[@Shelley9090]

Hi Dev. I've watched your videos for several years now, and you do a great job. Always entertaining and relatable. I'm 69 now, and have two sons, 41 and 37. We made at least 50 trips to WDW over the years. I'm no "show off" either, but I have to preface this by saying that we could still afford to go several times a year, take the family, and stay a week at a time in a Disney resort, but....we aren't going. We haven't gone in quite a few years. We absolutely refuse to go and have stressful planning, be on our phones all day fighting for a space in line, and be packed in like sardines the whole time. We had the glory days with our family! Memories we'll never forget. Back then we paid a reasonable entrance fee, and had the magical times of our lives in those parks... doing whatever we wanted all day and all night long. The magic was real. I miss it. But what I see now doesn't feel like a vacation to me. It feels like work. Do what makes you happy, Dev, and the content will follow right along. I'll be here watching. All the best.

[@Sarah.719]

Well said. Exactly.

[@jaquanashford3173]

Sometimes I feel like people forget that we're all just trying to live our life. We each live a different life and we might experience something that may be able to help another person along the way. This is why we come to your Channel. No one's only here for Disney content or Universal content. We're here to see someone else experiencing life in a different way that we might never get the chance to. And like you said, one of your subscribers might have learned something from their experience that they have no problem helping you with.

Thanks for being honest Dev. My husband and I are huge lifetime Disney fans, we actually got married there last year. We just purchased a 2 day pass for us and we paid $442 each!! With the Canadian exchange rate it is becoming something we can’t afford. We are now going for a week and not even able to go to the park every day when we are there.

We actually came down to Florida in September for Halloween Horror Nights. It’s the first time in years that we didn’t go to Disney and I had the best time and was so relaxed the whole time. We went to Disney last year and it was so frustrating, so expensive, and the guests were so incredibly rude

[@tabatha3005]

My boyfriend an I were there in February of this year. We were there for 4 nights at the cheapest hotel and 3 park days with park hours. In canadian it came to over $2000. This didn't include flights or the food costs down there. It's just too much for us to go now.

You’re not the only Disney KZbinr that feels this way. A few are branching out too and doing lifestyle vlogs, shopping vlogs, and travel vlogs and staying away from Disney.

Pressure is off. I'm here for whatever you and Bianca do. Your videos on Disney partner hotels helped my sisters and I decide to take my niece and nephew to Disney and Universal. Right now we are saving because it's 6 of us taking the train from Philadelphia. Also your Alaska cruise video had us book an Alaska cruise for May 2025 (on NCL) and we're staying at the Hyatt Olive 8. All that to say we value your content. Thank you for all you do.

[@jeninaslicer352]

I totally with you on this one. A few vloggers and yourself look and feel burned out from Disney. I have seen vloggers go on cruises to keep the hype up for Disney. I can work three months of OT and pay cash for a 7-night stay at Universal at Cabana Bay. That includes my tickets for all three parks. For Disney, I have to save up for at least two years to keep up with the price increases on everything. It’s frustrating. I get exhausted just planning the trip or thinking about what changes are coming down the pike. And yes I’m here to see you and the family! I call you cousin Dev!😊 You’re handsome and your family is beautiful! Stay blessed!😇

[@roseNthorn]

Everything is expensive. Disney gets all the media attention because its Disney. But Universal, movie theatres, sporting events, concerts etc, are all very expensive. Parking at SoFi stadium in LA for football games is $104! Just to freakin park! A large popcorn and soda at my local movie theatre is $25.00. An individual pizza and side salad at Universal is $17.09, at Disney its $12.79. Universal raised AP prices earlier this year, where are all the whining and complaints about that? I don't like price increases either and I do not like the corporate politics at Disney right now either. But everyone needs a reality check that high pricing is not just limited to Disney. Let's all see how much Universal raises prices when Epic opens.

Some of my favorite videos are your home vlogs, cooking with Bianca, walk and talk in the park and seeing your raw emotions when you drove to the couple that was having domestic issues and he killed her.

