and joining me now is Walt Disney ceo Bob Chapack from
Disneyland and our guest satisfaction scores since we've reopened across the world have
shown that indeed our our guests are even more satisfied than they were prior to the pandemic
and i think it's going to create a re-emergent scenario where magic is going to be even greater
for our guests when they do come back to our parks no i think that's cheating i
think whoever's conducted the study is wrong and is stupid and should have all of their
all their decisions questioned corona corona paris i know the cardi b was kind of a little
bit of a throwback i'm super excited i'm about to get my first vaccine yes this is happening
okay so we have it we have the cdc vaccination record i have to go back and i think in three
weeks to get another dose oh my god i'm just kind of like overwhelmed with emotion
because like we've been thinking about this for like a year now and it's like one step closer
to like bringing the world back to normal okay well i will update you on how everything goes
but let's go home and kind of talk about the past year everyone okay we are back at home we
have a lot to talk about you guys sent me a ton of questions to answer for the q a about like
our disney jobs and all that stuff first off let's talk about the vaccine i feel fine
my arm's a little sore it kind of feels like you know when it's like your birthday in elementary
school and all your like friends give you like 13 birthday punches that's kind of how my arm feels
now i've been waiting for this for a year i know different people have different opinions
on the vaccine i have autoimmune disease and i also take multiple medications that suppress
my immune system so my doctor really wanted me to get this vaccine because i've been honestly
really stressed out this past year kind of living like a little bubble boy knowing that this shot is
kind of the right step in the right direction i'm getting the world back to normal i'm just
kind of overjoyed right now so i asked you guys on my instagram send me questions you want me to
answer for this q a and y'all said a lot so let the fun begin now a lot of you guys ask how my
grandmother is she's doing great i think that was one of the hardest things for me the past years
just not being able to like see her and hang out with her because like she's one of my best friends
good news i will be spending a good chunk of april uh back in maryland i have a colonoscopy
and a bunch of doctor visits that i have to do before i get kicked off my parents insurance so
i will be visiting her and i will update you on what she has growing in her front yard i'm so
excited to see her did you re-watch any tv shows i think like the main shows that we re-watched i
watched every episode of curb your enthusiasm with larry david is one of the funniest people on the
entire planet for the first time ever i watched the entire series of malcolm in the middle of
allison i really enjoyed malcolm in the middle and like seeing brian cranston and that as hal versus
walter white it's it's insane he's one of the most talented actors ever 2020 is just kind of like a
blur i don't know what came out and what happened but i watched a lot of tv and a lot of movies
what is your career goal at disney well it's kind of put on hold right now but my career goal
was kind of like i was almost there i was like at the finish line i really wanted to be a server
at the star wars hotel that was like my goal i've been on the opening team for two different disney
restaurants i made the connections i needed like i paved my way to going there and i don't know
what's going to happen now but that's that's my dream for right now and then i want to retire
working chef mckee because they make like ungodly amounts of money there you don't even want to know
six figures serve as a chef mickey's make six figures working a couple days a week that is
where i would like to retire but my goal currently right now is to work at the star wars hotel can
you rank the wdw parks worst to best i'm gonna do it the 2020 version my least favorite honestly
is magic kingdom it's just a pain in the butt to get to it's a it's a pain in the butt experience
just to move around with those different lines and ah then my third least favorite is epcot it's just
a giant construction zone there's really nothing good there except the food festivals it's just
kind of a mess and then i would say hollywood studios hollywood studios was my number one but
it's just they took out all the live entertainment and kind of everything that made studio studios so
i'd say that's number two and i think number one is like animal kingdom because like that one is i
feel like the least different in this current day and age how hard is it to make a video then edit
it i've said this before i would say by the time i hit record like when i'm at theme park to the time
it gets like posted it's around 25 to 30 hours because you have a whole day of like filming then
you have like 10 to 15 hours of like editing then you gotta make like the thumbnails and the uploads
so it's around 25 30 hours of video which has been crazy for the amount of content that i've produced
this year since like going like full-time youtube because i used to produce like one
maybe two videos a week now i'm pumping out like three videos a week sorry about not post a video
