Adam Hattan (b.16 August 1993), Managing Director and Head of Operations for Hattan Company LTD; Businessman, EPCOT Cultural Representative, Social Media, and Viewer Relations Supervisor at the Walt Disney Company, Digital Marketing Manager, Travel Guide Writer, Bestselling Author, Literal Clown, is a UK-based vlogger focused primarily on Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Line experiences.
He frequently travels with his 'friend' Gary C. They are not a couple even though Gary is the only man Adam has seen naked in the last 5 years.
Adam and Gary C
What did Adam do before YouTube?
Adam worked at Walt Disney World, Florida (twice to our knowledge) through the Cultural Representative Program during 2013 & 2016. He did not complete the second program and left with several months left on his contract. It's unclear why, but it's speculated that his YouTube channel was gaining steam and he wanted to pursue fame on his own terms. There are rumours he sent out audition tapes to TV production houses.
A ‘best-selling’ author, Adam's most creative writing is seen when giving himself job titles.
Adam's LinkedIn claims he worked for the Walt Disney World Company as their
Social Media and Viewer Relations Supervisor in 2015, at age 22 with no work experience or higher education. In reality, he was guest-posting on Disney fan accounts.
Other attempted
scams careers include freelancing social media for local businesses and Disney Travel Agent where he charged £59 for a FaceTime. Neither lasted long and have been removed from Linkedin.
What does Adam do now?
Adam's current self-appointed job role at the Hattan Company Ltd started as 'Director of Operations', changed to 'Business Professional' and is now the highly ambitious 'Managing Director'.
His actual job is 'Jobless Holiday Vlogger and Tatty Merch Flogger’ which is more ‘BORRRRING' than 'MORRRNING'.
From his website, in his own words
Adam refers to the Hattan Company Ltd as if it's a multinational company despite being a company-of-one from his living room. He temporarily had someone help with packing orders, but gov records show no one has ever been employed.
Hattan Company products include:
- Disney Dream Guides and Planners of outdated tips copied from other blogs. He was awarded best-selling author under a niche Amazon selling category.
- Children’s books despite hating children and illustrated by someone else.
- Tea lights
- Prints, selling signed prints of someone else’s monorail graphic for £42, and Gary's iPhone photo of the Disneyland Paris castle.
YouTube remains his bread and butter. Despite Media Studies at school having a profound impact on his life and career, his vlogs are terribly edited and camera work is often blurry and out of focus.
We don't know how he funds a lifestyle of long haul first class flights, $600 a night Disney hotel stays and £14k cruises every few months for him and Gary, but we can rule out sugar daddy as he's been
approaching men on Grindr
Gary C - Friends on Benefits
Gary (b.18 November 1980) is a professional scrounger and bitch to Adam, who lives with his parents in Kent. A NEET (not in Education, Employment or Training) in his 40s, manchild can't work due to crippling anxiety&depression yet he can visit Disney 3-6 times a year for rollercoasters, meeting viewers and dressing up as a pumpkin, pirate, crocodile or parrot. As of 2023, he has done 7 Disney cruises.
Adam pays for the entire trip including food. In exchange, Adam gets someone who is more entertaining than him in his own vlogs, as well as
access to Gary's DAS pass.
Gary's only expenses are excessive Disney merch hauls (mostly pins) from the pocket money his parents give him for helping with the washing up, which he openly admitted in a now deleted tweet. He once showed off a $800 pin haul from one trip . https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GmlAC5jbZj4&t=1208s
His Grandma also helped adding to his funds by dying just in time for him to buy a new laptop.
After his expensive freeloading trips (Gary won't fly economy), Gary will spend at least 3 weeks rotting away in bed to ‘recover' while his mum does his post-trip laundry.
On IG Live, he called out Tattlers for being bored people with 'nothing going for them'. He was lying in his childhood bed with a broken mattress at 3am.
Why is Gary in a wheelchair?
When in the parks, Adam and Gary are often mistaken by fans of Little Britain as Lou and Andy. Doctors have said nothing is wrong with Gary, but as he refuses to leave the house unless Disney is involved, his legs forget how to function and his muscles have depleted. Gary bought a steps master aiming to walk 10mins a day but it was too stressful so gave up.
Forever victim and self-diagnosed as ‘disabled’, Gary can't work due to the following conditions:
- nut allergy
- dairy intolerance
- hypersensitivity to over stimulation
- cocoa intolerance
- eczema
- throat is sensitive to dry air
- leg issues
- [social] anxiety & depression
- laziness
How does Gary know Adam?
Gary approached Adam at Summer in the City - an annual vlogger event at London's Ally Pally. Gary used to attend each year, latching onto any semi-successful vloggers to help launch his career. He also
took the podium for talks yet can't work. He was well into his 30s, where the general age was around 20.
Gary had no interest in Disney until he visited Walt Disney World for the first time, aged 36, with Adam.
What else do we know about Gary before Adam
Adam is not the first muppet Gary has ‘worked’ with as he previously ran a YouTube called 'CheekyTV', featuring him with his hand rammed up a puppet's arse. Gary even climbed up the
4th plinth with Cheeky during a protest and made national press.
His first actual known appearance was hanging around The Skorpion Show, a show heavily targeted towards young black women.
