How do you know he didn't?

Maybe they are thinking they are getting a selfie when all of a sudden some music starts blaring out of the smartphone...Then the character is stuck in the middle with 2 guys singing some raunchy song to a princess..
Usually they are a waste and I pass them by in my feed when my nieces are doing them on IG and Facebook but... he had posted somewhere that he asked each character handler and character beforehand (many he knows personally because he works in rides), and the whole thing is literally under 1 minute during M&G because they are only 15 sec clips and it takes several seconds to tell them what he's doing.
I totally understand (after points made here) for corporate not wanting it for copy-cats and not being able to control what goes viral - but the corporate social media team who tries to make things "go viral" does so MISERABLY.
Who cares about the newest cupcake?
Who cares about Stampylongnose (my kids follow his Minecraft kid-tube channel) being a Grand Marshall in a parade? My kids (and myself) had more fun watching this guy lip sync songs with characters. The official WDW social media team is "in-touch" with the general populous as much as DC is.

To be fair, they're not nearly as out-of-touch as other corporations. Google "Corporate social media fails" and marvel at some of the tragic hilarity, like Build-A-Bear trying to use the 9/11 anniversary to shill stuffed animals.

Disney= fun on their terms only.
Should they give exceptions? No of course not.
Should they put this guy to work doing what he does for these videos? Yes, they should and allow him creative freedom to do so.
Anything that Disney produces is always the same, especially for the parks.
I was not sure if I would like the videos, I went in with a closed mind. But they are actually very funny, creative, and I like the basic way in which they were done without the big production nonsense that people and companies believe will help sell the product.
My take on the videos, is that I really enjoy them. They are entertaining, and with me being in a sour mood and going through rough personal stuff, I needed the brief respite, and the videos fill that need.

^^^ this is a reason why I'm a fan of the creative and fun WDW viral videos that have come out over the last year (to TWDC's dismay).
@Victor Kelly, I'm glad the videos gave you some brief relief and hope things get better for you soon.
Correction: WDW's social media isn't out of touch - it's EXTREMELY boring and not creative. Yes the Build-a-Bear is out-of-touch and absolutely horrible. I cannot believe they did that.

Let's not forget American Apparel posting a picture of the Challenger exploding. Or the SpaghettiOs tweet that will live in infamy.

Disney's creativity is becoming stagnant and out of touch with much of its fan base. Whereas rivals are becoming more and more in sync with the fan base.

As noted above, it hasn't stopped them from trying to shill other films with fans Dubsmashing.
That's just strange!
Oh, that's just the tip of the strangeness iceberg with that show.
Yeah, between this, Gravity Falls, Wander Over Yonder, Star Wars Rebels, and the upcoming Ducktales relaunch, Disney XD is rapidly becoming my new favorite network.
