Mobile Tim tracker fans

Just wondering if anyone else is getting a bit put of the trackers with all the free disney stuff they are getting. Seems every other video they are getting exclusive free stuff from Disney. Clearly they will never say anything bad as it's turned into a free advertising for disney. Feel they have sold out a bit, much prefere the old days.

I think Disney are very clever tapping into the social media element, they do the same for others such as The Dis and Adam Hattan etc, like you say it’s a marketing dream!

As long as their vlogs give me my daily Disney fix while I can’t be there, it’s fine by me

I think they're pretty fair with the free stuff. They still say if they don't like the food or if they've had a bad experience.
Though, my favourites are still the home vlogs

No, not at all. If they offered me free nights/events then I’d take them, so why shouldn’t they. I still think Tim and Jen are honest in their reviews and still say if something wasn’t to their liking. I don’t think they have ever been the type to rip into Disney really bad critically anyway because they are quite positive people

No , I say good for them , they have worked extremely hard over the past 10 years so why shouldn’t they reap rewards as they are really advertising the parks anyway . YouTube made it that they have to disclose everything now which I don’t think they had to before . They do plenty of other things and home vlogs so it’s not exclusively Disney . Universal gave Tim the chance to be a scare actor which he loved . They are still quite objective although it’s free .

I think they both still give their fair opinions on Disney.
As long as they still go to other parks/attractions I will still be watching them.
Good on them for get well known enough for some perks, bet it can be hard work at times

I think most of the bigger YouTube/ social media people (can’t call them ‘influencers’ too cringeworthy) get given free stuff. Personally I think as long as they disclose it and it’s not every video plus you feel they are still objective it’s fine. I’d go off someone if I felt they weren’t honest.

I think the trackers are critical of Disney prices and experiences sometimes so I guess it’s ok. They are my favourite Disney vloggers though!

I love Tim tracker videos and don’t mind the freebies they are getting.it must be hard to create new content when you release videos as often as they do so if Disney give them stuff that helps them make new interesting videos I have no problem at all with that.

Nope, I have no issue with it. They disclose what they have been given but most things are still on themselves anyway and I think they have earned the odd complimentary treat.

They do give away stuff, obviously not hotel stays, but bits and pieces they are given.

They buy all the annual passes for most of the parks, they often eat in the parks so that costs more for them.

I also like rix flix
