WooPeat (noun): any episode of The Daily Woo where Adam does something (an activity, an event, a location) that he's already done many times before - sometime dozens of times!

Adam's house:
In November 2023 Adam closed on a 3br/2ba home in Celebration, Florida. There is no record of a mortgage, so it appears he bought the house with cash. The selling price was $539,000.


Adam's DVC points:

• Adam owns 150 DVC points at Riviera Resort
• Adam owns 100 points at the Grand Floridian DVC Villas
• Adam owns 250 points at the Aulani DVC resort
• Adam owns 100* points at the Disneyland DVC Villas
• So Adam owns a total of 600 DVC points. At an average of $200/pp, that's an investment of $120,000, probably closer to $130,000

*this is a guess as he never actually mentions in the video when he buys into Disneyland Villas exactly how many points he bought.

Adam's fancy golf cart:
Shortly after moving in to his half million dollar home, Adam bought a golf cart to drive around Celebration and the wide sidewalks of Rt. 192 in Central Florida. The cost with the options was approximately $18,000.
\

A recap on Adam's history and future prospects of leaving the USA for any reason:

- in 2013 he visited Tijuana for 5 mins
- he hasn't left the US since
- he has stated he wants to the see Rays play in every away baseball stadium in MLB (including Toronto), but he hasn't managed to get there
- he then stated he had no interest at all in going "overseas"
- recently, after announcing 2024 is his last year of daily vlogging, he said he would be interested to do some things "overseas" in 2025 and beyond, like Disneyland Paris or a Disney cruise

Don't expect Adam to be visiting the British Museum, The Louvre or the Prado Museum anytime soon.

But the very first step is getting that passport so he can go see his beloved Rays in Toronto either May 17-19, 2024 or July 23-25, 2024. IF he manages to do that, maybe he really will visit Disneyland Paris or go on a Disney cruise in 2025 or 2026.


Adam's Broken Promises and Unmet Goals of 2024:

• shut down the Daily Woo at the end of 2024 because the channel had "run its course" and it was "kind of weighing down his shoulders" (He's continuing on with daily in 2025)
• be the "fittest" he's ever been by his 50th birthday (fit is completely different than thin)
• not do any sort of crash diet (he starves himself all day, drinking only coffee, then eats one questionable meal at night)
• he would be using his home gym instead of joining a gym (he stopped working out in his home gym)
• train for and run a half marathon, and that he was excited about it and thanked his buddy Tim Tracker for helping and supporting him with doing it (he no longer wants to do it, but feels he has to try - walking only- but isn't training at all)
• build a new Woodio in his new house (postponed indefinitely)
• start a video podcast and other new content that he would "pepper in" by mid-2024 that would "overshadow" the daily vlogs, and even if not successful would still be his "passion project" (postponed indefinitely)
• said he has no interest in international travel (2025 will now be nothing but international travel the way he's talking)
• said that if he was interested in international travel, it would be Disney parks and cruises (now says he wants to "see the world" and "see how many countries I can go to" and "get out of his comfort zone" and that his international travel will NOT be focused on Disney or theme parks)

Adam's Thoughts in September 2024 on his 2025 International Travel:
"Got the passport, there's 150ish countries that I can visit without even getting a visa, all I got to do is get on a plane, super simple, book a plane flight, go nestle into the countryside, learn a few things, get out of my comfort zone, oh I'm so excited!"

Adam's thoughts at the end of 2024 on his life, romantic relationships, and his workload:
"When it comes to time and just events and things and looking back at situations and things over time frames over the last decade or so, I've come to realize that in my 40s - so I just turned 50 in August - there's a lighthouse up here - but in my 40s, the entire decade, well, except maybe the first year, almost 10 years, almost a decade, nine years, give or take a year, have not been in a committed, non-casual relationship and or dating scenario that has been anything of a serious nature in almost a decade, 9 years, early 2016, that's nine years so nine, not quite a decade, but a year shy of a decade. Obviously I've gone out and I've gone on dates and I've been in short-lived type of things but nothing that I would ever address as hey this is my girlfriend or this is someone that's going to lead to something way down in the future. And I met some great people, developed a lot of great friendships, acquaintances out of those scenarios, but I was just kind of thinking when I hit 50 and with the year turning, I'd like to maybe work on that and see if that could possibly change. I think at 50 years old it's time, and I've really developed a pretty good financial state to where if I wanted to get into something like that, and I've kind of got the whole, the whole creating and harnessing, building the channel up and building my YouTube career up, I don't need to focus on work quite as much and there, so there is the possibility that something could develop with a little more free time into that. If it doesn't work out. if that does not. is not the thing. still tapering back just a little bit would be pretty dang nice and not - kind of stepping away from that type of, of what I'm looking for, I think kind of needs to change into my 50s. Just kind of talking, talking out loud but really something I've been thinking about very very very very recently and wanted to to share that as well.

