welcome everyone Adam the woo here happy
0:02
Sunday it's my second channel daily Vlog
0:04
channel it's the daily woo coming to you
0:08
from the orange circle near the fountain
0:11
that is back there funing itself with
0:15
water a lot of people have been asking
0:17
me what the progression of the
0:20
transpiring events that led me to be
0:22
able to go back to Walt Disney World
0:24
property I spent last week I got back
0:27
day before yesterday and I spent
0:30
5 days Monday through Friday in Orlando
0:35
going to Epcot going to Magic Kingdom
0:38
going to Hollywood studi MGM which is
0:40
what I like to call it and as well as
0:42
animal
0:43
kingdom and a lot of people were
0:45
wondering how were you able to go back
0:47
there and a lot of people have been
0:50
following the progression of what
0:53
happened back in January of
0:56
2013 January 8th 2013 I released Vlog on
1:00
my Channel The Daily woo Channel where I
1:02
actually announced the fact that I had
1:05
been banned trespassed from Walt Disney
1:10
World in Florida that actual event
1:13
actually happened the day before in the
1:15
afternoon but because I had already
1:17
uploaded my daily Vlog a vlog that I
1:19
actually do every single day and I have
1:21
not missed a day since then in almost
1:24
well over 3 years way past 10,000 days
1:27
I've been doing this daily woo Vlog
1:29
since I had had already uploaded that
1:30
Vlog I did not announce the news that I
1:33
was actually trespassed from Walt Disney
1:36
World until that next morning which that
1:38
Vlog number was the daily woo 1 192 so
1:43
just look up the daily woo 1 192 and I
1:46
tell you that because that was the only
1:48
time that was the only instance where I
1:53
myself brought up the subject matter of
1:58
what actually happened and the reason I
2:00
did that is because I wanted people to
2:01
know why I was not going to be filming
2:03
any more videos at Walt Disney World why
2:05
I was not going to Walt Disney World I
2:06
knew because that was such a pretty much
2:09
a very heartbreaking blow to me
2:12
personally and a lot of people would be
2:14
asking why I was not allowed there why I
2:17
was not going there I needed to tell
2:18
people what actually happened that was
2:20
the whole point of me doing that Vlog
2:22
and everything since then it was all
2:25
speculation and what people conjured up
2:27
in their own mind or you know when you
2:29
tell somebody a friend something and
2:31
that friend tells somebody something
2:32
else and something else once it goes
2:34
down the line of 40 people the story
2:37
gets kind of misc constr and all that so
2:38
I wanted to tell people what actually
2:41
happened on that Vlog the daily woo 192
2:44
and it's still up on there you can
2:46
actually go back and watch it the reason
2:49
that the Walt Disney World Corporation
2:51
actually decided to trespass me to give
2:54
me
2:55
a band for
2:58
Life uh uh punishment if you will was
3:02
because I was very excited about things
3:05
backstage and I was filming things
3:06
backstage I really did not realize what
3:09
was going to happen I didn't realize how
3:11
the internet worked at that time I
3:12
didn't realize that if I put something
3:13
on YouTube I thought maybe like a few
3:16
friends or some family members would see
3:17
it I did not realize that it was going
3:19
to blossom into what it has become this
3:23
whole Adam the woo YouTube thing that
3:27
exists those videos if you watch those
3:30
videos you can go back and watch I
3:31
really not have that many
3:32
subscribers those videos are still
3:35
actually up on the internet too which
3:36
you can actually go watch but I wanted
3:38
to explain to you guys how me being
3:43
allowed back into Walt Disney World
3:45
actually happened it kind of actually
3:47
was a progression so basically almost 3
3:50
years ago so on January 88th actually
3:53
January 7th the Vlog was on the 8th
3:55
January 7th
3:58
2013 I went to MGM Hollywood Studios I
4:02
filmed the Vlog I went out to my van I
4:05
uploaded the Vlog which was from New
4:07
York Avenue streets of America I filmed
4:10
that little Vlog went out uploaded it
4:12
and then I thought to myself I should
4:14
probably just leave but since I was
4:16
already in the parking lot I decided I'm
4:18
going to go back to Walt Disney World to
4:21
go back from the parking lot to MGM
4:24
Hollywood Studios and just enjoy it was
4:26
a slow day it was not very busy so as I
4:29
walked back in the security was there
4:31
the police were there they had been
4:32
following my social media Facebook and
4:36
as I walked in the security guard who
4:38
had been watching my Vlogs been watching
4:40
my YouTube channel who had basically
4:42
been I guess been hired to actually you
4:44
know see where I was because they wanted
