That Tron figure encapsulates Modern Disney in a nutshell

It's great to hear honesty instead of "influencers" blowing smoke up their arses for access and freebies

Thank you Sir. "Hot modern garbage" is my new favorite saying. LoL

Thanks for being honest about stuff and not sugar coating - too many vloggers are too afraid to complain about things that COULD be improved.

OMG 😂 YOU HOLDING UP YOUR TRON FIGURE DURING THE PARADE WAS SENDING ME 😂😂

Is Disney ok?? Seems like all they can do these days is overcharge for merch. Universal, this is your moment

Thank you for being so honest. I think because they’re firing so many people, there’s no one to maintain the parks like there used to be. Disney used to be so clean when I was a kid, and the past few years it has just gotten so bad. I hope in that statement Iger made, the money includes hiring maintenance and custodial cast members

@John Doe we were just there this past Tuesday night and had a blast ! No magats , white supremacists, or qanon nutjobs ruining the fun for everyone else, it was great! The cast members were great, I even wrote an email to guest services. Go to uni, john doe, nobody misses you....

Wow, very eye opening view of all the construction, the messed up Monorail sign and $35 per day Genie plus, it was $15 dollars a day 12/2021 when I was there last. They are ruining the whole Disney experience. As you said Walt would be turning in his grave.

really appreciate that you don’t sugarcoat things. love disney but too many vloggers and fans are up mickey mouse’s ass. there are soooooo many things that disney needs to improve on for the amount of money they are now charging

I recoined the "Disney" logo to "DI$NEY". More appropriate these days.

The Tron figure reminds me of when the movie actually came out and they had the figure that were exactly like that but as characters. Like you said, I think Disneys true imagineering team is dead. I’m utterly speechless that Disney is a cash grab now for anything and everything.

Thank you for the PSA on the Tron Figure-Don’t Buy! Dollar Tree figure that you paid $100 for with a crappy video screen. My God, Disney wants us to take them seriously like they’re doing better and they put out this crap?

Really surprised to see you only have 53k subscribers. Your combination of information and criticism works really well. Everyone interested in Disney/Universal Orlando should follow and forget about the vloggers who turn up and just wander.

At least the Tron figure is able to wave at a parade! lol

The text shaming of how the EPCOT middle portion construction started in September of 2019 and still looks a year away from completion? "Chefs kiss"

Kevin is so refreshing to listen too. One of the few who keeps it real.

You are too much. 😂😂 I was dying laughing. Loved the true review. And no I would never make a purchase like this. This is why reviews are important and thank you for it. Have a great weekend. 👍

Put the “Encom” employees in cooler outfits! Give them suits with lights or something. They just look like generic Disney employees or like they work at a Taco Bell from the 90’s.

This video had me rolling. The $100 to make us all laugh is worth it lol....

Great video, Kevin. You had us laughing over that action figure. 😂😂

Being Florida residents and visiting the Magic Kingdom and WWD Resort area for the first time in 1974 and practically living there since that first visit I can tell you that the Disney of today is not even a shell of what it once was. After literally going to every park, eating at every restaurant, staying at every resort over the years, we just couldn’t justify continuing to feed our addiction. It is sad to watch the decline, but our family saw the writing on the wall in 2015 and after almost 50 years of celebrating every birthday, every anniversary, every graduation, every day off, every vacation, weddings, funerals, firsts and lasts did not renew our annual passes and have not nor will ever go back. They have truly taken a magical memory making destination and turned it into a tower of obscene and grotesque terror! It’s just a matter of time before they’re careless disregard for maintenance and upkeep gets a whole bunch of people killed. It truly is alarming to see better maintenance performed by the local traveling county fair 🙃

I'm starting to wonder if Disney can come back to former glory. This is obviously deeper than just budget cuts, this is a culture and personnel issue. That action figure is a joke. I think the cameras on Spaceship Earth have higher resolution. It's like they're desperate because they know what's coming in 2 years. We were die hard Disney Parks fans and spent a whole lot of money with them for years. We switched to Universal in 2021 and haven't looked back. The king is about to get usurped.

ageee 100% about entering Tron through Flynn’s arcade. They totally missed the boat on this one too. So sad. And it’s End of Line! Lol

Epcot construction started 9/2019!?!😮 my lord it’s taking forever

2025: “Dad where is everyone?” “we’ll little Timmy, everyone is at Universal now because Disney parks are $3,000 a day and genie+ is an additional $1000. We can only afford to come here because I sold my kidney.” “gee thanks dad!”

Those prices are absolultly insane. Who affords that?

Thank you so much for your honesty. I will continue going to Universal until there is some kind of proof that Disney actually values its customers. 🌷

Turk definitely seemed like a subscriber, and I loved how Turk was about get to the handler spankin' for hanging too long

Best looking $100 box

Hate to mention this but more then things not being repaired I’ve noticed a major decline in cast member interactions. In the past I remember having some of the best interactions and conversations with cast members. However last year I experienced a lot more annoyed and just rude cast members even to the point of nearly making me cry.

