If I remember correctly, it is temporary backstage building used by food, costuming and WDI. Of course, everything is temporary at a theme park.

Oh ya that's what it was. I agree, if they can shorten the ROA and clear 14 acres for SWL, they can flatten one building for an expansion pad. The question is if there really are plans for an attraction there in the not so distant future, why would they waste time/money and build that temporary building for food / costuming instead of figuring out a permanent solution?

A prefab steel building is pretty cheap and easy to take down. They probably see it worth having for a few years until they get ready to build something more permanent there.

Just when I thought the Mickey & Friends rooftop views were getting tedious this happens. :)

I'd like a detailed breakdown of how much each vlog actually costs. I assume they actually own their own cameras and equipment and aren't renting them. At $1,381 a month, they pull in $16,572 a year which could easily cover all their passes, and leave them with a boatload of cash to blow on all the food items they want.

Definitely to each his own...but when you really break it down, you're essentially paying people you don't know to go and enjoy Disneyland for you...and just report back how awesome it was. Such a bizarre world we live in.

Don't forget about all the free videos you get to watch.

Well I don't think it's appropriate to get in to specifics, but I'll say we were in the red before Patreon. But that isn't really the point of Patreon. People are just generous. They want to give. They give without asking. We were asked to start a patreon by many of our fans, just so they can give. It's kind of remarkable and amazing and we might not be doing this still today if it weren't for our fans. It's not a particularly lucrative way to earn an income. The rewards etc. are just some small way we can say thank you.

Does being in the red mean you were spending your own money on going to Disneyland and making the videos?

Yeah, I would kind of like a little clarity on that too. Obviously, not getting into your personal life...but you've previously said you have a full-time job, so I don't quite understand where you were "in the red". Unless you mean Fresh Baked as a company.

Gotcha. I appreciate your candor. I hope you don't feel like anyone here truly dislikes you guys.
You should come around more often.

lol, some truly don't like us. It's a fact. But I'm used to it. I just occasionally feel the need to speak up because truth can be scarce on the internet. People just say whatever they want without thought of justice or logic or fairness (lol...fairness).

Haha, well, you might be right actually, I'm only speaking for myself. And the internet is a horrible place to actually have a real, fair discussion.

From the point of view of someone who actually donates to FreshBakeds patreon, I do it because I get so much enjoyment from the videos and want to show my support and help the channel grow. It is a small amount of money but I don't care if they use it to buy churros at the park, toilet cleaner for the house or put it in their Swiss bank account.