Despite his social anxiety, Gary attended performance classes at Sylvia Young's and studied drama at Uni. He dropped out due to having a breakdown.
Gary's only ever had two jobs; a Saturday job at Woolworths and cruise ship/hotel singing. Both were over 20 years ago. He has been a jobless, entitled c*nt ever since.
What’s Gary Cam?
Some of Adam's vlogs feature 'Gary Cam'. During a meal, Adam will strategically leave the camera on the table and go to the toilet. While he takes an extra-long shit, Gary will turn the camera onto himself, put on the waterworks and brownnose Adam - thanking him for funding his dream career as a perpetually 5-year-old.
Adam's Rent-a-Friends
Adam pays to have friends via gifted holidays despite having no actual job and getting into debt. Aside from Gary C, other people who put up with him include:
Jen Lefforge
Jen is 50+ year old privileged American housewife whose rich pilot husband funds her seeing her Disney friends. As delusional as Adam, she believes she's a self-made business woman. She charges $250 to coach people via Zoom on YouTube success.
Honorable Mention with Jen: bbBrooke
Brooke is a good friend of Jen, wannabe IG influencer, and owns a rather successful online store selling Minnie Ears and other Disney related bits and bobs. She is from Pennsylvania and is married, no children. With her husband, they also rent an apartment in Orlando for their frequent trips. She is a running fanatic and participates in every runDisney event, completing the ultimate challenges. bbBrooke is also her own model for her business, which is always ill-advised from a marketing perspective. She comes across as rather shy and talks frequently about her dark times, but her endless self-promotion says otherwise. It's obvious from her IG posts (no YT channel that is known) she is trying to get Disney's attention and sees herself as a spokesperson. All of her posts feature herself and her achievements, which is not a bad thing but can be cringe.
bbBrooke and Jen Lefforge
She also hosts a booth at the runDisney Expos where she sells her merch and allows stans to take photos with her. She has appeared in a few of Adam's vlogs where Jen was also present. It's not a stretch to imagine some type of collab with her, since he has done collabs with other online shops for candles and Minnie ears. And because Brooke has a successful business model, it's a short putt to imagine Adam trying to attach himself.

Max and Alex
Max and Alex are aspiring Disney vloggers funded by a large inheritance. They got engaged during a trip with Adam, but left Adam behind with the breadbasket at Toppolino’s, only allowing Gary to capture the footage.
Kieran / ItsKieranTime
Adam got into debt by showering Kieran (who is taken) with gifts and a free cruise with an upgraded suite. Bland but inoffensive. We’re waiting for footage of Adam licking up Kieran’s bathwater.
CheersEars
CheersEars own a £1.8m hotel and their kids attend private school, so unlike Adam, they can actually afford their trips. Adam was his usual creepy self around their son.
Brogan Tate
Brogan is friends with Gary due to their fondness of doing fuck all and hoarding Mickey Mouse pins. Despite Brogan being more popular, Adam rarely mentions or collabs with her. She attended Adam's 30th birthday as he was that desperate for numbers.
Disney in Detail
Victoria will occasionally spend a day with Adam if their trips crossover. Victoria has spent years perfecting angles to hide her real size of ‘wider than a Target Trolly’. Adam undid all of Victoria’s work in a
10sec shot when she was caught off guard.
Friends from the Archives:
Carrie Hope Fletcher, Pete Bucknall
Carrie is a successful West End musical theater actor. She's appeared in Les Miserables, ALW's Cinderella, The Addams Family, and Heathers, to name a few. She is now married to another West End actor, Joel Montague, and they are parents to Mabel Hope Montague (b. March 2024). Carrie's older brother is Tom Fletcher from the band "McFly," and he is married to Giovanna Fletcher, who hosts a popular podcast as well as performs in the cross overtheater. Giovanna also has some sort of business relationship with UK Disney and has been gifted all-expense paid trips to WDW as compensation.
In the 2016-17 time frame, Carrie dated Pete Bucknall (now goes by Peter Kingston professionally), who is also
very good friends with Gary C. It should also be noted that Pete is a dead ringer for Flynn Ryder...he knows it, and so does Adam.

Carrie is also a massive Disney fan and has quite a few old vlogs on her YouTube channel with her family, Pete (possibly hidden or removed), and Adam. When Pete and Carrie broke up, they were days away from a WDW trip and decided to go separately. Adam hung out with both independently, vlogging it, and to his credit, walked a fine line between the exes - as it was not an amicable break.
Rachel Lanning
Rachel is an
actress from the UK with a few minor roles/credits. It's not clear how Adam and Rachel know each other, but they have traveled to WDW together and cruised together on DCL in the British Isles. She is quite personable and photogenic. No tea or trash is available or known about their friendship or otherwise, however, her last trip to WDW was with a group of friends, and did not include Adam, although he was there at the same time solo.
Adam is perma-single but plays out the boyfriend fantasy with Flynn Ryder and an airport staff member who glanced at him once.
bbBrooke and Jen LefforgeShe also hosts a booth at the runDisney Expos where she sells her merch and allows stans to take photos with her. She has appeared in a few of Adam's vlogs where Jen was also present. It's not a stretch to imagine some type of collab with her, since he has done collabs with other online shops for candles and Minnie ears. And because Brooke has a successful business model, it's a short putt to imagine Adam trying to attach himself.