The thumbnail had me hooked! 😂 You are hilarious and I love how real you are.

jeezus only at the beginning of the video but is it me or do the extreme Disney prices get even more extreme? like 200 for a backpack? :v 100 for a loungefly

i honestly feel like they are just gonna keep raising prices to see how much they can get people to spend on that crap before people stop buying.

Wow, I was thinking of getting a custom figure but after seeing it up close and finding out that the booth mic picks up background audio, that is gonna be a hard pass for me. Which is a shame, cause I love TRON. Too bad Disney doesn't treat their properties with same respect that I have for them.

The identity disc speaker is a scam too...the audio quality was sub par. I wasn't expecting super-duper quality, but like, the speaker on my phone was better and it was a cheap phone. The identity chips sound bites weren't great either, some of them almost seemed like they were getting cut off. Very glad I didn't waste money on the backpack too.

Ok I love your honesty on the Theme Parks. I have to say that is the worse. I can't believe but I should that Disney would put something out like that. I am gonna hope and pray they pick up some kinda momentum soon!!!!

Thank you for your work dude! Always appreciate it!

Omg your Faces in the tron Store 😂😂

Love your honest reviews Kevin. Been watching for over a year now. And finally tomorrow I fly out to Orlando, cant wait to hit the Disney and Universal parks, was last there in 2019.

That 1990s font flat monochrome 100 is even worse than the failed 70s knock off 50.

Disney World peaked during the original fast passes. hasnt been the same since.

It kept bugging me when kept saying "End of the line". It's "End of line"! LOL I'm a big nerd!

Your laugh during this whole video made my day! 🤣 But, I am glad you bring all of these Disney issues to light. Way too expensive to even visit Disney, let alone buy any sort of decent quality merchandise. It is why I solely go to Universal Orlando for the past 15 years!

oh gawd that figure xp but I'm glad my future Patreon support will be well used for sketchy things like this haha, you buy this so we don't have to xp

The fact that there is no nightly parade,no. Package to your hotel if you buy in the park,having to be on my phone all day,ordering lunch as soon as you get in to park if you want lunch and god forbid if you want to pay with cash they treat you like crap for not having a card linked to. There Disney app I hated my last vacation we left 3 days left in vacation and was so happy to get over to universal and relax and have fun

Voice of the disfranchised, and those parents berating each other over the price of food inside the parks…and telling their kids to “put that back”. Or in the 80’s the families that packed lunches in the park.

Just think, Kevin. Disneyland was built in a year. Now Disney can’t build a single attraction, much less a land, in less than four years.

Bob Iger is like the Minister of Housing promising to build 88 thousand million billion houses in the greater London area alone only to be three in the past fifteen years

This sounds like the one park vlogger I can trust and follow.

Enjoyed watching you make the figure.

Love the bop-it reference lol.

I went in Feb 23 first time. Went to MK,EPCOT,HS,AK….enjoyed my time with my family. But being a life long Disneyland goer. Nothing from World stood out to me worth me going back. But the biggest difference between my experiences in Land vs World was the cast members from the parks and in the resort at World were not great to put it lightly

What's funny is they made these figures of the characters in 2010 for nothing...

This product is such an embarrassment. Thanks for enduring for us...

That’s funny. Yeah when we were at the Tron store and asked about it and then heard the price I just turned around and said appreciate the your info but that price is insane.

i thought this was whack as f when i saw bloggers do it. i can see a fun hack though just say what you want when recording like "can you believe this pos cost $100"?

The tron figure is kinda cool, guess I'm an outlier. The price is outrageous, but the custom figure in a arcade machine is actually awesome.

THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING PRICES Everywhere. Lol

Cool, thanks for covering the Tron merchandise options at the park. You're right, the prices of everything are set very high and overpriced as usual. Some cool items. Those classic looking retro figures and Light cycles are cool, but not sure why the Light cycle figure pack is $70+ tax. 39.99 seems more reasonable IMO. With all of Disney's support of Tron, where is Tron 3?

You should look up barbie with camera it used to have one bullt into a barbie and you could take pictures..it looked so much better than that and made in like 2013

Omg, seeing the amount of trash made me realize that walt is rolling in his grave so much we could use him for hydroelectric power!

really appreciate you showing disney worlds lack of care to their parks, especially since I'm going for my birthday in two days LMAO

Is it possible to select the phrases that will be recorded but, say other things? Maybe it would be fun to test it out?

I saw your video posted on a Disney fan site where they were commenting on the monorail sign. I think Festival of Fantasy is the real eye opener. It is missing the Brave unit, the Tangled unit, the Pinocchio/Fantasia float, the multiple princess float, Maleficent's fire, and multiple dancers. Disney used covid as an excuse for so long but now it's just them being cheap.

