* NoNameGiven: The "Emu woman" is never referred to by a real name. She was only referred to as such by WebVideo/SomeJerkWithACamera.

* NoNameGiven: The "Emu woman" is never referred to by a real name.

* EvilCripple: The man in a neck brace riding a motorized scooter torments Jim and his daughter.

* CreepyChild: Elliot.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The park nurse mentions a "cat flu" which is apparently spreading around the park. [[spoiler: Near the end of the film, Jim begins hacking up hairballs...]]
* GainaxEnding: [[spoiler: Jim becomes sick with the "cat flu," vomiting up hairballs and revealing catlike eyes. His patricidal son hears his cries for help, but locks him in the bathroom until he succumbs. Park security covertly removes his body, loads it in a vehicle, and drives off. As they do, a second car pulls up to the hotel, containing Jim, the imaginary woman from earlier in the film, and his daughter, all of them preparing for their vacation.]]
* HighClassCallGirl: At one point Jim hallucinates that [[spoiler: the Disney princesses are all escorts for Asian businessmen.]]
* HopeSpot: The Emu Woman is "defeated", but [[spoiler: Jim still succumbs to the cat flu after making it back to his hotel room.]]

** He was also not pleased with director Randy Moore's goals of exposing the transparency of the illusion of the Disney parks, but includes several blatant falsehoods in doing so, such as the [[spoiler:Big Thunder Mountain Railroad decapitation (all thrill rides of that nature are designed so that a guest couldn't hurt themselves on the ride without taking deliberate risks to do so)]] and the emu leg claim (see CriticalResearchFailure above).

* MindScrew

* OffWithHisHead: Twice! Once [[spoiler: during the opening credits, a passenger on the Big Thunder Railroad roller coaster is decapitated by a low overpass]] and later, [[spoiler: Jim's interrogator at Epcot is revealed to be an animatronic after Jim catches his head in the door.]]

* SanitySlippage: Jim. Oh boy, Jim.

* ThePlague: The "cat flu" is referenced to be something like this, although [[spoiler: Jim is ultimately the only one to succumb to the disease]], at least the only one to show [[{{Squick}} symptoms]].
* TransferableMemory: Towards the end of the film, one of the security members [[spoiler: seems to transplant memories of riding the Buzz Lightyear ride into Elliot, since he never got to ride it. He even affixes a souvenir pin to the boy's shirt.]]
* UnusualEuphemism: "I think you found my hidden Mickey!"
** Jim remarks that Spaceship Earth looks like a "giant testicle" in favor of the more typical "golf ball" reference.

* {{Hypocrite}}: WebVideo/SomeJerkWithACamera accuses the creators of the film of being ones, after they filed copyright complaints on the first part of his review for using footage from the movie including the music from the "It's a Small World" scene. A scene from a film that was shot entirely without permission on private property using several intellectual properties of a private corporation. He noted that in the five years he had created his own guerrilla-style show filmed in the Disney Parks, he had not ''once'' received a copyright claim from Disney - only the people criticizing Disney's monopolistic, cult-like tendencies.

* CriticalResearchFailure: Emu Woman claims that the turkey legs are actually made from emus. WebVideo/SomeJerkWithACamera ran the numbers and discovered that in order to do this, the Disney corporation would have to raise and slaughter more emus than actually exist in Australia, their native continent.

* SurprisinglySimilarStories: This is not [[WebVideo/SomeJerkWithACamera the first project filmed guerrilla-style at a Disney park where something traumatic happens on It's A Small World while a non-Small World tune plays]].

* CompositeCharacter: The park itself is a hybrid of Disneyland and Disney World, utilizing exhibits and imagery from both.

* CreepyChild: Elliot

* UnusualEuphemism: "I think you found my hidden Mickey!"

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: the ending, where [[spoiler:as Jim's body is hauled away, he emerges from another car with the imaginary woman from earlier in the film and his daughter]]. Even Trevor [=McCune=], the actor who played the bellhop in that scene, admitted in the WebVideo/SomeJerkWithACamera review that ''he'' didn't know. He claims it's "supposed" to be [[spoiler:heaven]], but that the director didn't tell him.

* SoundEffectBleep: The ubiquitous mega-corporation's name is bleeped out during Jim's interrogation--its only mention in the entire film.

* HopeSpot: The Emu Woman [[note]]Da na na na na na na na na![[/note]] is "defeated", but [[spoiler: Jim still succumbs to the cat flu after making it back to his hotel room.]]

A guerrilla [[HorrorFilms horror film]] shot incognito in [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disneyland and Disney World]], ''Escape from Tomorrow'' follows disgruntled father of two, Jim White, as he navigates his family vacation in the wake of being fired from his job, all while the theme park he and his family are vacationing at becomes [[FalseUtopia more ghoulish and strange]].

->''People come here because they want to feel safe. But bad things happen everywhere...''

* DesignatedVillain: Disney itself does little evil in the film, and what ''is'' evil seems to be hallucinations on Jim's part.