As I was stating about, like the dating scene and all that, I just think at half a century old myself, 50 years old, it's time to maybe possibly look past the casual dating thing and look into something more. I'm not saying it would be immediately, you know, to have wife and kids and you know a white picket fence - even though I do live in Celebration, I don't know if they allow a fence at my house - but if that opportunity presented itself I would be more inclined to embrace it at the age of 50 than I was at 37, broke, quitting my job at the feed store, living in a van, traveling around, definitely a little, a little, my mindset has changed over the years and definitely, recently I've been thinking a lot about that.

[Speaking of travel] It'd be nice be kind of nice to have someone, someone along for a few of them, and if none of that, none of that really comes my way, none of it comes into my life, I think I still need to kind of take a step back from a lot of things and really have a have a lot more me time, have a lot more at home time, relaxing times, not be so stressed about making these proclamations to myself and to the world about I'm going to do this challenge to myself. I really, really get harnessed and roped into that whole thing. A lot of way, lot of ways it motivates me, but then the problem is when I make those statements and I don't do them, it makes me feel bad and then you know people that are hearing that think, oh he didn't accomplish that.

Kind of tired of being single by my own design, by my own choice, most of the time it's my own decision to follow the path I've been on. I really have done really well with just being a, a loner - I'm a loner Dottie, a rebel - to use a Pee Wee quote, and I also need to, to probably be with someone that's localized, not something that's a distance long distance thing or out of state, something that would be you know something that would just work locally. And then if I choose to leave, the option's there to either go by myself, or go with that person. So that definitely is something that appeals to me.

Usually when I do anything, I go, I'm all-in with everything I do, no matter what it is, even the smallest portion thing. I just never really felt like I was ready and I feel like recently within the last so often I feel like, I feel like I'm ready mentally, financially, definitely the financial thing. I mean obviously years ago would not have been something I would have pertained to, to, you know, be with someone that's going to end up progressing into something more than that and...if I'm going to be with someone I want to be all-in with them, and I feel like I really was not mentally and financially ready to kind of pursue anything like that. And I feel like my mental state is a lot better when it comes to relationships now than it's ever been probably in my entire life to be honest...it's not fair to someone to just be like you know what let's let's be together and then I'm going to high tail it and go throw a bunch of random videos across the US for weeks at a time and never see you. You would not deal with that. But I feel like by taking some time off and maybe staying home a little more, feel like there's a possibility."

Adam's investments over the years, in detail, in his own words:

Adam revealed on April 14th, 2021 that his initial DIS stock purchase was May 22, 2000 at $118/share, when he said he took "90%" of his "savings" and put it into the stock. He was excited because it was at $187/share that day, so he was bragging.

He also said:
"I don't feel like, no matter what, over time, the history of things, I don't see it going lower than 117...in fact I feel it's going to go the opposite way I feel like it could go you know into, into the next six, seven months it could go up to 250."

Spoiler alert: it never went higher than about 190.

Adam next discussed DIS stock on Dec 28, 2021, when he announced that he had sold his Disney stock. As always, the story changes to make him look better/smarter

"let's just say I took all of my savings I invested it back when it was around a hundred dollars a share it even dipped down to I think 87 a share. I didn't buy too many then, I bought a few and then I bought some at 111 and then i bought the rest of 117. Today I believe at the closure it is 154 give or take so I think it was all said done I made about 40 a share."

So before he bought at $118, but now the story is that he bought "a little" at $87, "some" at $111, and most of it at $118. No mention of thinking it would hit $250, just that he sold at $154 - also no mention that he could have sold it at $187 (or at any point before it dropped to $154).

Remember, this is the end of 2021, and he also said this:

"part of the reason I did that part of the reason I sold them is like I kind of want to cut ties with disney for a while yes I do live in a disney built community yes I still have a disney vacation club membership yes I still have an annual pass to both coast which I probably will not be utilizing too much and once those expire I think one expires in a few months here at walt disney world and the other one later in the year I might not even renew I might just become a date ticket holder if I go on occasion I'm going to really taper back on that I've said all this before."

Not only did he say it all before 2021, he was STILL saying it all at the end of 2025, right before he died. That he would be cutting back on SoCal, haunt season, Disneyland, not renewing his Disneyland AP, etc.

"just to get it out of my head I sold off the stocks" - another recurring theme for Adam. He wanted to own stocks and invest, but also it stressed him out if the investment went poorly (hence selling at $154 before it dropped lower and stressed him out more)

Interestingly, regarding DVC, in this video he says "speaking of my disney vacation club dvc membership I have 150 points a year it is paid off I have paid it off that is good until I pass away to the end of my lifespan." No mention of passing it on to his sister or anyone else.

The next time he talked about DIS stock was July 21, 2022 and history is re-written yet again:

"I believe it was in january of 2021 I first bought a few shares of disney stock and then a couple months later in April I took all my savings all my extra savings I had been accumulating for a while and put all of it into disney stocks."

Of course, we know from his previous videos/statements that it wasn't Jan 2021 when he purchased. In Jan 2021 DIS stock was in the 170-180 range, near the high.