4:46
to talk to me and enforce this trespass
4:49
warning or this trespass Banning if you
4:51
will so as I walked in he said hello
4:54
Adam and I said hello and as I went to
4:57
the gate I realized that this was
5:00
probably actually going to happen and I
5:02
knew that was going to happen which was
5:04
part of the reason I posted on Facebook
5:06
where I was going to be because I did
5:08
not want to hide from anyone I knew what
5:11
I had done filming some backstage videos
5:13
I knew what I had put out there into the
5:16
world and I knew that people were
5:18
starting to recognize me and the par
5:19
cast members the security guards would
5:21
know who I was so I decided to just put
5:23
myself out there and tell everyone where
5:26
I was going to be that day so of course
5:28
that culminated into me being asked to
5:30
go into the office I ended up meeting
5:33
and seeing a lot of the higher ups in
5:35
the security platform of Walt Disney
5:38
World security and they were very
5:40
cordial they were very nice they
5:41
actually gave me food they actually gave
5:43
me a soda and they said you really
5:46
cannot be doing what you are doing this
5:48
is not something we really want out
5:50
there into the world we not want other
5:52
people doing what you're doing which I
5:54
totally understand so I ended up getting
5:58
a trespass warning piece of paper I had
6:00
to give my thumb print etc etc etc etc
6:04
so as time went on people kept saying
6:08
you need to be back there you need to be
6:10
back there and another very interesting
6:13
thing was I discovered this is before
6:15
anyone was really watching my
6:17
videos so I started to gain a little bit
6:20
of a following in the Disney community
6:22
and at first the Disney Community like
6:24
the people who were really into Walt
6:27
Disney World really started to dislike
6:30
me a lot I I really had a hard time when
6:33
people would send me things on Twitter
6:36
or send me emails or text me friends of
6:38
mine and say look what these people are
6:40
saying about you over on these message
6:43
boards there's all these message boards
6:45
it's insane I actually I had to stop
6:48
reading message boards because things
6:50
that people were saying were not true it
6:52
was speculation a lot of lies a lot of
6:55
them really hurt my feelings it really
6:57
like kind of was like getting kicked in
6:59
the stomach not being able to be allowed
7:01
to go back to Walt Disney World but more
7:04
than that was the fact that what people
7:06
were saying that was not true making up
7:09
things hearsay of what really what the
7:12
fact was was just the fact that I filmed
7:14
a couple backstage videos River Country
7:17
up into Journey imagination Pavilion and
7:19
things like that so there were a few
7:21
things that I had snuck back into and
7:23
shown but then it Whirlwind it into this
7:26
whole hatred Fest of people who really
7:30
did not really understand the full news
7:32
because when the news story broke it
7:33
ended up airing on the Orlando news
7:35
stations it ended up trending on the
7:38
internet I was trending on the internet
7:39
for one day finally I was trending on
7:41
the internet but not for a subject
7:44
matter that I wanted to be trending and
7:47
I've discovered I discovered right that
7:49
that there people only read the title
7:51
man banned for life from Disney World
7:54
and immediately people think this man
7:57
must be bad this man must be evil this
8:00
man must be up to no good and his his
8:03
whole purpose in life is to inflect
8:06
people with evilness that's what people
8:08
think when they read something like that
8:11
but luckily over time people started
8:14
watching my videos started realize my
8:16
personality they started to realize my
8:18
motivation in life and a lot of those
8:21
people have come over from that side of
8:24
hating me to liking me in fact some of
8:27
you guys that actually might be watching
8:28
this maybe discover me because of that
8:30
news really did not understand the
8:32
principles what was actually happening
8:34
there and maybe I have won you over
8:36
maybe you understand basically what I am
8:39
all about now that was a long time ago
8:41
those videos were over three years ago
8:43
about 3 years ago
8:45
so people have been asking now that I am
8:48
back at Walt Disney World how did you
8:51
get this trespass this band for
8:55
life you know Mystique that is around
8:58
you this paperwork this Le eal mumbo
9:01
jumbo which is the technical term I'm
9:04
not a lawyer but that is a technical
9:05
term lifted how are you allowed back at
9:08
Walt Disney World so I'm here to clear
9:10
up the misconceptions of what happened
9:12
now when the day I actually was pulled
9:14
into the office there at MGM Hollywood
