enjoy it along the way. Nerdy as you call yourselves still means fun. Continued success and I’ll be here for the ride. 👍👍

[@mrsmagicalmonica]

Thanks for doing this video. I love Princess’s spirit jersey. Would enjoy seeing a GA Aquarium video. You guys are amazing. I appreciate you both. 💜

[@mzpbnj8812]

Should have put glow cubes in his glass! hahaha And I was stationed on Guam. Tell Bear, "Hafa adai!" As for the haters, just throw some of your glow cubes at them! Those of us with taste love y'all

[@poohlover3996]

Great video. Never understood why your channel hasn't blown up more than it has. Most entertaining Disney channel in our opinion. Keep up the good work.

[@princesspaulabelle]

I love all your ears. Glad to see more vegan and vegetarian opinions as I'm not having it with meat. Love the food reviews they are great. Nice to get to know you both.

[@JenJoe2002]

I love your videos! I want to add that whenever you see me and my son you both make it a point to make us feel welcomed. Getting a hello, how are you?, just makes my day. Bear thank you for including my son in some video game conversations. He was so excited the first time he met you guys. He went home and told everyone that he met “KZbinrs, Princess and the Bear”! Thanks again for sharing what you both enjoy with all of us!

[@lilbabyspookybatz9189]

Wow this video made me love u two even more. We have lots in common!

[@itskylelucas]

This was great! Your videos were a huge help in making my trip to Universal successful. Being a vegan coaster enthusiast whose home park is Six Flags…I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to eat on my birthday trip but you helped me find some hits! Every time I go back to Six Flags I find myself dreaming about Universal’s vegan food 🙃😭😂

[@PrincessandtheBear]

Hopefully one day Six Flags will catch up. Bear actually used to work at Six Flags Great America when he was younger and I frequented Six Flags Magic Mountain a lot. Would love to visit any of their parks for good food. 👸

[@itskylelucas]

@@PrincessandtheBear Hopefully one day… Six Flags Great America is actually my home park, and it’s currently a very sad state of affairs food-wise. Every time they send out a survey I’m pushing vegan food.

[@PrincessandtheBear]

@@itskylelucas Thank you for doing the good work for the vegans! We need more people asking for vegan options.

[@martamartinez2727]

I’m vegan but my husband isn’t so your channel is perfect for me. Also we go to Disney a lot during the year ☀️🙌

[@Eksgoose]

Really enjoyed this! My husband and I found you during panini and it’s fun to live vicariously through your videos. We save all of them to watch together over the weekend now that we have caught up. We’re both vegetarian, so it’s great to see all the options available for us when we can make it back to the parks. Also love all the drinks! (Which are sometimes more important than the food!)

[@georgelett8317]

Appreciate you two lovely people sharing your story. Keep up the great reviews please. One day I'll see you in the parks and wave 😊

[@shellslayer]

Just came across this video & was so lovely to get to know more about you guys :) Love your content & it's so helpful with my upcoming trip planning. Even when I don't have a trip planned, I love to watch & see what's new. I'm super awkward as well, so hope to bump into you both at some point and say an awkward hello!!

Thank you for this. It is very interesting. I have sadly guessed that you have not made a fortune from KZbin. As a person who goes to Disney with vegetarians I was first interested in your food choices but I enjoy eating your videos…especially during the pandemic. Because I am older and have some health issues, I am afraid to return home.

Loved this video! Thanks for all of the insight into the channel. We aren’t vegan, but we are equal opportunities eaters and love your videos. We have definitely been eating more vegan meals since we started to watch you. I also appreciate you saying you would be awkward when fans approach. We are awkward ourselves so we never approach our favorite influences if we see them. That might change if we see you in the parks! Thanks for all of the videos, the content is amazing and they are much appreciated!

[@PrincessandtheBear]

Aww we appreciate that! Hope to see you in the parks. Definitely come say hi if you see us!