Look how the story changes further now to make him look like a genius and make people who told him it wasn't a good idea a bunch of idiots:

"took all the money I hadn't saved these other stated put it all in disney stock got a lot of you know a lot of people had different opinions saying that was not the right decision however in January of 21 I think about a quarter of the stocks that I had I bought for about eighty seven eighty eight dollars a share so I got a good chunk of it then around eighty eighty eight eighty seven ninety dollars a share and then the other three quarter good amount I ended up getting at 117 a share stock went up to 200 and then it started going back down when it got to around 168 I said you know what i'm gonna sell so I sold all of my stock and made a profit of at least 50 a share some of them 70 a share"

So from April 2021 when he first told this story to July 2022, his purchase price went from almost completely $118 and "just a few" at $87 to 25% was purchased at $87 and only 75% at $117. Profit went from $40-50/share to $50-70/share and he's made sure to add in "had a lot of opinions saying it was not the right decision".

The next time he spoke about DIS stock was November 15, 2022, when he announced that he decided to buy it again (as an aside, it is so sad reading him talk about eating and weight loss in almost every one of these videos, always promising himself he wasn't doing too bad and would really get to it soon):

"I just bought a bunch more Disney stock

a lot more I had some money in savings a separate savings been sitting on it made a pretty good profit the last time I bought and sold it so I have

"reinvested in Disney stock three or four days ago heck it the last time I did this I bought in at the dip at 87 88 a share I bought quite a bit and then I bought a lot more at 117 a share when it went up to 200 probably should have sold it dipped down to 160. I sold all of it"

So he's now said that he sold all the initial stock at: $154, $168 and $160 per share, depending on which video you watch.

He says he bought in again on Nov. 11 or 12, at $87.15/share. He saw it hit $87 again and assumed he'd just be able to do what he did last time: buy it and watch it go up to $190. He brags that it's already gone up $8 per share since he bought.

Here's the most interesting part: he says the following

"when (it) dipped down to 87 I said heck it, do it, I took the savings, what I had for my tax savings, I was waiting for that day, and I just pulled the cord."

So he didn't even have regular savings lying around (and he was making bank at this point in time), he had to take the money he had saved up to pay his taxes in the coming year and used that to buy the stock.

This is reinforced by what he says next:

"and also the whole stock thing at any moment I could just change my idea just to just sell what I have as long as I have made a profit even if I have to pay higher taxes in the short term if I need if it's an emergency or for something else I want to use the money for as long as it doesn't go below 87.15 I will have made a profit even if I'm paying you know the taxes on it so just kind of just kind of rolling with the punches as far as the rest of this year goes as far as my life goes."

He's indicating that if there was an emergency and he needed money, he'd have to sell the stock.

Next mention of the stock was May 19th, 2023 (7 months later), and he's upset with the stock price and also again rewriting history:

"I bought in at 87 uh probably I don't know nine or ten eleven months ago give or take"

The stock price was around $91-92 at the time, so h made sure to mention he was "still in the green" (yeah, couldn't even get that right)

Fast forward to August 24th, 2023, and the dream is over with the video titled "I Sold All My Disney Stock & Moving On":

"I have sold my Disney stock, it's gone, I did it about four or five days ago. Did it before it completely crashed. Today it went down three or four more dollars, thankfully I sold it before then. Didn't make any money on when I uh bought it a year ago nine months ago ten months ago but I didn't take much of a loss in fact a very teeny tiny tiny tiny loss, really pretty much hardly any loss, just enough to where it wasn't that big of an issue. I think I bought in at 87 and I sold at 86.5 something like that."

In May he said he bought it 9-10 months ago, now it's August and he's still saying 9-10 months ago. Very detail oriented. It's clear he dumped the stock because he needed cash to buy a house, which happened just 3 months later.

Next stop is March 12, 2024:

"bought some more stock today now that I have purchased a home need to start putting money in other areas as well look to the future and I'm pretty confident and I'm pretty I feel good about the Disney Corporation."

He only bought 8 shares. Probably cash poor after purchasing the house. Price was somewhere around $99/share, although he doesn't mention a price. This is also when he started mentioning that he only buys stock in companies he's really into and uses.

"I don't want to just buy stocks I don't even know what they are if that makes sense."

Certainly the best investment strategy. This was the video where he bought the one share of Starbucks while he waited for his coffee to be ready at Starbucks. He also mentions regretting his 100 point DVC purchase at the Grand Floridian, "but there is no immediate buyback plan with Disney Vacation Club you can't just go in and say Hey I want to take these points sell them back...but there are options that I'm going to I'm going to try to try to figure out over the next series over time frame maybe not the next series of days but over over, over a time frame and just see what I can come up with."

Never did a thing about it over any time frame or series of days. He mentions wanting to buy more Disney stock over time, "and even other investment opportunities as time goes on". It's clear that other than buying more Disney, Starbucks and Amazon stock, he did nothing else.

Last time he mentioned it was July 28th, 2025:

"I hold some Disney stock, some Starbucks stock, and some Amazon stock because I order a lot of stuff through Amazon Prime, and I go to Disney."

"I have the most of my stocks that I have are in Disney. And then I have a few, few in Starbucks and then I have more than a few in Amazon. But the, the bulk is Disney. I think I'm gonna continue buying more. I just if I have any extra cash, you know, outside the regular savings and other things like that, I'll throw it into some, you know, investments that I know a little bit about."
