M.I.C.K.E.Why?

This friday we're leaving for Florida to take a 4 day cruise to the Bahamas. It's a Disney cruise (kind of a family reunion deal - chosen for the kids) and despite that I'm looking forward to some time away.

Anyway, Disney allows guests to check in online a few weeks before the trip. After doing just that, I have a few comments to make...

Disney Corp is a megalomaniacal, intrusive, scary-ass company (not that that's really news mind you). I say this because of some of the questions during the check in process. While some are understandable, passport info and birthdates and such. There was a section about what my plans were after disembarking, my choices were "Visiting another Disney attraction.", "Heading to the airport" and "Other". These question are understandable if I was heading to another Disney Attraction. It's even slightly understandable if I was going straight to the airport (they'll confirm our flights for us). My plans are to go to my sister-in-law's house for a couple of days, so I checked "Other".

Now, imagine my irritation when it not only asked me to provide the exact address and phone number of where I'll be staying, it was required. Disney apparently feels they have a need, nay the right, to know where I'll be staying after leaving the ship. What in the frak gives them the right to force me to enter someone's address? Do they really expect me to give them a correct address? How many other poor saps fall for this?

For the record I am heading to "100 Whydoyouneedtoknow St, Orlando FL", only because my wife convinced to give a more "political" answer than "100 F&$kofftheresnoreasonyouneedtoknowthisyounosybastards Ave". Now we'll see if they let me on the boat...
