People labelled 'Disney influencers' have been criticised for their 'obnoxious' use of numerous devices around the park.
Visitors have become fed up with other guests using too many smartphones after a man was spotted trying to capture the magic for his online audience using a five-in-one contraption. Even a Disney cast member is fed up as bloggers take over.
Some have taken their complaints online after seeing the camera-clutching tourists trotting around the Magic Kingdom. They were accused to making the experience less special as Disney fans demanded restrictions are put in place. It comes after news that an abandoned UK Butlin's site is now seaside town's 'hell hole' hotel.

The subject is hot topic on Reddit and as an employee took to the website to grumble at those who 'film everyone and everything' when they visit. The worker slammed the non-stop use of smartphones and they weren't the only ones ticked off by it.
They wrote: “Being a CM [castmember] sucks when it comes to this. Yes, some influencers will ask permission to film us, especially involving pin videos. However, many exploit us for content. People generally don’t realize that performing isn’t just limited to entertainment. Every CM is always putting on a show…”
One Disney fan agreed, and responded: “Absolutely. I can’t stand people who regularly live stream in the parks, tbh… It’s incredibly obnoxious, especially when they have rigs or multiple camera setups like this.”
Another told the worker: “Disney influencers like this take the magic out of visiting the parks. Disney World is a place to escape the world and enter one of whimsy and fantasy. Disney really needs to start limiting the kind of filming equipment people can bring in[to] the parks…”
A mum meanwhile sparked a debate after admitting she is taking her children and nephew on a trip to the resort by leaving her stepdaughter at home to sulk. The 41-year-old has one child with her husband, 41, one from a previous relationship, and welcomed two stepchildren into her life when she remarried.
However, she says her 16-year-old stepdaughter has been causing issues in the household, especially when it comes to 'family time'. She said on Reddit : "We have always treated the children as equally as possible, though with extended family, they don't always go on the same trips if we don't go.
"His parents take his children on vacations and my child doesn't want to go without me. This has never been an issue. But when we plan trips, we always take everyone. The problem is that my stepdaughter doesn't really like anything that anyone else does. Or she will like it until someone else does.
"She really wanted to go on a winter trip to Colorado for skiing. None of the other children were that excited, but seeing as it's hard to find things she likes, we went. She was excited until the other kids started enjoying it too, and then she wanted to leave. This is pretty much what happens when we go on trips to the zoo, museums, or anything. And if other people are already happy about it, she immediately hates the idea."
Wanting to understand her mindset, her biological parents and her stepparents each spent one-on-one time with her as well as in their couples to see whether this was the issue - but it didn't make any difference. She added: "We thought maybe she just wanted time with each parent alone. So we did that with both her mom and dad. She still complained the whole time.
"Her counsellor said maybe she wants activities with both parents to show they get along. They did that but if they showed any enjoyment at all, she hated whatever they were doing. We've done girl days with her mum and me and she hates it.
"We have found the less enthusiastic we are, the more she wants to do it." So, they allowed the 16-year-old to pick the family activity but as soon as one person showed interest or enjoyment over it, the teenager started to complain about it.
"If she sees someone like something she chose, she complains and says it was her idea like no one else can enjoy it. So this year, we had been talking about Disney for a while. My nephew has cancer and has always wanted to go with us because he has no siblings and not many friends because he's missed a lot of school.
"My stepdaughter said it was stupid as soon as everyone else wanted to go. Her father said he would have a lot of work to catch up on when he got back. He does seasonal work and has to take the work while he can. The kids agreed that they wanted to go and he wanted us to, so I made the plans and we decided to go back another year with all of us."
Commenting on her post, one user said: "It sounds like she is struggling to find her individuality. My advice for when she starts grumping at places is to straight up ignore her. Keep having your fun and let her learn to join."
Another user added: "I'd only advise, you, your partner, and the child's mother to focus more on her mental health treatment because this thing sounds very pathological, to say the least."
