Disney Dystopia?

So, I haven't read many dystopias before, but I'm researching them for my paper. They are different than I thought. I thought that they would be the opposite of utopias. In many ways, they are, but they can easily cross over. Look at it this way, one man's paradise can be another's prison. Utopia, the perfect/ideal world, cannot be perfect for everyone. I also thought it interesting how one author wrote about Disneyworld as a high point of technology, the utopian ideology, the American dream, and simultaneously be the ideal carcereal society of consumer capitalism. Pretty freaky, if you think about it.