last week i kind of took the day off had like infections you know typical kevin health problems
but i'm better now the different antibiotics i had to take worked why didn't jared wave at me last
week while i was in animal kingdom does he hate me jared does not hate you jared loves meeting
all of you guys when you come and visit him as a winner's explorer so if you ever see him just
feel free to wait is there anything at any other theme park that was added that you hope stays but
i would say the biggest thing i really enjoy is having hand sanitizer everywhere because i
always carry around hand sanitizer so it's nice to have it you know every 10 feet in the park which
of the new attractions are you most excited for honestly the velocicuster i'm not really excited
about ratatouille i know tron's going to be good but it's not like a new ride that's just
new in the united states and there's a couple other like cool things that disney had planned
but cancelled so i think i'm really excited about the velocicus during epic universe that universal
is making it's the funniest moment you remember when going out to eat with the roommates in the
beginning of 2020 we had made a plan to go to a restaurant every single month and review it and
we were super excited we got two months in let we had no money 2020 begin yeah that clip didn't age
well because then a couple weeks later everything shut down have you discovered any new shows and
movies you've loved in quarantine all right so my two 10 out of 10 movies that i watched in
2020 it was uncut gems with adam sandler if you haven't seen it it's literally one of the
most stressful movies that you will ever watch but it's just so good so well edited and acted
i loved it there was this movie that was on hulu it was called in and of itself incredible if you
have hulu watch that movie it will really change your perspective on like the world and life and it
was directed by frank oz who you know the voice of miss piggy and yoda i'm hoping to get into the dcp
in a couple years any general tips the dcp is kind of um m.i.a right now i know it will be back
they've kind of rip vista way in all the housing apartments that like that my generation lived in
now everyone has to live in flamingo crossing i believe i'm gonna tour it in a couple weeks but
it's crazy expensive like we couldn't even afford living where we lived in patterson court like you
you already make no money on the college program i would bring an extra like four or five thousand
dollars before you join the college program to like help pay the bills because it's gonna
be a struggle for you i'll work in the college program when it comes back what was your favorite
character interaction in 2020. so i spent like a year and a half filming this video with a coconut
coconuts don't walk they don't talk they don't breathe they don't do anything coconut is not
a mammal if you haven't seen it i'll put a link right here like it's i think it's like my favorite
videos i've ever made it's one of the stupidest videos i've ever made but i interacted with so
many great talented performers who like had so many good zingers and jokes to my questions i
would say my favorite interactions are honestly just like running into my friends just asking
them stupid questions someone also asked who's my favorite disney character to meet my favorite
disney character to meet is betty shambles as you know they're no longer any citizens of hollywood
or streetmaster within disney i think that's one of the biggest things i miss you know all those
performers out because it's different every single time you interact with them you interact with
cinderella she's gonna be like oh i put a strap on my shoes so it doesn't fall off it's like you'll
get the same response every time when you interact with like the improv actors they're so good and
so funny like i think that's what i miss most should you work at disney yes and no um i think
the disney cast members are very upset with how everything was handled it's still very stressful
people don't know if they're safe with their job people spent decades working for this company and
they were just fired like that i think we all agree we don't agree on how things were handled
and i think disney truly needs to focus on the cast members because that's who makes the magic
and if there's no magic people aren't going to keep coming back so i think they need to kind of
start focusing more on their cast members i get it they're losing a lot of money but also well
built this incredible atmosphere and culture and it's not really there right now like honestly it
was already a very stressful job to work at disney than you had in all these extra procedures and
precautions and like 32 000 cast members got laid off and like we're all one big giant family and
like those are our friends everybody's lives were like turned upside down it was a very stressful
and like eerie time down here in orlando i don't know if they will ever recover like the morale
fully now there are some departments within disney where they're thriving and everything is happy
and wonderful but there's also some where like i have friends working like 50 60 70 hours a week
normally you know that happens a couple weeks a year for the holidays but it's like this just
constantly the way the cast members were brought back was through like seniority so the people with
a higher seniority were brought back so like me with a couple years seniority yeah so these cast
