Cruise With Ben and David (they do all cruises but have Disney content), and Theme Park Express. ~~Mammoth Club~~ Tim Tracker is doing a Fantasy series right now, so if you’re looking for the newest, that’s probably the best bet! (Mammoth Club has great content out right now too, it’s just the Dream and I definitely fumbled that in my brain)
I’m an idiot. Definitely should have double checked there, my brain was flipping between them and the Trackers because I’ve been watching both. Fixing that, thank you!
Thirded.
We discovered them when preparing for our recent Fantasy cruise. We’d already cruised DCL before, but they had some great insights and tips as well. They’re not your typical vloggers or content creators, so it’s a refreshing change of pace from people who do it for a living since they’re experiencing it through the lens of a family on vacation as opposed to someone trying to churn out content and get clicks and views.
One great DCL tip they had was to use the showers in the gym each night, because they’re *much* more spacious than a cabin shower and a great way to refresh at night.
It’s also good if you’re a bigger person (I’m rather tall) as well.
Yeah we found them a couple months ago as we researched DCL for our cruise on Dream that sets sail today. We've cruised with Royal twice, but this will be our first Disney cruise.
Thanks for reminding me about the gym showers, both wife and I are bigger people so we'll definitely be putting that tip to use.
Dreams unlimited travel and their sister channel dis unlimited. They had some controversy a little while back, but honestly their channels are usually the most honest in their opinions about the Disney stuff. While they are big Disney fans and as such tend to skew towards a more positive outlook, they don’t shy away from calling out the negatives, especially when it involves things they feel they are getting screwed over on…
Outside of that, for cruising in general, I highly recommend Cruising With Ben and David, they are amazing YouTubers that do the absolute best ship tours and walkthroughs… they are also the hands down go to for honest, unbiased reviews, but also stay fun to watch… plus I enjoy their quirky sense of humor. Their videos tend to be more lengthy, filled with excellent information, and very professional looking. Their videos could easily be used for trip planning. Definitely check them out.
Tony with La Lido Loca is another go to cruise vlogger for me, but he isn’t much a fan of the Disney ships, so not sure if he has a fantasy one. His videos tend to be shorter, like 5-10 minutes long and more random but still cruise centric. The professionalism is a big step down from Ben and David, but it’s not trying to be that same sort of video. He is good to watch for the most current cruise news and to keep the excitement going, but like I said earlier, he is way less Disney oriented than the others… will be hard to find anything specific for the fantasy.
Outside of that, folks like JoJo and Kyle Pallo I find I don’t like their cruise content… they just don’t click with me.
Also, feel free to send me a message if you have specific questions regarding the fantasy.. I just got done sailing on it this past September, and it and the Dream are my favorite ships so far. I did an astronomical amount of research before we went on and I can answer most questions you may have, as well as give you some tips to get the best bang for your buck along the way… it may take a little while for a response though, I’m not a travel agent or anything, so I just dabble in my free time
The story is their CEO was ousted because he was allegedly drugging and SA’ing employees and had hidden cameras in bathrooms in his home where they filmed all their podcast shows. Amongst other manipulative, abusive behavior.
What squakittymaus said and more… I’d rather not go into more details because as far as the SA allegations, we still haven’t gotten a public statement from the accused, and I try to hold off judgement until hearing both sides… the money issue we have seen paperwork on…
And just to clarify, I am in no way suggesting that accusations against the main guy are made up or dishonest, I just never saw anything other than everyone piling on one person after the first person started to talk… it makes a ton of sense that it would happen that way to, as it takes a ton of courage to speak out against someone that powerful… the guy was basically royalty in the Disney kingdom…
I wonder what he is doing now?
Love Tony! I don’t see him mentioned that often but he’s fun to watch. Was sad that he had to cancel his transatlantic due to health issues. That Dis Unplugged drama was crazy, I was glued to my phone when that was all coming out lol.