Dev I'm with you all the way brother!! as a black man from a poverty stricken city in South Florida. It’s almost laughable to say I live 2 hours from Orlando and never had the chance to go to Disney as a child. My family never had the money or the knowledge. I fell into the same complacent mindset until one day I came across your videos and finally went to Disney for the first time at 27 years old!! I've been going at lease 3 times a year since. With your videos, you helped change my entire perspective and the quality of my life experiences so I'm grateful and whatever you do I support

[@ellenterrill4067]

Sadly, like you, many adults come to realize their jobs are the same routine, day in and day out. Adulting is tough. You are lucky you do have a following and have flexibility to go in another direction with your vlogs. I like that you appreciate viewers who are interested in your day to day life with Bianca. Maybe take a dance class together. Or take hikes, enjoy nature. Or a cooking class, or test recipes pitched by local grocery store brochure. Maybe learn a maintenance skill together, seriously my H & I have been married 40 years next year but only recently have we used You Tube videos to fix our car and electric dryer. Don’t blame Disney regarding rising costs, lots of people work there at relatively low pay, Disney has recently raised hourly wages. All that magic costs a lot of money to produce. Yes, your routine is the same routine, day in, and day out, but Disney World is a Small World after all. Yes, people want change but they also want it to stay the same.

[@gregg5958]

[@brent.cole94]

Finally, someone who says it for what it is and not sugarcoat anything! I agree with you 100% about how Disney is dying and I'm glad that you're actually speaking up about this and showing your frustration. I came here with my fiance in the beginning of August (the first time in 5 years) and it was such a bummer. Attractions are terrible, food is terrible, and the atmosphere was unusually dead. I don't know if it was the weekday crowds or students just went back to school, but everything was nearly a walk on. I've never seen anything like it and oddly enough, I wish the crowd levels were bigger. It just didn't feel "magical" like it use to when I was a teenager when it was more crowded. The vibe was completely off.

Why the heck do they have a special event item that they don't stock enough of for the whole event? It's made us decide not to bother going again next year.

Completely normal to feel this way. Disney is in a really bad position at the moment and still trying to reinvent themselves. We've had to adjust our Disney trips and try to pick and choose the best things we like to do. We recently went on our first Disney cruise and felt like the value, service and experience was top notch. Their hotels also continue to provide Amazing devices and experiences. The theme parks are lacking new experiences and are definitely overpriced.

We just did our first Disney cruise and it was just okay for us, however, we didn’t have children with us. I’m sure it was fantastic for families with young children. We won’t do Disney cruise again as twice the price of our usual cruises with Princess. We find the pools on Princess larger and there are more of them, more quiet spots and service/food is comparable. I think you and your kids will love your Disney cruise 🚢 have fun!

[@juliekm6495]

The cast members for the Disney cruises and resorts are super! Perhaps that is a bit of the redeeming value as far as going on a Disney cruise and staying at a Disney resort hotel. Cruises of course offer all inclusive vacation perks with food, room and lots of fun onboard events for all ages and some drinks. I could see going on a Disney Cruise over going to one of the parks! The Disney staff on board the Disney cruise ships go over and above and bring the Disney magic!

You know what you are honestly right on base here. I had set up for a vacation for my daughter and myself only for this upcoming February as she's turning 13 and it was priced at about $3,200 for five nights and 6 days. This is staying at the Riverside Royal rooms. Today I looked at dates again and played around with a couple of weeks ahead of that to see if the discounts would still apply because there are sales going on right now but it jumped up over $600 just for a matter of 2 weeks difference with no other changes in my reservations. When I look at that, all I see is intense greed and a shutting of a door because why would I want to pay that whenever I'm not getting a top dollar experience. It still Disney, yes of course and I love Disney but I do not love being taken advantage of and right now that's exactly what's happening.

