As ever it seems there is someone or someones out there on a mission to bring them down and they have been bombarding Disney and Universal via multiple email addresses insisting they cut their ties with The Trackers due to this content that they say is not in line with Disney’s/Universal’s values. It’s not really about that as far as I can see. Apparently they have been dropped from the media event list by Disney and Universal due to some “content” they posted a decade ago. I don’t really know how that little storm ended but hopefully it involved those folks getting a little perspective about online attention and the drug it can become. Well it did but in the form of anger, unsubscribes and vitriolic comments. In this case I suppose they thought being the first UK folks out there would bag them a lot of attention. I didn’t care very much about this as I had never watched any of their videos and probably never will but I put it down to that age old demon where some folks start getting some attention and traction for their online activity and they begin to crave it and do stupid things.Īt its most extreme I’ve heard of some (non Disney) Youtuber having a bath in bleach to generate views. There was a lot of anger at them doing this with everyone else suffering cancelled plans and having no hope of getting there anytime soon. I think what they did was called “not reading the room”. Last week I caught wind of some UK Youtubers who had sparked controversy by getting to Florida by first spending two weeks in, I think it was Crotia and the Disney online community had gone berserk at them. This is actually the second week in a row this has happened. I can feel my ire rising (not a euphemism) and I shall be having a chat with my Irish flying friends very early next week.Īway from the will they won’t they of our holiday (listen to those cheers), it has been brought to my attention this week about some Disney vlogger drama. I think we need a chat about the word Priority.įor someone who plans holidays in advance, being a few weeks away from our potential departure and not being able to book is an alien concept but here we are. Firstly it’s always nice to know you weren’t a priority in the first place and secondly when I asked how long the refund would take now it sat with the Jedi Masters of refunds I was told they could not give me a timescale but maybe within a week or so. Sure they are busy and no doubt have a lot to get through but I did check in with another affected Aer Lingus customer and blog reader who requested their refund after mine and of course there’s arrived very quickly and without faff.Īnyway I feel much better and totally reassured as I was told that the refund request would now be passed to their Priority Team who would deal with it urgently. It was requested on the 27th of August and here we sit drumming our fingers still. Aer Lingus are not covering themselves in glory in relation to their 5-7 day “promise” for that refund. Wouldn’t it be nice to hear some positive upbeat holiday news around here? News of refunds effortlessly winging their way to my bank account and our new alternative holiday being booked without any hiccups and us having a countdown of sorts to a much needed getaway.
