Shot most of it on location at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland without permission from The Walt Disney Company, owner and operator of both parks. Due to Disney's reputation of being protective of its intellectual property, the cast and crew used guerrilla filmmaking techniques to avoid attracting attention, such as keeping their scripts on their iPhones and shooting on handheld

video cameras similar to those used by park visitors. Director wanted to keep the film a secret from Disney until completion so, he edited the film in

South Korea.

Surprisingly, rather than suppressing the film, Disney chose to generally ignore it. Stops gaining attention from public and possibly forgotten about.

Can be seen on Netflix and be purchased on DVD.
