A man says he was fired from Disney World after posting videos of himself drinking from decorative fountains and entering Disney's wedding venue
Thelife4 min read
  • TikToker Jason Jeter recently posted two controversial videos of himself at Disney World.
  • One shows him drinking from decorative fountains; the other shows him entering a wedding pavilion.
  • Jeter said on TikTok that he's since been fired from Disney World as a result of the videos.

A man recently tried his luck at drinking water from Disney World's decorative fountains and entering the theme park's wedding pavilion alone.

But Jason Jeter's actions - and subsequent TikTok videos about them - got him fired from the vacation spot, according to the social-media user.

He's best known online as Jete and @showmelovejete.

A post shared by Jete (@showmelovejete)

At the time of writing, Jeter has more than 588,000 TikTok followers and over 12,000 Instagram followers

On both platforms, he frequently posts about Disney World, sharing behind-the-scenes information and photos of himself in the parks.

One of his most controversial TikToks - which now has over four million views - was posted on March 13. It shows him entering Disney's wedding pavilion, located at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, without any employee assistance.

"I did not know they just leave the doors open like this," Jeter said before showing himself entering the building. "Why would you leave this wide open Disney? For me? Thanks. Appreciate it."

As Disney website WDWRadio previously wrote, the wedding location is sometimes left open for parkgoers to visit during their vacations. However, it's recommended that you always check with a Disney employee for a tour before entering, as the site is strictly closed during private ceremonies and set-up times.

It was the TikToker's next video, however, that really captured attention. In some clips, it shows Jeter trying water from different restaurants at the Disney Springs shopping center, like Chicken Guy and Paddlefish.

He's also seen scooping water out of five decorative fountains throughout the location, drinking it, spitting it out, and giving the water low ratings.

Throughout the entire video, which now has more than 9 million views, Jeter uses a bottle from The Coldest Water, a brand of which he appears to be an ambassador. He also tagged the company in his post.

Representatives for The Coldest Water did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

The TikToker says he was fired by Disney after posting both videos

Jeter eventually followed up his viral clip with another TikTok post to say that he was fired by Disney. He said that after arriving at work, his manager asked him to speak privately in an office.

During their conversation, according to Jeter, his manager mentioned the TikToker's large social-media following.

"I immediately knew something was wrong," Jeter said in his video.

He also said his manager received an email from Walt Disney Company executives who don't "appreciate" the videos Jeter recently posted, meaning he would "no longer be allowed backstage." Jeter added that he wished the company would have asked him to delete the videos rather than fire him, but that "it is what it is."

Two days later in another video, however, Jeter said getting fired from Disney might be the best thing that has ever happened to him. One perk, according to the TikToker, is that seven companies have offered him jobs as social-media managers.

"In the past 48 hours, I've gained over 100,000 new family members," he said in a new video. "I've had multiple brands reach out to me offering me sponsorship deals. You all have been blowing up Disney's TikToks with support for me."

He then returned to his prank-style videos and shared another clip of him drinking water from Disney World fountains, this time at various Disney hotels.
