The Star Wars video was a bit strange to me. On one hand, it did absolutely suck, but there also were many times in the video where she obviously specifically chose expectations on purpose knowing that the park would not live up to them, and then acted like she was just totally surprised that it happened. I found it even more egregious for her Evermore park video, where she seemed genuinely shocked to not have an absolutely perfect roleplaying experience there.

It's all a bit strange because all of her unrealistic expectations are perfectly woven into the realistic ones in a way that makes it very difficult to distinguish what is reasonable about her expectations. Somehow she manages to make it so that something that will genuinely suck for everyone, like standing in line for hours or her app being totally broken, gets mixed up with much more obviously subjective things like the actors not really matching her energy.

I don't recall anywhere in her video where she didn't bring up expectations without also bringing up an example of when the Disney company had already implemented the idea.