I came here to see if they just messed my figure up or if it's supposed to look this bad. I know my answer now. Once it's in the box you can't even hit a button to make it light up or anything. You have to open the whole damn box which is a pain. If you could make it light up in the box with a button I'd be more tolerant of it. My son got the bluetooth speaker and it sounds horrible. No bass or any dynamic range. But it does light up with the music in different colors which is cool. I am a die-hard TRON fan with stuff dating back to the 80's, so there's no way I would NOT get the figure. But if you're a casual fan or think it would be cool just to have - it's not. It's shit in a box. I love the arcade box, though. That is actually plastic. The figure is like the TRON ride itself: Quite the presentation, but in the end it's all just pretty lights. Space Mountain is way better.

Ugh what's going on with Disney? I recently got the annual passes for WDW but I have to agree Disney isn't keeping up with maintenance, Construction taking forever, firing a bunch of people. And the 17 billion thing yeah I think its all talk, I find it hard to believe.

Why do these "Action Figures" look like the Bill Murray's soldiers in Ant-man & the Wasp Quantumania? lol

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 great video but your reaction to the figure was priceless!

I love how you did different “voices” for the Tron figure - I wonder if you use the voice chip in the other devices if it would sound as distorted🤷🏻‍♀️… ass em bull …the…team😂 btw, cc can’t pick up the recording - it says “ foreign” 😬It is a pricey souvenir, but it does light up, it has your face on it, it recorded your voice, it comes in a cool arcade box, and you got it the same day you made it. The experience of making it and having it presented to you adds to the value, so I’d say you came out ahead. I’m surprised Disney didn’t charge more. ($200) Yours is definitely unique & special. It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen😆The materials used may be “cheap” but it looks cool on video. Don’t break it!😜

In my personal opinion I wish they could’ve changed the look of the figure and make it a completely new body mold instead of reusing the old one form when the movie came out. It would’ve been nice if hasbro made one like that

Thank you for the great Disney World and Disney Land coverage, so I don't have to go.

It’s garbage I feel like they can definitely update it though

At those prices and in this economy?! Who's actually buying this stuff?? Im betting alot of it is filling a landfill somewhere.

So glad i got to go while Disney was still good 😢

I have no proof of this but just going by Disneys recent track record I don’t think they will ever bring back the Christmas dream lights

I like the process of making your own figure, though I feel the technology could be improved upon.

Kevin - Can you return that figure? Point out all the problems with it. They should offer your money back.

Your so lucky being able to go to Disney just as an everyday activity, for me it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity 😂😂😂😂😂

They have the budget it's just they are too damn lazy to do anything about it.

It's a theme park it's a building site. I get there has to be some construction going on because the new stuff but this is ridiculous you don't have to take two or three yards and you almost the middle of all the work going on. Yes we have lived the pandemic and nothing was done for two years. And they laid off half is work force hiring them back at half wages . But surely the Disney corporation has enough money to shut down the place for a whole year, fix all the little problems. And as for that Tron figure you would have thought they would had,, 3D mapping technology so they would photograph your head and just then print it out so they could place it on a body, $90 dollars tops

Uh, i just got one. My face looks a lot better but I'm severely disappointed by the quality of the audio on mine. Also my identity disc sucks and I didn't realize you had to buy extra chips for the colors...

You chose the Daft Punk Helmet btw, not "space theme". Respect the Robots.

Though Universal has been climbing the ladder toward the top dog position, as soon as Epic World opens all bets are off and Disney will finally lose its crown. In my opinion the only reason Disney has even continued to do anything as far as improvement or innovation is because of Universal. Once Universal surpasses them I believe the Disney World theme parks in the Orlando area will go the way of Tokyo Disney and will be licensed out to Companies that will actually bring it up to par with its local competition. I think that has been Disney’s goal for the past 20ish years anyway. To squeeze out every penny they could while doing as little as possible until the time when they could simply lease out the properties and pull in money off of the licensing fees without having to do any of the legwork.

How many inches is the figure wanna know for scaling purposes??

i hate that i know this but its Peg-a-sai for more then one

A pretty negative vlog. But accurate AF.

Goddamn is everything overpriced asf!!! Love the merch but damn does disney want to drain your pockets.

I think you may be overtly critical of the toy. The presentation and the overall experience making it is fun, should you buy it for your child? Probably not because they most likely don’t appreciate anything, they’ll open it and be done with it quickly. Once’s opened toy will then flip around in said box, you could most likely twist tie it back into position. So with that being said, it’s more novelty and should be considered It’s probably for adults and not kids.

...if it's for adults, why shouldn't we expect more for the price we pay? That type of thinking is what allows Disney to get away with charging the prices they do. We SHOULD expect more. That was what Walt founded the parks on. Quality and being above the rest. Heck, Hasbro does the same type of gimmick with scanning your face and putting it on a figure and they don't charge $100.

Never gone to your Disneyland but I went to the one at Paris and it was presteem, no construction, no litter, and I noticed that there was a cast member outside every bathroom and when you came out they sprinted in to clean it, recommend going there IF you have the money