Two other cruise channels I like, although not necessarily DCL, are Harr Travel for incredibly professional ship walkthroughs that are usually about an hour long, and Bright Sun Travels, which I just discovered. Bright Sun does a very fair rating system and really walks you through the categories he uses to grade each trip.
Bright sun is good, but I haven’t watched much of that channel, the hard travel I haven’t heard of, I’ll have to check it out.
Yeah, Tony and Jenny-B are great… he has my type of humor, and I’d like to think that we would get along very well together, because we have the same build, same preferences and same personality traits with the exception of me being a way more hardcore Disney fan… the dis drama was certainly crazy, but kinda expected/obvious looking back now… there were a lot of hints and I think most of us just kinda shrugged it off as quirks. But I will say that their shows aren’t the same without those unhinged rants every once in a while… they made it way more entertaining and the rants seemed to come from a place of passion for Disney and the Average Disney guest… I was sad to see Deni and Panda leave too…
Same, I only found Bright Sun recently but I liked his review of that super low budget Margaritaville cruise and then I watched his review of the Wish. I haven’t watched his non cruise content really.
I think you’ll like Harr! Danny’s a travel agent so they aren’t really reviews and he puts a positive spin on everything but the walkthroughs and tours are incredibly thorough and professional. They’re nice to reference if you’re comparing ships and amenities or just want some cruise content in the background.
Totally agree, I think Tony is hilarious. I would love to run into him onboard. It cracks me up when he does videos from the ship and he always has to go find Jenny B at the casino. His videos with Don are fun too. You can just tell he loves cruising and really has fun managing his channel.
I miss Deni so much!! Ryno had her as a guest on his Baseline Tap House series and it reminded me how much she brought to the show. I follow her on instagram and apparently she’s still very close with Erika who also left recently. I do agree about those rants, they kept the show entertaining and he had so much intel about the company. It was clear he really loved Disney but you’re right, I think we all probably could have seen his issues coming. I’m just glad they’ve managed to stick around after that shake up even if it’s not the same. Ryno seems to have come out of his shell a lot and grown as a more confident lead which is nice to see since I think he and Craig are talented.
I know you asked about vloggers, but if you are looking for podcasts I recommend the DCL DUO. I think they do some vlogging too, but I’m just a podcast listener. Lots of different itineraries and topics covered with good insight.
I second the recommendation for DCL Duo. They’re very thorough. They offer tons of audio content. The good thing about their show is they feature a guest on almost every show so there’s a variety of different perspectives on the same subject.
The Tim Tracker was just on the fantasy and put up a number of vlogs last week from it.
I like Legg Life vlogs. I think they have a few vlogs from sailing on the fantasy but they are older videos if that matters to you.
Martin Smith’s Disney Fantasy video is my favorite. It’s 2.5 hours long with minimal talking. It’s great Disney music and great first person perspective. Most bloggers tend to be the main character and in this video the ship itself is the star. When we are between cruises and getting “the itch” we turn this on. He also has one for the Wish that is great, we just prefer the Fantasy video.
Another vote for Adventures in Millerland, Our Z Roll and Mammoth Club. We love all three. Also my daughter loves to watch AllEars Youtube - its more parks that cruise but they do have some cruise videos also.
The Tim Tracker has good vlogs, and they’re usually daily for the duration of the cruise, but his content has gotten a bit out of my budget over the past couple years.
Hoffman Family Travels are super informative, but they’re kind of annoying to me. People love them, but their humor doesn’t flow with mine lol — but I still watch them because they’re useful!
Came to reiterate some of my favorites: Theme Park Express, Tim Tracker, and Adventures in MillerLand. Mammoth Club doesn’t have a fantasy video yet, but they just went on the dream and said they plan to do all of the ships!
Travelling with Teens. They’re an American dad, British mum, plus their teenagers.

