Arcade Owner to Disney Influencer: Royce D’Orazio's Journey of Resilience and Magic
How a Pandemic Setback Led to a Viral Success and a New Life in Orlando
ORLANDO, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, July 16, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In the face of unprecedented challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, Royce D’Orazio transformed adversity into opportunity, embarking on a remarkable journey that has captivated thousands. Once the owner of a successful arcade business in Los Angeles, Royce now shares his passion for Disney and travel through his popular TikTok channel, DisneyParksDIY.
When the pandemic halted the construction of Royce's new facility, he found himself with an abundance of time and a warehouse full of potential. Channeling his creativity and love for classic amusement attractions, Royce built a dark ride that quickly went viral, launching his online presence and igniting a renewed passion for content creation.
Despite the viral success, the pandemic's impact forced Royce to make a difficult decision. Leaving behind the arcade business that once thrived, he packed up what remained and moved to Orlando, the heart of Disney magic. What began as a childhood joke—moving to Disney World if all else failed—became a reality.
A lifelong Disney enthusiast, Royce has explored Disney World's 40 square miles extensively, discovering more to do than most visitors ever imagine. His deep connection to the park and his extensive knowledge have become the foundation of his TikTok channel, DisneyParksDIY, where he shares his adventures, tips, and behind-the-scenes looks at Disney attractions.
Royce's expertise extends beyond content creation. After moving to Orlando, he initially worked as a technician, fixing arcade games and working on rides for Disney. However, his passion for sharing the magic of Disney led him to leave his technician role and commit to his channel full-time. Royce's dedication is evident in his work ethic, with an impressive streak of 137 consecutive days of streaming, clocking 12-15 hours daily. Now, he continues to provide content Monday through Friday becoming a staple for helping many people get through their workdays.
