Does Disney really promote family values?


While browsing the Internet, I came across an article titled, “Why adults like Disney Cruises,” which basically explained that the cruises did a good job of keeping children entertained.  As a result, there was plenty of adults-only time, and adults-only spaces, that offered a variety of amenities for relaxing, such as a pool with a swim-up bar and yoga classes.  I understand that going on a family vacation can be stressful, and not especially relaxing for parents who have to constantly look after their children.  However, I find it interesting that Disney seems to be separating families instead of bringing them together on their cruises.  Aren’t family values something that Walt Disney and his company stand for?  Shouldn’t, if anything, these cruises offer opportunities for families, with parents who are probably often busy with work and kids who are at school for most of the day, to spend time together and bond?  I’m sure these also exist on the cruises, but it seems interesting that adult alone time is one of the key factors of these cruises.
