7 Disney YouTube Content Creators To Watch When Planning Your Dream Vacation in 2023
Disney World is both an exhilarating and intimidating vacation destination. The sheer size of it – that of a large city – leaves you with so many decisions to make. Which park should I go to? Which rides should I prioritize? Which foods are worth the exorbitant price tag?
Thankfully, there are some excellent vacation planning resources, like our favorite Disney YouTube content creators! Fun and informative, their videos help minimize stress and maximize the hype of your upcoming vacation.
These channels are great even if you aren’t in the midst of Disney vacation planning. They offer a vicarious Disney getaway whenever you need it, right at your fingertips. So whether you’re searching for nostalgia’s sake or for a future adventure, these are the Disney content creators who consistently deliver.
We hope you’ll enjoy them as much as we do!
The Best Disney YouTube Channels
The Disney YouTube content creators listed below aren’t ranked in any particular order. We love them all!
From taste-testing, the latest snacks to ranking the rides and spilling park secrets, watching these channels will make you a WDW expert in no time.
1. Mickey Views
For the latest Disney news, you’ll want to check out Mickey Views – both their channel and their website! They keep up to date on everything, from the status of reservation bookings to new paint jobs for the monorail!
Nothing seems to escape their notice (like cast members getting new name badges for the 50th anniversary), but they have an outstanding balance between that fun, nitty-gritty details as well as big-picture coverage, like the CEO’s effect on the Imagineering department.
Mickey Views also covers attraction construction and theme park predictions, hosts live streams, has vlogs of days in the park, and even makes documentaries. This all culminates in an incredibly holistic, well-done Disney YouTube channel!
We also just love the energy from Brayden, the Mickey Views presenter. He gets us excited and intrigued about what’s coming up next in Disney World!
2. TheTimTracker
Another one of our favorite Disney YouTube content creators is TheTimTracker. Whether you check them out at their website or simply via YouTube, you’ll find a bucket load of wholesome posts to enjoy!
TheTimTracker is actually Tim Tracker and his family, so you’ll get to see what it’s really like to navigate Disney World with a kiddo in tow! They’ve got excellent food review videos (the most important part of any vacation, right?), as well as ride reviews and even Disney cruise reviews!
The Trackers also head out to most Disney events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and the EPCOT festivals, giving you a firsthand account of what you can expect if you choose to join in the celebrations.
In addition to Disney, the Trackers also explore other Orlando attractions and even upload fun vlogs with life updates so you can feel like you’re a part of the Tracker family, too!
3. DFBGuide
As we said, the most crucial part of Disney vacation planning is meal planning – and DFBGuide is the ultimate resource for that! (DFB stands for Disney Food Blog, so you know it’s going to be good!)
DFB covers all the eats from each park, the resorts, and even the cruise ships, keeping up to date with ever-changing menus and giving honest reviews on flavor, presentation, and price point.
We really appreciate knowing what food – popular or hidden gem – we need to get a bite of and which courses might be a waste of good pocket change. Fair warning, though, watching this channel will make you hungry!
4. Inside the Magic
Inside the Magic is a channel chocked full of fun Disney content!
They regularly post great 300-second (or roughly four-minute) clips that recap the latest need-to-know Disney news. We love feeling informed about all things Disney without spending hours researching it… oh, wait, WDW research is kind of what we do here, LOL!
In all seriousness, Inside the Magic is an excellent resource for learning about the most noteworthy Disney happenings, from hurricane prep in the parks to crazy cast member interactions. Other events like the D23 Expos are also covered by ITM, so you can be in the know even if you can’t go!
They’ve also got a fantastic playlist of the top 50 attractions in Disney World, as well as some hilarious satire videos like: “Fans OUTRAGED After Discovering Space Mountain Does Not Actually Go To Space.” (Shocking!)
5. Attractions Magazine
While our primary focus today is Disney YouTube content creators, we had to include Attractions Magazine, a channel that provides excellent coverage of Orlando attractions as a whole! (Which, yes, includes Disney.)
You can tune into the Attractions Podcast to stay informed about the latest theme park events and significant changes. They’ve been a reliable source for updates on Disney’s new Genie system, holiday events, and ride experiences.
With tips and reviews on all of the local parks, hotels, restaurants, and cruises, you won’t want to miss a single video from Attractions Magazine while planning your next Disney – or simply Orlando, Florida – vacation!
6. DSNY Newscast
The DSNY Newscast is a network by Disney fan for Disney fans.
They cover everything to do with Disney parks around the world so that you can delve into Disneyland Paris just as quickly as WDW here in Florida! The international aspect of DSNY Newscast is super fun, and we love that they also branch out into Disney at home.
They offer reviews on Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars content, so it’s worth tuning in, even if you don’t have any near-future vacation plans! Who doesn’t enjoy theorizing about Baby Yoda??
DSNY Newscast is especially great at ride insight, whether it’s educated speculation about future rides, news about ride construction, confirming projects, or discussing new characters – it’s all happening on this channel!
7. Undercover Tourist
It wouldn’t be a complete list of Disney YouTube content creators without Undercover Tourist! We’re always so hoppy to check out their latest posts! (If you didn’t know, these creators are an adorable frog family.)
These frogs are always in the know on Disney World hoppenings – er, happenings – and offer in-depth reviews on rides, events, and the best things to do at the parks. They also have videos of several Disney shows – like the fireworks displays – so you can relieve the magic of your Disney trip over and over again!
We especially love how their blog posts are written from the frog family’s perspective, so you can get a feel for how little ones of varying ages may react to certain rides and characters. And, let’s be honest, the frog puns they use are so cute!
Undercover Tourist also covers the various Disney resorts and hotels. It’s easy to get caught up in the parks and forget about accommodations, so it’s nice to have those tips on where to stay. They also cover Universal and SeaWorld, making them an excellent channel for vacation planning all the way around!
What’s your favorite way to research and vacation plan? (Brownie points if you answer “read stuff on MouseEars TV!”)
Hopefully, our list of Disney YouTube content creators will give you a great place to start when crafting your perfect Disney itinerary!
