Re: Condolensces RE: SG's on president's visit

The motorcade doesn't need a 150' diameter area to land. I don't know any place backstage at MK that I can look around and see 75' of clear space in all directions, that doesn't have something else that makes it really dangerous flying. Plus, I assume the planning happens a ways out and they have t...

Re: Disney to allow beards

I believe that the Disney Look has never really applied to the high ups in Imagineering. I think the thought is that they're paid to be creative and if they want to be creative with their bodies let them. WDI is not Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, and thus, they do not follow the Disney look. As far...

Re: Condolensces RE: SG's on president's visit

What amazes me is that no one here has mentioned the actual announcement itself. He is making visa easier to get for tourists from China and Brazil. BRAZIL !?!? The president is passing a law to encourage more Brazillion tour groups! :eek: And out of all the countries in the world to pick, why thos...

Re: Condolensces RE: SG's on president's visit

There are very few events for which the President belongs on Disney soil. One is the Fourth of July, swearing in the new citizens. That is very cool, and it happens before the park opens, early in the morning. I will never have a problem with it. 2009 would have been a great opportunity for him to ...

Parking and access will be chaos.
My bet is they would at least drive him in via Reams, if not just chopper him straight to park 3.

Apparently he is speaking around 12:20PM somewhere on main st, and main st will be closed all day until he departs.

Have fun with that Main St ops...

Obama coming to WDW Thursday?

I'm hearing rumblings and rumors that Obama will be visiting the Magic Kingdom Thursday night. DHS has fireworks scheduled, and there are dual evening EMHs at Epcot and DHS, yet it's a super empty week. Apparently some strange note is on the hub also.

Any insight?

2. It is fun doing PAC in an ECV, which I did. My physical limitations profile allows me to use my ECV on an as-needed basis.
DHS PAC is so relaxing and pleasant though. :p:

Re: Guest Gains Access To Utillidoors

Anyway, I have to imagine that stupid guests go down there all the time looking for a bathroom or just roaming around because they don't know any better. The majority of the entrances are unmarked and unlocked. You really should not be going down there, if they were to find you down there recording...