9:17
Studios and so I guess there were some
9:19
Executives there some higher up security
9:22
guards as well as a security guard that
9:24
originally saw me and the police officer
9:27
that were waiting there because I posted
9:28
on Facebook with I was going to
9:30
be people were coming in and out of the
9:32
office to make sure it was actually me
9:34
to verify it was me I handed them my ID
9:38
I filled out the paperwork the the
9:39
police officer filled out the paperwork
9:41
gave them my thumb print and then I
9:43
talked to one of the higher up security
9:45
guards and I asked him what is this for
9:47
and they said it's because you broke
9:49
some rules and you crossed some lines
9:52
and we do not allow that here
9:53
understandably I understand why that is
9:55
not allowed now and after all that then
9:58
I asked well how long is this going to
10:00
be enforced for how long is this going
10:02
to be bestowed upon me for is there a
10:06
chance I can ever come back and they
10:07
said no you are in their words banned
10:11
for life this is a lifetime ban now in
10:15
Tech in technicality people use the word
10:17
banned but it's kind of like a madeup
10:19
word there is no such thing as banned
10:21
for life you can be trespassed for life
10:23
you can be trespassed and not not
10:25
allowed back in until they say you can
10:27
come back in so as time went on over the
10:31
first year it was about eight months
10:33
into that first year of me not being
10:34
allowed at Walt Disney World people
10:37
started to say you should appeal this
10:39
ban and I was told I do not know if this
10:41
is true I was told by a few people that
10:44
once a year Florida law if you have a
10:46
trespass in Florida you are allowed to
10:49
appeal that trespass one time every year
10:53
for as long as you want so I thought
10:55
okay it's been almost a year it's been
10:57
10 11 months January will be one year
11:01
January 2014 would be the oneye
11:04
anniversary of me not being allowed at
11:05
Walt Disney World I had actually proven
11:08
to myself I was not going back I had
11:09
abided by the rules I had not been back
11:12
to the park and at that point I had
11:14
actually Flo driven out cross country
11:16
didn't fly at that time I actually drove
11:17
from Orlando out to Anaheim which is
11:20
actually Where I Live Now coincidentally
11:22
and I had been to Disneyland a few times
11:25
five or six times by that first point of
11:30
the oneyear anniversary of me not being
11:33
allowed back at Orlando properties and
11:35
i' also been to Marceline Missouri which
11:38
is where Walt grew up I'd also been to
11:40
Kansas City to laagam Studios which was
11:42
the first incarnation of Walt's studio
11:45
so a lot of Walt history had been done
11:48
over those years so I thought I'll give
11:51
it a shot I will email the head of
11:53
security at Walt Disney World and just
11:56
say CU at that point I realized I cannot
11:58
just go go up and knock on Walt Disney
12:02
Orlando Walt Disney company's door
12:05
because I would be on property and from
12:07
what I've heard that if you have a
12:09
trespass against you and you go on
12:11
property where you are not allowed that
12:13
you can actually get jail time sometimes
12:14
up to 30 days in jail and I really did
12:17
not want to go to jail just trying to go
12:19
appeal a ban so I found the email of the
12:22
security director at that time and I
12:25
emailed him this is right before
12:27
Christmas and I pretty much I pleaded my
12:30
case and I said look I've been I have
12:32
not been back on property I've been to
12:34
to Disneyland and I've been good I have
12:36
not been going backstage anymore I
12:39
understand what I did and why it was
12:40
wrong and why I should not be putting
12:42
that stuff out in to the universe and my
12:44
excitement in the past had gotten the
12:46
best of me my curiosity had gotten the
12:48
best of me and I explained the whole
12:50
situation and I said I'd really like to
12:52
come back there and reprove myself prove
12:55
myself that I'm going to abide by the
12:57
rues stay above the belt
12:59
from then on and I had like in my mind I
13:02
was kind of like flipping a coin in my
13:04
mind this could go 50/50 this could go
13:05
the way where it might happen it might
13:08
not happen part of me thought it would
13:10
happen that appeal was actually rejected
13:13
I was actually told no we are going to
13:15
keep enforcing the trespass you are not
13:17
going to be allowed back so that made me
13:21
very sad and I thought well if they're
13:23
not going to let me in back after a year
13:25
it's probably never going to happen I
13:28
pretty much need to move on with my life
13:30
what I did the mistakes that I have made
13:33
