Delve into the irreverent world of YouTubers, urban explorers, and internet misfits who venture deep into the forbidden zones of Orlando’s most iconic theme parks. Stolen Kingdom is a darkly compelling documentary that uncovers the hidden culture of obsession, nostalgia, and rule-breaking that thrives just beyond the carefully curated magic. Through first-hand footage and jaw-dropping stories, the film peels back the curtain on a world rarely seen by guests—where thrill-seekers, collectors, and fame-chasers push boundaries for access, attention, and artifacts. With sharp humor and a dose of danger, this eye-opening look at the underbelly of fan culture raises big questions about ownership, mythology, and the blurred lines between love and exploitation. After all, bad things really do happen at the happiest place on Earth.