[@tracyhoneck9177]

Hi Dev! What a fascinating video. I had no idea you were only 29!! I have twins that are about to turn 31 - I hear a lot of the same questioning in your voice that I hear in theirs. The 30's are the toughest decade of adulthood IMHO. Hang in there, you are doing quite well for 29. As far as content goes, I have been to the Orlando area a dozen or so times since my twins were about 10, there is a lot of cool stuff to do and see in the area. I think it would be cool to have your viewers experience your favorites and hear how you would 'do' Orlando without Disney. Our personal favorite way to 'do' Orlando is to rent a house, rent a car, do parks with a break and see some sights, eat local, etc...maybe even a road trip to the gulf coast. Show the folks watching that you can have a great longer vacation for a lot less money if the theme parks are just a 1 day multi-park ticket mixed in with other cool stuff to do :-) I think a lot of people would be interested in that.

I had a therapist who stressed that people use the word “happy” to describe their life. We search for things that give momentary “happiness.” He suggested I should strive to find “contentment” instead. I’m with you on backing away from Disney. I’m hearing how discontented you are with the road Disney has taken. It hurts my heart that as a senior citizen on a fixed income that I will probably never again afford to visit the parks. The cost of living has increased to the point where I would need to use credit cards & then pay on the balances for the next years. It isn’t worth it. I’ll still be one of your OLD viewers & enjoy whatever you choose to share.

First of all, I feel like Rome is burning, so thank you for acknowledging that. It’s weird to watch some vloggers right now due to all that’s going on. I love the message you are putting out there. I can’t wait to see how this channel evolves. Thank you so much for your honesty.

We just canceled our annual family Disney trip and booked an all inclusive trip to Punta Cana and saved a few thousand $$

[@perezproductionz6347]

Thank you for your honesty Dev and just know from me I am excited for all of your new content and love your vids !

[@bellaangel4422]

We are here for it…My husband and I have watched you for years!!! Our epiphany came this week too…We are giving up our UAP and WDW AP After 10 Years. We are ready to do things that bring better value to our lives. Keep speaking your truth and being a voice for those that feel the same way!!! 💪💪💪 Can’t wait to see you and Bianca continue on your journey. 🎉

I enjoyed your old DW videos when you were happy, excited, and positive in the parks. I watch Disney vlogs on KZbin to escape reality of daily life and get a glimpse of my “happy place”. Your videos recently have been emotionally draining and not an escape at all. I hope you find what makes you happy again and if you ever find yourself enjoying Disney again, I hope I find my way back to your channel. Thanks for the videos and good luck! ❤

[@icehawk86]

Appreciate your honesty. I grew up at DW. It was a yearly family vacation for us. Now I am a single Dad, with 2 kids, working as a High School Teacher. I don't ever see myself being able to take my kids. We experience Disney through you and other channels. It's kinda backfired because they beg to go. I enjoy your content but make the content that makes YOU happy. Your viewership will be there.

[@SavSharron]

Thank you for your honesty and always being true to yourself! I have been around for a long time. I remember when you hit 1000 subscribers. I am so excited for the direction of your channel as you grow and change. Keep up the amazing work!

[@viaking100]

I am disappointed in the Disney trends. Walt would not be pleased with the changes being made to the shows, movies, and parks. I grew up with Disney with Wonderful World of Color era. That was our Sunday night ritual. So I was a lifelong fan. Now with the prices, it is no longer feasible. It is a shame.

[@aprieto7998]

Thank you, for your honesty. I ❤️ your volgs and looking forwardto the new content. Wishing you and Bianca all the best on this journey. God bless

[@shelbyortenzio]

Hey Dev. Long time subscriber here. I watch your channel because it's nice to be nice. And as simple as it is to be nice and kind, it's a dying trait nowadays. You are real and genuine, and that's what a lot of these theme park bloggers are afraid to be because Disney is their meal ticket. Where ever you go in life, you will touch people with honesty and kindness. Thank you for that.

