Revenge of the Disney Employee - Summary

Summary

The narrator shares stories about his time working at Disney, including an encounter with a young Justin Timberlake on the set of Mickey Mouse Club. He also talks about his rebellious behavior, such as sneaking into the park after hours and riding rides. The narrator becomes fascinated with Vista Way, a restricted area where college program kids live, and tries to find ways to get in. He eventually gets an invitation from a friend and is amazed by the parties and gatherings there.

On his last day of work, the narrator gets his ears pierced to ensure he'll get fired. He's confronted by a manager about his earrings, and he proudly shows them off. The manager tells him to take them out or leave, and the narrator chooses to leave. As he walks out of the park, he's surrounded by hundreds of high school cheerleaders, and he finds the scene surreal.

The narrator never returns to work at Disney, but his experiences and stories become popular online. He claims that his confessional videos opened doors for him, and he'll eventually use his success to rent out Vista Way and invite his followers to experience it for themselves. He also jokes about having Disney managers carry him around on a throne as revenge for his past treatment.
