Jenny Nicholson is a longtime youtuber who got her start talking about movies and other pop culture stuff. Lately she’s shifted towards (very) long-form videos about theme parks.

Here, she talks about the myriad failings of a very expensive, though lackluster star-wars themed hotel/roleplay experience that Disney was running until recently. It’s more or less a play-by-play of everything from ordering the tickets through the entire trip, hence the length.

Long story short: it was a bad trip despite being very expensive.

It was a very expensive cruise ship experience in a building that didn’t go anywhere. The experience was underwhelming and people stopped going.

The hotel was very expensive but in many ways was a cheapened experience. There were lots of little details that were not thought through. The entire video serves as a criticism of some of Disney’s recent pricing strategies in general. In particular the fact that Disney is expensive and has been adding additional paid services beyond the price of the ticket that feel like they are required to maximize your efficiency.

It’s funny, I had never heard of her before I clicked on this video a few weeks ago. About 20 mins I noticed the length and was like, “I’m never going to watch four hours.” Then I did. And then I’ve been watching a lot of her other videos. She’s funny. And her ideas are really good. How no one has hired her to work for development after the kind of stuff she manages to spit out in a random YouTube video is actually a little surprising.

That’s what I thought too, and then I got sucked in. I watched it a few weeks ago, I usually love her Star Wars stuff but this felt too long…nope.

Jenny is great, watch the first half an hour.
