Confessions of a Disney Employee - Summary

Summary

The narrator, Swoozie, recounts his experiences working part-time at MGM Studios (now Hollywood Studios) in Orlando, Florida. He describes the different types of employees, including those who take their jobs too seriously, like the "costume people" who believe they are the Disney characters, and the "snitches" who inform on their coworkers. Swoozie claims he was an ordinary employee who showed up on time, did his job, and clocked out, but he had a problem with the managers, four out of five of whom he says hated him.

Swoozie recounts how he "snapped" and started showing up late on purpose, and eventually began stealing small items like pencils. He also describes how he was tasked with standing in a dark area of the park for three hours to redirect lost guests, which made him angry.

The narrator then reveals that he quit his job after a month, but he still wanted to experience the free food that was provided to guests who rented out the park. He comes up with a plan to sneak into a high school event and eat as much food as he can, using stealth and cunning to avoid getting caught. Swoozie successfully executes his plan and enjoys a night of eating and riding attractions with a group of kids.

The narrator concludes by asking his viewers to help him find someone who looks like him and works at Disney, so he can use their ID to get back onto the property and enjoy more free food.