[@leebrereton5775]

Hi dev, we are a family from Liverpool England and have always wanted to go to Disney with our kids but the cost of this is massive and with the cost of living increasing we have no chance, your talking about £10,000 for a fortnight so if this carries on we will only be able to watch your fantastic video's and never get to see with our own eyes the magic of it all. 😢. Keep smiling, your video's are the best. Lee

[@genageeraert8039]

Unfortunately the world has lost a lot of its magic. I hope we can get it back.

[@manuelkong10]

I think we all know this isn't just about prices

[@yourbestfriendjoshua]

Sounds like Disney might be a thing of your past now… And that’s ok! You’re also right about the repetitive nature of theme park vlogger content. It’s truly not sustainable long term. Do what makes you happy!

[@olikiahill260]

Hello Dev and Bianca life is short so make sure you do what makes both of you happy and I will support your channel no matter what txs for bringing sunshine to my day and I loved you both blessings

[@bundsta324]

Theme parks have ALWAYS been expensive so I’m not sure why you’re so upset…hate to say it but Universal is just as expensive as Disney for the most part. Maybe you just need to take a month off?! I’ve found that KZbinrs never take breaks….your subscribers are still gonna be there after a month off. And take regular breaks/vacations like 1-2 weeks way more frequently

[@lucywells6579]

I completely get where you are coming from, especially with the situations in the world right now it seems wrong to see people flaunting what they are doing or things they have bought, when people are suffering. Your main priority is to yourself and your mental health, if you don't want to do disney, then don't plenty of others do and it is getting stale. I personally don't watch Disney vlogs anymore as they do get repetitive and that is the main reason I got into watching youtube but have discovered there is so much other content out there. I really enjoy your lifestyle vlogs and seeing you and Bianca as a family. Looking forward to 2024 x

[@diandragalindo7421]

4 years ago I started watching solely because of your Disney content. Over time I continue to return to your videos because I have developed this care for you and your family! It interesting to see because we are similar in age and going through the same eras of life. It’s nice to see because you are relatable. No matter if you continue with your theme park content or start a new journey, you have a subscriber in me! ✊🏻

[@nanimoku2550]

I’m new to your channel but won’t unsubscribe. I just earned the title of ‘Senior Citizen’ so my words are from experience. Live with morals, compassion and joy. It’s okay to pivot. Be happy…and pray for Peace.

[@TomMaeTV]

Dev…you need some Dad advice. So I am a older guy and spent my life in business. When you build a channel or a business you CANNOT change your customers (who come for Disney) In business companies don’t change their customers….their customers change the business. You have to be smart enough to listen to your customers. If you do reinvent your channel and retain most of your subs it would be nothing short of a miracle. I suggest you don’t do this. We have met you lots of times. We watch all your videos. You have helped our little channel. We care about you and your family. I think you should find a way you can do Disney content, rethink this.

[@kennytucker8238]

Agreed. Maybe Dev should show us how to do Disney "on a budget" and still have that magical experience. I have come to appreciate what Dev does. But his Disney video are what brought me here.....

[@PlanningwithPeggy]

You are one of the most amazing individuals. I love your videos and enjoy everything. Thank you for this update. Hubby and I just got home from 2 weeks in Orlando and we did not go to any parks. It’s just too much money. I look forward to future videos.

[@laurenclark5115]

More Universal! Love how they treat employees and guests. Everything they do they do with intention 😊

[@TheBumbadawg]

And hideously high prices as well....

[@MIKES0029]

Eh we had a terrible experience at a Universal Resort and there was 0 customer service..

