Content on this site may include embedded content from external sources (e.g., YouTube videos of theme park rides, Instagram posts of food, or external articles).

Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These external websites (e.g., YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest) may:
