2. The boy's meltdown was at Universal Orlando Resort, not DisneyWorld

Until Disney treats their employees better, nothing will make me like them. I've lived in Florida all my life and have never been to DisneyWorld and never intend to go there.

My brother-in-law worked there. When he was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer, he had to work to retain his health insurance. He'd work four days a week, get his chemo on Fridays, then recover from the chemo over the weekends so he could go back to work on Monday. He did that right up until he gave up on chemo and was too sick to work any longer.

He was not just working for health insurance for himself - he had a wife and four children that needed coverage, also.

Disney will never see a penny from me - ever.