[@sgtmayhem]

Many questions answered! Y'all make it look so easy, but we know it's not logistically. I like the mix of content as well as the Vegan vs non-Vegan. I'm an omnivore, but having traveled the globe for a couple of decades wonder what's available in the Orlando area. I've had lots of horrid vegan substitutes and I know there's good stuff out there because I've had it outside the US, just not mainstream in the US. Weird is in the eye of the beholder, most of us are uniquely different.

[@thablackpanther420]

It would be a dream come true to me if I happen to see you and would love the chance to say hello. Thank you all for what you do. It really helps me plan as well. If it wasn't for you, i would have never thought le cellier would have good vegan options at all. I just always assume steakhouse means not for me but will definitely try that next time I am in disney. Is there somewhere where we can see the bear necessities list? Id love to know whats on there.. Maybe you could do a video of your top favorite disney meals of all time.

[@PrincessandtheBear]

We didn't compile the Bear Necessities list because we just started doing it this year. We have a plan in place for next year to track everything so we can do a big compilation video at the end of the year next year.

We do stay at the resorts but have not done it as much since we moved to Orlando. Every now and again we will when we can or need to. Like Dapper Day, for example, we booked a Disney hotel for that. -👸

[@lexmelinda]

Great to know the back story. I refuse to believe that you are socially awkward, by the way. If I see you in December, I'm totally saying hello! We are inspired by you guys and are thinking of vlogging our December trip. Does it every seem more like a job now that you vlog most trips or is it still fun? Good to know the equipment you use. We're thinking of using what we have for the trial run....iphone 13 and an Olympus camera. Any advice?

[@PrincessandtheBear]

It's a job for us when we can't think of something to vlog for a day or two in the week. Other than that and promoting our videos on social media, it's fun. Doing it during your vacation can be more fun. The greatest part about it is referencing something from your trip and being able to pull it up. Sometimes you forget a dish you had or a moment from the night but when you vlog it, you can go back and remind yourself any time. We bought our first camera before we started vlogging but we do use our phone sometimes, even now. Bring both devices and try both. Sometimes the phone has better lighting and sometimes it's the camera. You could do it all on your phone if you want to.

[@PrincessandtheBear]

Some I make myself. Others I buy. A good majority of them come from Hot Topic or Amazon. I try to mix and match pieces I have to create new looks regardless of where I get it so I'm not contributing to fast fashion. If they rip, they get sewed. Some pieces I've had for more than 10 years and I love them all. -👸

[@RachelleMorgan]

Well now i feel like we need a patreon for all the rude questions 😂😝😝 Unless they were actually being jackass’, and in that case I’m gonna need some names… I just want to talk to them.. I swear. Talk with my fists…. Maybe.. but just talk…

[@AlanGoldwaser]

So here is the reverse. I'll talk about me, which doesn't mean I'm a typical viewer but it explains your appeal to me. On March 6th 2020 I developed a minor cold but my doctor made me stop work that day due to me having had cancer twice (on #3 right now) and being a diabetic, taking the NY subway system back and forth to work, and he felt I need immediate isolation. My regular was was a bookbinder in a Printing Plant. I am also a trained Chef which will explain my interest in food and it's analysis. Prior to the 6th My wife and I would watch KZbin videos on the weekend concentrating on both Disney Parks and Cruise videos. We usually take vacation every 5 years and were supposed to do Disneyland last year, a cruise this year and Disney World next year. My daughter who is a TV writer lives in LA and we have only visited her once in 12 years and didn't get to Disney on that trip. So we started developing a wider array of people to watch. As my daughter is a vegan and my wife a pescatarian we always like to see all sides of a meal presented. We have about a dozen Vloggers that regularly watch. What sets you guys apart are, of course, are having both a vegan and non vegan discuss vegan dishes. Also, you never know what Bear is going to order. With every Vlogger we watch we always know who is going to order what with few exceptions. Bear is my Man as he runs the gamut from meal to meal. Although I like coconut and pineapple and watermelon, you still will try what you don't usually like and give Kudos when it tastes good to you! Now that's a real food reviewer. Last thought, I love when your friends are with you especially Taylor and I love the added opinions.

[@PrincessandtheBear]

This is so wonderful! Thanks for sharing and I'm so glad we can keep you on your foodie toes. -👸
