Oh just sharing some more adventures that went down while working at the most magical place on the planet (Walt Disney World). All artwork done in deviantART muro: muro.deviantart.com/
Lmaoo. Shoutout to my British people. I worked for Universal Orlando and a majority of foreign tourist are from England. The realism of that made it all the funnier.
Crowbean yeah, I agree it he had let them in, he probably would’ve gotten written up for breaking the rules, and if you get written up a certain amount of times, you get fired
I remember my mum telling me that when we went to Disney in the early 2000's (I was only a toddler then) that two blokes stole an old woman's purse and had made a dash for it, my dad giving chase. My mum then runs up to one of the security guards and tells him what happened, he looked in the direction the thieves went, then back at her and said "Don't worry madam, they wont make it out of here", a few minutes later my dad was walking back to us, with the thieves who were being escorted by two other men who worked for the Disney secret services.
+ESL 420BlazeIt Your not a "true" american. No one is 100 % murican nowadays. Were all from different countries with different race etc etc. Anyone can technically be murican.
I have incredibly mixed feelings for that English family tho. If I were in Swoo’s shoes, I’d probably have done the same thing, and I’d feel terrible for having to play the bad guy. Even if it wasn’t their fault, there’s nothing I could do besides giving them my condolences. Those rules are in place for a reason. Making one exception might seem harmless enough, but you let one late family in, and then you could have like 50 late families begging to let you in. It’s a slippery slope that’s not worth risking.
Yeah, that is true. Even if you tried to keep it a secret, the place is so crowded that any guest or manager could have seen you do it and you would get written up or fired on the spot. Plus, if you need the money and you're one of the only POCs there, you'd risk looking bad and losing your chance to earn a decent amount of money.
I worked Epcot Festivals and Star Wars:Galaxy’s Edge. I was guest flow at GE for the opening of Rise of the Resistance and we had a virtual queue, which filled up within 20 minutes of rope drop. The sheer number of people who would get upset with me for not letting them on the ride was crazy. So many people told me that I ruined their vacation that I eventually had a competition with some of my co-workers to see who ruined the most vacations.
So this is totally full-circle, but I remember watching this video way back when I was young and impressionable. When you said to be “the best employee you could be,” I actually took that to heart. I remember getting a job at a really big tech company and applied that philosophy day in and day out, all because of you. All because I watched this video. The job didn’t entirely work out, but coming back to watch this full circle... man, I remember how hard I was trying. I felt so inspired because if sWooZie could do it and make it fun, why couldn’t I? Thank you sWooZie for helping me remember such a big moment from my past and inspiring me to do better! You rock!
Once took your advice of "outdoing myself". We're not allowed to accept tips at my job, but a customer bought be a case of oreos, and I love Oreos so yay!
They call it Asset Protection. I walked in to one and randomly asked the cashier "how many AP's are working tonight?". He said "oh sorry miss but I can't tell you that.".
+Regina Palisano as a retired cop... i worked with all levels of walmart security left and right. asset protection isn't some highly guarded secret. almost every store (target walmart etc ) has lp's (loss prevention) in pain clothes that you would never realize work there and follow thieves on camera.
"Y-you see that rock over there sir? We'll even sit on the rock-we'll jst-look at the sharp edges so we'll probably cut ourselves and bleed to death on it we don't care! Just please! Pleease, pleease........" idk why I died so hard😂😂😂😂
2018 is almost over and it has been the hardest year of my life. I just wanted to re-watch this video before it was over. I've dealt with extreme insecurities and I just wanted to thank you sWooZie, I watched this video and it made me realize I don't have to be the best or what everyone considers great; I just need to do the best I can and work from there. I saw this in augest and its been my goal since
Dude, I say this with sincerity, you ought to go into voice acting at some point. I about died with your re-telling of that British family trying to get in... lol. Great video!
I saw a Disney secret service on my trip last week and I only noticed him because I noticed the clear earpiece in his ear and I showed it to my whole family and he said something in his microphone and looked at me like "dude why u blow my cover" and he hurried away looking all paranoid around at all the guests.
Funny story, I went to Disney a few weeks ago, and I walk up to a manager who is praising an employee, and I just say in a voice like Swoozie' s whispering voice "Disney's secret service". The manager walks up to me and asks "How did you learn about that?" I just reply with "Swoo-" then he just starts yelling and cursing, then he kicks me out of the park, I think he lost his job then, but he deserves it, cursing at Disney? Shame.
I actually knew about the secret service. My mom and her friend sat on a bench talking for two hours while my friends and I were going around, and someone came up to them and started asking them questions about if they had kids, where there kids are, what they are doing, why are they just sitting there, like really more questions than a curious stranger would ask.
So two girls on a field trip to Universal a few years ago went into a gift shop and stole something (I forget what, maybe jewerly or something), and the secret service people, who are, of course, dressed up to look like every other visitor there and blend in, saw them and followed them, then when they caught the two they went to our band teacher and told them what happened and that they wanted to bring the two girl's parents here to Universal to pick them up. But my band teacher convinced them that the parent's don't need to go and pick them up (it is at the very least a hour drive from the school, probably two hours, actually, imagine if your parents had to drive that long while thinking their child did an attempt in shoplifting) and so at the end the two girls had to sign a contract that if the two ever stepped on Universal property again they would get a fine (a big one). The rest of the field trip the two did nothing and the band teacher had to watch over them. Then my band teacher said when they got back to school the dean would decide their punishment, and, of course, the parent's would have their own punishment also for their child.
lpsfanforeverofficial Most stores have undercover security to prevent and apprehend shop lifters. They watch the security cameras and also walk around the store pretending to be customers. So it it really a surprise a company as big as Disney has em?

+Anisa Ally Yes but being they would be on a international flight, and will have to check in, and get there early and stuff, they still shouldn't be at the park. Getting out of there would be murder...having to get a taxi, and all of that. Plus, when I worked at Walt Disney World, I had many international guests say to me "Our plane leaves in 40 minutes, let us see the show...please"
+Wolfmyth100 No, but they are leaving to go to the airport in 40 minutes. We don't know when the actual flight is. They may be getting there 2 hours before the flight leaves; you don't know.
I know right!! I have always wanted to know how he did that. I've worked as a lifeguard for years at a luxury spa and gym and tips are just not a thing. Wtf. 😫
Talk to them, with a very carrying sounding voice. When talking to the men (the ones that tip) talk in a higher tone. Like you would to a child. No joke.
So true about the Secret Service. My girl and I just spent last week in DW, and I was spotting guys left and right that were dressed in jeans/T-shirts, but with sunglasses and hats on, hanging up on walls. They literally had *earpieces* in, and the first time I saw one I thought I was being crazy. I started getting close to him, saw the earpiece, and then he made me. I got followed around Animal Kingdom for two hours, from the Yeti ride to the safari and all the way to Dino USA. They're creepy :X
Even if it's true, he learned a valuable lesson because of that incident, which is to try to do his best in what he does and work hard. It's also a valuable lesson for us to do our best in life. :)
It probably was just a family that wanted to go somewhere else because the kids weren't enjoying the show. Not something overly dramatic but could use a spice up to make the story interesting
These are my confessions, just when i thought she said that she was gonna stop, said she got one on the way. These are confession, man im thrown and idk what to do. I guess i gotta give part 2 of my confession.
Huh... I’m at work right now at break.... and I was just watching this for fun-not the best day at work tho-but I NEEDED to hear that last message. I NEEDED that THANK YOOOU!
Going back to this after all these years, every Disney employee that played Kingdom Hearts 3 looking for the Lucky Emblems must have had moments like Swoozie after riding the monorail in the beginning of the vid