have actually like going to haunt me
13:36
forever and I'm going to be punished
13:37
forever so I started to accept that as
13:41
time went on months and months went by
13:43
it became almost time for the second
13:46
anniversary of what happened which would
13:49
have been
13:50
2015 January 2015 which would have been
13:54
seven or 8 months ago around that time I
13:58
actually drove out here to California
14:00
and I actually started to contemplate
14:01
moving here I bought an annual pass to
14:04
Disneyland which is very interesting
14:06
because I was allowed to get a
14:08
Disneyland pass purchase a Disneyland
14:11
annual pass which I have had for a year
14:13
and a half now so I renewed it in
14:16
January so I've had it this January I'll
14:18
have an annual pass to Disneyland for 2
14:20
years so I a year and a half I had had a
14:23
pass at that time I had had an annual
14:24
pass for almost a year the first time I
14:27
had the appeal I had not had an annual
14:29
pass I did not get the annual passel
14:30
right after that so I ended up moving
14:32
out here at the beginning of the year
14:34
around the same time as I was eligible
14:36
for my second appeal I became a huge fan
14:40
of Disneyland I became inundated with
14:42
the history of Walt Disney and
14:44
Disneyland here in Anaheim and I thought
14:47
well a year ago I tried appealing this
14:51
trespass warning look at this whole car
15:01
so many old cool cars in Southern
15:01
California driving around the circle so
15:03
when it was time for my second
15:05
appeal I kind of just said you know what
15:08
I'm not even going to appeal it I just
15:10
said I'm just going to shut all that out
15:12
forget that it's ever going to happen
15:14
and just immerse myself with Disneyland
15:17
history even though Walt Disney World
15:19
was my childhood and where I was brought
15:21
up and all my memories were out there I
15:23
was going to make new memories here in
15:26
Anaheim at Disneyland so I actually did
15:28
not at the second
15:30
time so I pretty much had written off
15:32
the fact that I was ever going to get
15:34
back to Walt Disney World a couple
15:36
months later later went by and I had
15:39
another legal issue I needed to get some
15:42
legal advice nothing super major but I
15:45
needed a little bit of legal advice that
15:48
I needed I am not a lawyer and I've
15:50
realized when it comes to legalities
15:52
that people that think they know the law
15:54
really do not know the law so if you
15:57
have something legal pops into your mind
16:00
or pops into your life you probably
16:02
should probably get a lawyer so I asked
16:05
around I contacted a friend who
16:08
contacted another friend and this friend
16:10
said hey I know a very good lawyer in
16:13
Florida who can handle this legal
16:15
problem not the Walt Disney thing
16:17
another thing that was not too dramatic
16:19
but I needed some advice in the legal
16:22
realm so this
16:25
person told a friend told another friend
16:27
I emailed this lawyer laer whose name is
16:29
Joshua L Finton down in South Florida
16:33
and he handled This legal question that
16:36
I had and after that legal question was
16:39
actually completed he actually said I
16:43
like watching your videos I know who you
16:44
are I know the situation that you are in
16:48
and I would really like to help you
16:50
appeal this trespass warning that you
16:53
have to Walt Disney World my first
16:55
reaction is yeah yeah yeah whatever yeah
16:57
yeah yeah whatever it's never going to
16:58
happen
16:59
there's no sense in even trying there's
17:01
no sense in even trying so he convinced
17:04
me to attempt this again he said let me
17:08
just write up a letter to Walt Disney
17:11
Corporation in Florida let me just write
17:14
up a letter say the things that you have
17:16
said in your past appeal and let me just
17:20
approach them with a different a
17:23
different
17:25
angle so that's basically what happened
17:28
this lawyer in South Florida I think
17:29
he's actually down in boka reton which
17:31
is down near Miami area Josh Fenton
17:34
Joshua L Fenton I believe is actually
17:36
his full name Josh if you're watching
17:39
this I I uh apologize if I did not get
17:42
your middle initial correct so he helped
17:46
me out dramatically he was a he really
17:49
helped me out a lot and I really have to
17:51
thank him and the circle of friends
17:53
around him that push me in his Direction
17:57
because I don't honestly I do not know
17:59
if I would have ever appealed it again
18:02
it was a very heartbreaking
18:04
situation it
18:06
really it really knocked the wind out of
18:08
me to not be allowed back to Walt Disney
18:11
World to just doing some things wrong I
18:13
know I was in the wrong for what I did I
18:16
know that filming backstage is not
