The Secret Lives of Disney Explorers | Vancouver News

A mysterious theft of Buzzy, a giant animatronic from Epcot’s defunct Cranium Command, sparks a wild documentary journey into Disney’s hidden subcultures. Follow the story of Patrick Spikes, a former Disney insider turned suspect, and the deep bond between superfans Dave Ensign and the late Ed Barlow Jr., who risked everything to explore abandoned rides like Horizons. Dive into the edgy, punk-skateboarding world of urban explorers who infiltrate Disney’s forgotten corners — from Discovery Island to secret tunnels — all while uncovering a booming black market for rare Disney artifacts. Director Joshua Bailey, a former Disney employee, keeps the focus on culture over trespassing, revealing how the parks themselves are designed to hide secrets — with “go-away green” paint and sky-blue buildings — while celebrating the passion, danger, and dark humor of those who dare to trespass.