members haven't worked these like long stressful days before and they're not used to it because it
was always run by you know college program kids so you know every three to six months there'd be
a new batch of like young college students to like you know to brighten up the parks and like bring
the magic and it's just hard because there's it's just like no end in sight for the cast members
right now and my heart breaks for them because a lot of you guys message me like when the college
program got canceled like you know a lot of you guys who watch the videos were in the college
program or like are interested about the college program and like i didn't know what to say those
were my favorite times in my life was my college program experience for people to have that cut
short my hearts really went out to them and then the international students like they couldn't find
ways to get home and like disney was like you're like three days like get out what so i guess
back to the question should you work for disney i would wait for them to kind of figure things out
definitely not as fun as it used to be i don't think you realize how many departments just got
wiped clean there's no one left you take out one person okay but you take out just giant chunks
and it's just not gonna function very well and like so many managers got laid off and like
you need managers to kind of like guide the cast members on the vision and like it's almost kind of
like a free-for-all in some areas but everybody's trying to do their best i think that's the biggest
thing is like everybody's still working these long crazy days everybody bonds together to try and get
through it i just don't know how much longer they can hold it up what is the most questionable thing
you've seen a guest do at the parks during this day and age oh god i've seen a lot um
i would say my biggest pet peeve is i hate when people are wearing masks and they kiss because
it's like two sweaty socks kissing up against each other and it's just not romantic why are
you doing it people what's the most frustrating thing about the parks reopening is there's no
park reservations right now it's already stressful planning your trip to disney but now you throw in
these park reservations and you're only limited to a certain amount or annual passes are being
canceled it's like it's hard to even plan those days to get into the park like until like mid
april nobody can get into the park because there's no more reservations left which is insane which
churro is the best you've ever had i really enjoy the nomad lounge churros those things are
10 out of 10. what are you most excited about for the 50th anniversary celebration honestly
the new design of what they're putting on the castle i think it looks great because currently
i don't enjoy the new castle but i think what they're adding on to it will really make it
shine to its full potential where does gideon's rank in terms of best disney desserts i would
say number one in terms of like quality every time i've been it's been almost the exact same quality
every single time it's six dollars you're gonna get a wonderful atmosphere great service and a
great product so therefore i love gideon so much it's my favorite place to get a snack on property
what was the best thing to happen to you this year a lot has happened to me this year i really
enjoyed spending the time being able to spend it with allison just like watching movies and
hanging out like i really enjoyed that it was so much fun i also really enjoyed having a bathroom
close by because working at disney they do not really plan for people with crohn's properly i've
worked at many different locations and i would say they'll have like one stall so when i gotta
go it's it's a mess so just the thought of maybe not having that stall open to me is stressful
it was really nice just to have a toilet close by and if i do go to the parks it's like a 15 minute
drive and then when i'm in the park there's like a toilet every like couple hundred feet so i think
i really enjoyed having a toilet close pie for the first time ever because working at disney
was very stressful with the crohn's and bathroom situation and some of those bathrooms oh my god
and then i think my number one favorite thing was i kind of realized what i had to do with
life i think a lot of us in 2020 had this vision of where our lives were gonna go but honestly life
doesn't function like that there's gonna be so many different obstacles and what you envision
is never how it's gonna happen just get used to it you just gotta go with the flow with life and i
really think trying this full-time youtube thing i know it affects a lot of people positively and
like literally all i wanna do in life is just make people happy and it was incredible the amount of
support when i said i wanted to try this full time that i got from you guys nobody has ever supported
me like that in my entire life it meant a lot it was crazy the kind messages that you sent me
so thank you so much i hope i'm making you proud with the content that i'm producing but i would
say that's one of the best things i discovered through this whole experiences really focusing
on youtube and like how much i'm an impact these videos actually make and it really means the world
to me that you guys enjoy them because i enjoy making them and like hanging out with my friends
