I can't stand this guy. Just a stupid young punk, IMO. He's one of those people that have that "punch me" face, and I would love to oblige. I'm hoping he'll continue to be stupid and get arrested and do jail time.

Over at Disneyland, they offer a guided power-walk for resort hotel guests through California Adventure before it opens. I wonder, if in part, this is meant to be an alternative to deter would-be unauthorized urban explorers.
I seriously doubt it.
People that do this are not just interested in seeing what is behind the curtain. They want the fame and popularity that comes with a successful YouTube channel and the thrill of doing something less than legal.

There is an attraction at my local Six Flags that had been opened for decades, and then closed for about a decade, and then reopened in 2000 for a limited time and then closed again indefinitely that I may or may not have snuck into and looked around.
Casa Magnetica
It was a really neat attraction, but the manpower it required was just too expensive. At least, that's the theory.
Anywho, If I did such a thing, I broke the law and would have risked my season passholder status. I would never do that to personally witness a legendary attraction that still exists protected by a single "do not enter" sign and splintery looking rope. Nope, never!

I agree that the social media bump is what these idiots are really after, but I still wonder the Disney's intent was discourage unauthorized entry.

I agree with you,
What draws my to other WDW youtube channels like Defunctland, yesterworld, DFB or TimTracker is because of the information I get is about rides and events. For someone who gets there once a year it's a fun way to keep up with the parks and get that taste of nostalgia.
When I see 'abandoned' videos there are some that try and take an approach of educating what was, what happened and current state. Then there are the shock 'OMG SOOOOO CREEPY ABANDONED!!!! SMASH THAT LIKE N SUBSCRIBE BUTTON!!!!' ones that are just for shock views and SEO. It is to make them/their channel or whatever multiplatform they are with make money. I like to think I vote with my views.

I think sneaking into Disney is a thrill, but not one worth the risk. I wouldn't do it. I will admit another family member and I once drove around the Magic Kingdom and figure there are a couple spots where you could climb a fence and walk through a bit of a forest in order to end up around where the Liberty Belle Riverboat is, or Haunted Mansion. And even then, I still am not 100% sure there isn't another fence to scale.
Too bad they're not trying to sneak into Gatorland. That'd make for a fun video.
For some- because it's there.
It's not like once everyone is gone Disney just turns the lights off and its night. it doesn't work that way. There are several guests that stay at the hotels and close to the parks. Disney has around the clock security. After everyone is gone every park get a security check through the night. The parking lots do to, Disney springs does.
In the early 80's and 90's before all the high tech passes and everything it was easier for people to sneak in to a park. Disney had actual paper tickets. Those tickets either didn't require a finger print or face picture. It was the size of a credit card and paper. The ticket had the date on and what type of it. So people would go up to the entrance the ticket to get in. I've seen this done. If you had 5 people and only 4 tickets. One person would leave the park with two tickets and give the second ticket to another person and then those people could walk back in.
If Security doesn't catch the ones hiding in the park, then the overnight cast members cleaning and fixing up the park will eventually run into them.
Yes they will. Disney is like its own city. It has its own fire department. Its own police station. Gas station. It just need a Disney grocery store. Ha ha There is always someone inside of the parks and on the premisses of Disney.