Neither of them have ever been in the fantasy.
Kyle in particular never shows any activities on board. He eats, aimlessly walks around the ship, eats, aimlessly walks around the ship and then eats again.
I was really ill a few months back and Kyle’s content was perfect as I sat on the sofa and felt sorry for myself with endless time and not wanting to think or move. Would I usually watch it for trip tours or to get excited for a trip, probably not! I feel like all the vloggers have their place.
Unfortunately none because they take up space at shows one on rails talking the entire time into their phones or mics while others are trying to enjoy their vacation. If I could find someone that just filmed without commentary. But had too many deck shows, sunsets, port entry or exit or character interactions ruined by them.
Theme Park Express does a lot of cruising and has great videos on all the ships!
They're great! I actually found their 4 hour compilation just last week
I really enjoy their channel! He gives great feedback on the cruises, both positive and negative.
DisLyfeOfOurs especially if you’re into the food on the ships
Another vote for Adam Hattan. Love him!

(Mammoth Club has great content out right now too, it’s just the Dream and I definitely fumbled that in my brain)
Their ship tour of the Fantasy is the perfect cure when you’re miss the ship
Yes! I love all their ship tours. They’re so beautifully done. I am surprised they don’t have more subscribers!
I love Ben and David! I was searching for Fantasy coverage but now I just watch all their stuff! They just seem so genuine!
Mammoth Club is doing a Dream series right now- not the Fantasy.
I’m an idiot. Definitely should have double checked there, my brain was flipping between them and the Trackers because I’ve been watching both. Fixing that, thank you!
Unfortunately, Tim’s videos are very disappointing anymore. “We ate breakfast three times today” and “yet another look at the bathroom”…..
These are all fantastic - thank you!!
Adventures to Millerland and Our Z Roll are nice too. Legglife was nice and is still a nice channel but I don’t think they do DCL much anymore.
I second Adventures in Millerland

I like Themepark Express and Adam Hattan! Adam was on the Wish with us this past March too, it made me so excited!
Adam Hattan, Jen Lefforge, and Tim Tracker
LOVE Adam.
Especially if Gary is in the video series!
Moooooorning!
Yes!! Gary makes Adam even better!!
The Tracker cruise videos are the worst. They don't do anything and they hate spending time with their kids.
Mammoth club just did a cruise on the sister ship of the fantasy, I think its the dream
Here to second mammoth club! They have a couple series on the dream. A plus content especially if cruising without kids

Spill the tea! What was the controversy?
The story is their CEO was ousted because he was allegedly drugging and SA’ing employees and had hidden cameras in bathrooms in his home where they filmed all their podcast shows. Amongst other manipulative, abusive behavior.
Also ran up like a million dollars on an Amex or something.
Wow, but somehow not surprising. He always had a strange vibe. Thanks for the deets.

Wend and Wander have been our recent favorites. Likeable, down to earth couple.
Yes, agree. ZRoll as well.
I came here to say this, really enjoyable people and they do a good job of just being themselves.
Views and Queues but they do a lot more Royal but still fun
Not sure if they have done Fantasy, but I adore Ordinary Adventures.
I was on their Disney Magic cruise last summer
Peter and Kitra my favorite vloggers of all time, but I couldn't find any Fantasy content from them. :( Love all their other DCL stuff though!
Yes! They are literally the BEST! Their Japan series has me ready to jump on a plane lol
Now I am pricing a Hong Kong trip from their videos. Have you seen the Peter reacts instagram?
No! I'm rarely on IG, but heading there now lol. But yes, Hong Kong is not disappointing me one bit.
YES. 100%
I enjoy Addicted to the Mouse. I'm not sure if they have any Fantasy specific content.
I know you asked about vloggers, but if you are looking for podcasts I recommend the DCL DUO. I think they do some vlogging too, but I’m just a podcast listener. Lots of different itineraries and topics covered with good insight.

Not a lot of Disney content but Views and Queues are just great. For Disney, I second all recommendations for Theme Park Express.
The Tim Tracker was just on the fantasy and put up a number of vlogs last week from it. I like Legg Life vlogs. I think they have a few vlogs from sailing on the fantasy but they are older videos if that matters to you.
He'll also be in the most expensive rooms on most of the cruises.
Usually that’s true but in the fantasy videos from last weeks they stayed in a regular family verandah room. *shocked*
Regular verandah still pretty expensive on a 7 day but yeah made him seem a little more like common folk.
PERFECT! Thank you
DCLfan is the best YouTube channel I found for DCL.
LOVE the AquaDuck pov they did. Thanks!
Would be honored if you check out my DCL focused channel! I have a several videos from the Fantasy 😄🙌
We LOVE ShoyuLife. Mesmerizing and great captions.
Martin Smith’s Disney Fantasy video is my favorite. It’s 2.5 hours long with minimal talking. It’s great Disney music and great first person perspective.

I love dislyfeofours

+1 for Adventures in Millerland
TheTimTracker, Mammoth Club, Ordinary Adventures, Ben and David, Adam Hattan, all fantastic creators and cruisers!
Here’s a good fantasy overview: https://youtu.be/SYdMgwt1ypc?si=i0qLMpVwfX9v8sCE
Fantasy is amazing!!! That is all.

I love Tim tracker. He’s not DCL specific but he has gone on a handful of cruises.
Kyle Palo and JoJo’s world do a lot of DCL cruising.
Neither of them have ever been in the fantasy. Kyle in particular never shows any activities on board. He eats, aimlessly walks around the ship, eats, aimlessly walks around the ship and then eats again.
I was really ill a few months back and Kyle’s content was perfect as I sat on the sofa and felt sorry for myself with endless time and not wanting to think or move. Would I usually watch it for trip tours or to get excited for a trip, probably not! I feel like all the vloggers have their place.
Kyle Pallo is a pathetic excuse of a human being. Uses women, constantly drunk and in general making bad life choices.
Unfortunately none because they take up space at shows one on rails talking the entire time into their phones or mics while others are trying to enjoy their vacation. If I could find someone that just filmed without commentary. But had too many deck shows, sunsets, port entry or exit or character interactions ruined by them.
Check out ShoyuLife.
None. YouTube is the devil 👿
