"Here’s one thing you should know about the Disney Cruise: The culture of Disney is insidious. Mousack is piped into every nook and cranny of the damn ship: the elevators, the restaurants, the hallways. If you submerge yourself in the mouse-shaped pool, you will hear the haunting theme from The Little Mermaid, as though she were down there, somewhere, singing. You can’t escape it by going to the Lido deck, or even, God forbid, your own room. Every single time you leave your cabin, some sort of switch is triggered so that upon reentry the radio is back on, blaring 'Small World.' I thought the Geneva Convention had banned that song. If they want to find Bin Laden so badly, the government should just turn Afghanistan over to Disney and the company can pipe some of its greatest hits into the terrorists’ caves. Before you know it, every last one of them will crawl out and confess to something, anything, to make it stop."

Sounds like she signed up for the wrong cruise for her family. They obviously weren't into Disney. Having been to anything Disney related (TV, Parks, etc), would let you know immediately it'd be all around her.
I expected more "they treated us like crap" with that headline, instead of :"we really hate Disney, but decided to go on their cruise anyway".

Patrick, I felt similarly. Though if what she says is true, and not just a clever humor device, about music under the water in the pool, and "Small World" always playing on your in-room radio: well, that is indeed insidious. ;-)
