Disney is a cult. Seriously.
I worked at the Disney Store for a year. Not only do you have to wear the idiotic uniforms and PANTYHOSE WITH SOCKS, you are required to constantly be smiling and happy. Now, I'm a pretty upbeat person by human nature, and smile the vast majority of the time. When I would leave there, my cheeks would hurt. Your make-up has to be natural, however they refer to it as "All American". "Cast members" (aka employees) only work 4 hour shifts at a time, so that they're "fresh" for their "performance". I was told, when I requested more hours (I was a struggling student) that people didn't work there for money, they did it for "love of The Mouse". Whatever.
I've found very few people just "like" Disney. They are either haters (such as me) or scary obsessive. A sister of mine went two summers to the Disney Summer Intern program. All she ever talks about is Disney, and her plans to move to Florida to work there full-time. This is a 28 year old woman with a MBA.
Down with the rat!
