Just to go slightly OT, but I recall hearing that this is pretty much what Rob Plays has done.

I grew up in a very poor area and I moved to Florida to try and make a better life of some kind. I got a job at Disney and it was terrible. (theres actually a video of me discussing working at Disney and Pete made me scrap it because he said It seemed like I hated Disney and was going for them too hard - ironic right?) I made $7.83 per hour but it was my dream so I did it. I lived in a terrible motel on 192 called 'Home Sweet Home' that ended up getting shut down because one of the rooms exploded from a meth lab mistake and its all I could afford because they gave cast members a discount to live there. So I lived in that hotel or if I had a late shift (extra Magic hours would go til like 2am) and then had to open the next day (be back by like 6 or 7am) I would just sleep in the cast parking lot with some of the others that had the same issue or some were just homeless and lived in their car and would get a gym membership to have a shower.
I started seeing a guy who wasn't 'out' and he was a police officer. He was drunk one night and asked me to pick him up from a bar in downtown and I did. When I got there I had 2 beers with him and drove him home. I got pulled over after dropping him off and the officer questioned me hard about 'who' I dropped off and I wouldn't say because I didn't want to out him. So they arrested me, I blew under the legal limit but they arrested me anyway. (Apparently you can be arrested at any Blood Alcohol Level, but you only lose your license if you are at or over the legal limit) I didn't lose my license or anything, but I was no call, no show for work at Disney, so that was auto firing (beyond me already having dings for being late, Im late a lot sadly). I was given 24 hours to vacate the motel because I was no longer a cast member. I was contacted by every lawyer in town saying I was in a lot of trouble and needed to prepare for court, so I hired a very expensive lawyer and maxed out my credit card doing that. Then I couldn't rent anywhere without a job, so I had to live in my car a bit there until I had some money. So it was just a long series of unfortunate events. My case was immediately thrown out in court and the officer got reprimanded (turns out he and the guy I was seeing were going for the same promotion and he wanted to 'out' him to help his own odds apparently) but that didn't get me my job back or place to live. So long story short, desperation.
I slowly started to rebuild my life and finances and I took gigs like Uber, TaskRabbit and Instacart to try and stay afloat, but the money was definitely a lot better in escorting. I paid my taxes on it so I was able to buy a house and had my proof of income. I built that business up but I didn't want to do that forever, it was just a temporary thing but then I met Pete and I spoke earlier about first meeting him and that he was very pleasant and he gave me a chance with a job, but I just quickly realized, I wasn't given a job. I was just his personal escort and I was still in the same boat I was before, just making a lot less money and now with a bunch of jewels and crap I dont even like. I was determined to try and make the DIS work in some fashion because I felt there was something good there for me but I just didn't know what exactly, just a gut feeling that I should stick with it and eventually Ill know the plan. I actually asked to start as a volunteer and I begged to not go on camera but eventually I had to step in for someone on a Tuesday show because there wasn't enough people and Pete wanted me on everything, whether I was good or not at the topic.
I actually like doing real estate but I don't like running my own business. I like having a structured day and then when Im done, to shut my brain off. The DIS and MTO (and now with having my own) it just feels like my brain is having to constantly work, even when Im not active, so business ownership isn't my strong suit but it's the cards I have right now.
When I stopped, I had to come to terms with what I had done for those years and I eventually accepted it and moved on and now I have funny stories. As far as the Pete side of things, I am not there yet with that experience and I currently feel it wasn't worth it and I wish I'd never met him. Down the road I am hoping it's just another funny story, but we will see.
Sean- thanks for sharing that very personal story. Stay positive. You are young and have so much more to do. So many more great experiences ahead of you. Your past is just that. In the past. Leave it there. It sounds like you are well on your way. Pete will not only be a funny story one day, he will be a hysterical story…one that you survived and became a stronger, better person. My respect for you has grown with each posting you have left here. Thanks again for being open, honest and self reflective. I hope you and your husband have a wonderful holiday. I’ll be in the parks with my family for Christmas time and hopefully I will run into you one day.
Thank you! I will be at Epcot Christmas Day and NYE and I believe Animal the Wednesday in between. Feel free to say hi if you see me
Epcot is Christmas Eve and AK is Monday for us. In town until the 30th visiting my daughter who just moved to Orlando in August (renting in Windermere). When she is ready to buy I know who she will be calling.
Thank you for sharing your story when you don’t have to. We are all trying to get through this journey of life the best we can. I hope openly putting your story out there gives you a sense of freedom and empowerment moving forward. Wishing you and your husband the happiest of holidays
Wow! Thank you so much Sean for sharing. I have a huge respect for those of us who struggle in life and then work their way out of it. You are doing great work, and I greatly appreciate your honesty. I obviously don't know you personally, but I have a major respect for your journey and I wish you and your adorable husband a very happy life!!
Sean:
Let me join the others in thanking you for being so open and honest with everything when you certainly have no reason you have to, while gaining the respect and support of this community.
You’re certainly a bright young man with the resilience to bounce back from everything you’ve been through, and this will certainly be no exception.
EDIT: As a former CP, I can definitely attest to those stories about sleeping in the cast lots. I didn’t personally, but a beloved CM at my location died of a heart attack one night while sleeping in the cast lot between shifts.

Don't worry...Corey the tech genius will be on it.WTH is going on with their various boards/forums right now? The formatting is all messed up, reply function not working etc... and it's been like that for more than 24 hours already. Lots of posts in the tech support forum, no pinned post to address it
Thank you Sean for your story and honesty. Not sure if you have mentioned this before but I'm curious about what really happened at the Hoop Dee Doo that night?
I've got news for Pete...for how long his channel has been around...48k views is nothing. He is obsessed with views but the channel doesn't get them.
Damn Sean respect man I felt your heart during that post. You come across pretensions on camera if you dial that down one notch you’ll be alright man. Seriously though mad respect for letting us know your most down time.
Thank god you don’t like that bleeping gawdy jewelry…so bleeping tacky

Said this before, will say it again: I love you Sean 
Also Craig with the #hosted hashtag, cringe, hour better than that man.
It’s so much more impressive and fulfilling to earn your own money and then purchase the things you want to enjoy rather than to be “hosted” by a company using you for promotional reasons lmao, who are they trying to impress

Any idea why Pete insists on involving his personal relationships with his businesses? Is it a control thing? You would think he would learn his lesson after a while.
I also would be interested to hear more about the Hoop De Doo story if there’s more to tell (other than Pete being the knight in shining armor).
Anything on Eric Gross and the original MTO? I know you might not be able to disclose.
Didn’t Pete duck around with Eric too?
If you go back through the thread (might be on the prior one), Sean explained the Eric Gross and MTO story, pretty interesting.
Yes! Please explain, I’m curious too
I mean why are there any brown or black people on the show or working for the agency? There are loads of black and brown Disney vlogers yet I’ve never seen one in the 10 years I’ve been watching.
Maybe they read this Forum and don't want to work there. Would you?
LOL I would embarrass Pete.