[@Jessie_D_83]

Your authenticity is why I followed your channel after watching only one video. And I could feel the vibe shift at Disney right before the pandemic, and since then it’s gotten worse. And it’s not just what’s happening at the parks that has me pulling away. Keep on with what you’re doing and stay authentic to yourself and people will follow. God bless! 😊

[@filmandcomposition]

I’m currently at an AFB watching F16s flying over South Korea and would usually come to your channel for an escape. However, recently, you’ve been on a complain train that is honestly making me sad. We watch your videos because of your capability to share with us the joy of Disney. Most people do not have that privilege. I understand how you feel about Disney’s latest moves, but there are plenty of creative channels that have proved there are still fun things to do at the parks. Stay positive and maybe that creativity will reach you as well. If not, good luck with your lifestyle vlog…

[@asheburypress882]

Keep watching videos pre 2019. Live in the past. I get it. Don’t be mad at him because he’s being honest about what’s happening right now. If you can’t see that he’s unwilling to scam peoples emotions and wallets, then I don’t think you have the capacity to appreciate what he has to give. I’m sure he’d love to help you escape, but Disney sucks right now, and it’s a sad fact. Sorry.

[@filmandcomposition]

@@asheburypress882 Why would I need to keep watching videos from 2019 when there are plenty of other channels that have fresh takes on the parks without the complaints? The context of my original reply was disappointment, not anger. Unwilling to scam people’s wallets and emotions? By making unsponsored KZbin videos? What are you talking about? What is there to appreciate about going to PetSmart or Target (something anyone can do in the States)? If it’s important to talk about how much something “sucks,” I’m assuming you’re the type to feed off negativity. Don’t be “sorry,” be better.

[@asheburypress882]

@@filmandcomposition I’m not sorry. I was just being polite. I am better, because I recognize a bad deal and walked away without losing my shirt. Hope you find the cult for you. ✌🏻

[@filmandcomposition]

@@asheburypress882 Haha! You were trying to be polite and now you’ve decided to be insulting? Interesting. Being sorry is a bad character trait, so I’m glad you decided to take it back. I’m also glad you’re able to see a bad deal and didn’t lose any of your clothing in the process. Congratulations! One man’s cult is another man’s religion. Have fun with all the extra money you’ve saved! 🫰🏽

[@nancyhaynes8423]

I love that you are being honest with the community. There are so many people that are just struggling to get by and seeing the Disney vloggers on a DCL week long cruise in a $30,000 suite can be alittle out of touch. I get that people work for it, but it does start to feel like showing off.

[@carollamprey8005]

You complain about Disney but if it wasn’t for Disney you wouldn’t have what you have. You push Tesla’s but the majority of people can’t afford those. Now you’re going to do wedding videos but not everyone will be able to see all of them unless you’re a Paterson. I’ve watched for about 5 years but I’m done. If you hate Disney so much just stay home. They will survive without you

[@DianaPixieDust]

That was mean. He's just being honest. There is such thing as a Disney burn out though

[@Alisha-rv5dp]

We really enjoy watching & listening to your honesty. I started going to Disney 40 years ago & took my kids, but it's changed so much since the pandemic that we haven't returned. We used to go twice a year. Very sad.

[@jueannric1754]

This is why we love yoir vlogs as you are very honest and some people won't say a bad word about disney even if they know disney is overpriced. You are honest and that's what we like and admire and we will continue to watch your clogs which are brilliant.

[@michelletetreault9428]

I think it's great how honest you're being! I appreciate that you only want to report from the heart! One of the reasons I watch disney channels, is for a little escape from stress of daily life, reported from different people. I will continue to watch your videos! Thank you for being you! You are an inspiration to be the best you, that you can be, and to be true to yourself! That's the best way to go forward in life! Thank you so much for the reminder! 😊

[@mariawoolard513]

I like watching your content and I value what you have to say about all of the theme parks. Your content lets me escape from my home. As you say, not everyone can afford to attend these parks and that is more true now than ever. I’ve been attending Disneyland and Disney World since childhood. So many great memories. It is sad that they are pricing families out. None the less, I will continue to follow your channel.

[@susan7204]

I agree with you wholeheartedly Dev! I'll be honest with you, I couldn't even afford them ten years ago. We normally stay in Kissimmee because Kissimmee is cheaper!! 😺