and creating the content because honestly i've never really been good at too many things but i
know i've like invested 150 percent of my effort into these videos and i know they're decent i
could go on for a long time talk about this maybe we'll do a whole another video about like what
it's like to be a youtuber if you could live in one mythical universe for a week what would it be
i think if it was like a movie world i would love to go to the futuristic back to the future part 2
hill valley why has shelby still not told the corn story i had a whole video planned for 2020 about
the corn story but now because of how things are i think it's gonna be a while till we get
the full corn story video and it's so good what i have planned do you think your department will
ever go back to work i do i just don't know when i'll be back from like the people i've talked to
again it's all about seniority so like i don't have super high seniority i think either
late 2021 or early 2022 cross my fingers charman or scott there's only one answer
charming
we need updates on your crew well they're not my crew they're just my friends but i'll give you a
little update so first off me i'm just kind of question mark and just kind of stuck jared was
working the wild after trek at animal kingdom now he's back to being a wilderness explorer dom is
still working at the contemporary as a lifeguard jacob was a lifeguard now i think he's going to
like slide ops allison was working for dvc on the disney cruise line but so there's no cruises
she's back to like working in the parks and at the resorts ben is still in ireland working for
microsoft chris had an interview for the disney cruise line but since there's no cruises right
now that's been kind of put on hold he was working in china for disney english but disney completely
cancelled that uh whole program after like decades they just like sent everyone home pretty much so
chris is currently in florida but living with his parents in south florida and then keith is still
working at cosmic rays as a coordinator so like the main crew i don't like that word is back to
work i think a lot of my other friends who like aren't in the videos or just make little cameos
a lot of them got like laid off they had to move to other places in the country because the cost
of living is insane here and when 32 000 people lose their job and they're looking for jobs kind
of hard would you work at universal i really enjoy how universal treats their employees had a lot of
friends who work for universal and they really enjoy the atmosphere and how they're treated and
the benefits that they get so i think maybe one day i wouldn't mind working for universal any 10
out of 10 food in disney i know i'm really rough on my my food reviews but i just want to be honest
okay boat house and homecoming you can't go wrong with really anything that you order there
at disney springs and gideon's incredible so for those three restaurants i'm gonna give them a
10 out of 10. now disney resorts california grill and tobolino's terrace at the riviera
10 out of 10. like you can't go wrong with the food the atmosphere the service 10 out
of 10. it's the master disney parks hollywood studios ronto's roaster it's a massive epcot
animal kingdom nomad lounge it's a mask and magic kingdom i don't know if there's any magic kingdom
food that's 10 out of 10. i think be our guest is pretty good food i think i gave it like an 8 or 9
out of 10 when i went yeah but yeah those are my like 10 out of 10 options at disney how's your
mental health been during this past year i think we've all had ups and downs i think we all had
a lot of dark times with like the uncertainty of our jobs like what i kind of talked about and just
the uncertainty of the world i feel like the world became more divided than it ever has been which is
really like sad and depressing i think all of our mental health is doing fine now i think we're all
happy and just like we figured out a new normal we're excited for things to slowly get back to
like the normal that we know and love but i think 2020 really tested all of us i don't think anybody
had good mental health in 2020. we all put in the cove in 19 i put on 20 pounds like honestly
i'm kind of happy about it because like my entire life i've never been able to gain weight because
i've always been so sick i do kind of need to lose the 20 pounds that's when my face is a little more
rounder than normal what is my favorite thing to do when i'm not editing or make a video and
honestly it's playing call of duty i love playing video games and i am a beast at call of duty war
zones so if you get taken out by little churro sorry and i'm almost prestige 11. i'm very proud
about that and i think that's going to wrap up our q a for right now i think i'm going to make
another video truly talking about like my job and all that stuff i just want you guys to know thank
you so much for supporting me through this year it means the world to me and for everyone who donates
on my patreon you're literally help funding these videos and help funding like the health insurance
that i'm going to be purchasing because that stuff is expensive so you're funding entertainment and
also keeping me alive so thank you so much like i owe you guys a lot so on that note
i love you all please stay safe and i will see you all on wednesday bye
i think dom just burped in the bathroom