18:18
allowed and I encourage everyone out
18:19
there to never do that and to stay
18:23
completely above the belt when it comes
18:26
to anything any theme park especially
18:28
Disney anything just when there are
18:31
rules set in place abide by the rules I
18:34
was I was not allowed there for almost
18:36
three years for 2 years and about seven
18:39
or eight months and I honestly never
18:41
thought I was going to be allowed back
18:43
there and now that I say that Joshua L
18:47
Fenson he helped me out a lot I don't
18:49
know if he has a website or you probably
18:52
just Google his name if anyone uh or

Josh if you're watching this if you want
18:56
to leave a comment in there if you want
18:58
to get a hold of Josh for any s of legal
19:01
stuff like that I definitely I
19:03
definitely owe him a lot of thanks as
19:07
well and I owe everyone else a lot of
19:10
thanks because when this whole situation
19:13
actually happened a lot of people came
19:17
to my defense a lot of people started
19:20
doing these petitions there were
19:21
petitions floating around all over the
19:24
Internet and I was I really in my mind I
19:28
did not want to start up a campaign to
19:31
get me back in I never reposted any of
19:34
these petitions I never commented on
19:36
them I never favored them on social
19:38
media I never liked them I never
19:39
reposted them and the reason I did that
19:42
is because I did not want anyone to
19:45
think that I was trying to be the right
19:47
guy I did not want to be the right guy I
19:50
didn't want people to think that I was
19:52
correct and that what the punishment
19:54
that was put upon me was unjust or
19:56
unfair I knew in my mind that when you
19:59
do something wrong you should actually
20:01
be punished you should actually get a
20:03
slap on the wrist or a whatever other
20:05
punishment that you're going to get so
20:07
that is why I never really honestly
20:10
pushed the whole thing of trying to get
20:12
back in publicly I never did another
20:14
Vlog saying oh woe is me it's been a
20:17
year I can't get back in I never posted
20:19
anything on message boards I never said
20:21
anything negative about the
20:24
situation so I just I just kept the
20:27
faith pushed forward stayed the
20:31
course and ladies and gentlemen it
20:33
actually happened I am actually
20:35
back I'm actually allowed back at Walt
20:38
Disney World that's amazing and a couple
20:41
other misconceptions people now were
20:42
circulating saying oh this is all fake
20:45
you're not allowed back this is all this
20:47
is all fake you are not allowed back and
20:49
to those people that are watching this
20:51
that are saying this is all a publicity
20:53
stunt Adam is not allowed back at Walt
20:55
Disney World I just spent four or five
20:57
days at Walt Disney World with my good
20:58
friend Justin scard who was Snapchatting
21:00
a thousand Snapchats we were posting on
21:02
Twitter we're posting on Instagram I put
21:04
up a main Channel video I posted where I
21:07
was every 5 seconds I did meetups with
21:09
people like in their periscopes in their
21:11
Vlogs on Twitter in the park out of the
21:13
park
21:14
everywhere it's safe to say this is not
21:17
a publicity stunt I am actually back at
21:20
Walt Disney World Properties even though
21:23
right now I'm back in Anaheim California
21:25
but I am allowed a lot of people also
21:26
are now saying circulating they're
21:28
saying
21:29
oh it was not a lifetime ban it was only
21:30
a three-year ban so if you do something
21:32
wrong you will only ban for 3 years well
21:34
it actually wasn't 3 years it was
21:36
actually 2 years and seven or eight
21:38
months and it is a lifetime thing unless
21:41
you appeal it and unless they reverse it
21:44
and I actually received the paperwork
21:46
from the lawyer from the director of
21:50
security at Walt Disney World I have his
21:52
signature or her signature the director
21:54
of Walt Disney World Security on a piece
21:57
of paper and I printed that out and I
21:59
had that with me in my camera bag this
22:02
last week when I went down to Florida
22:04
just in case something happened and when
22:06
I was there I actually talked to a few
22:08
security guards I talked to a lot of
22:10
cast members a lot of cast members
22:11
recognized me and everyone said it's
22:14
good to have you back and that means the
22:17
world to me not only to be legally
22:19
allowed to go back somewhere but to
22:22
actually be by cast members and
22:23
employees and even people wandering
22:25
around the park to be actually embraced
22:27
and allow allowed back to be welcomed
22:31
back is more important than any legal
22:34
facet that actually happened and that
22:37
that means the world to me I love you
22:40

22:43
