20. Yes, Disney does that |

From what I've heard, EPCOT center was supposed to be Disney's "model community" of authoritarian capitalism, a sort of libertarian utopia. Disney has some interesting arragements with the state of Florida and the county government as well. I've also heard that McDonaldland characters have a similar theme.
It creeps me out to think that rich industrialists are promoting stories for children to turn them into obedient little consumers.
