Well, the hotel has been redone in the past few years, so its nice, it was looking a bit shabby.
You should check out some of the not-so-touristy parts of Otown while you are there, its really quite lovely.

OBAMA'S LOSING VOTES OVER THIS.

Not taking his kids to Disneyland and then broadcasting from there? It's like going to a brothel without your buddies and then sending them video!

Getting back to the point of the visit:


"The speech marked Obama’s signing of an executive order aimed at facilitating the processing of Chinese and Brazilian tourist visas in particular and at speeding up the visa process for low-risk applicants in general.
...
The travel industry lauded Thursday’s action.

“Every 35 international visitors we welcome to the US generate one American job that can’t be outsourced,” says Roger Dow, president of the US Travel Association. Travel and tourism support 14 million US jobs, the association says, making the sector one of the country’s top 10 sectors."

Hey Cav, I hope you get your visit taken care of BEFORE the place goes under (given his track record of places folding soon after the 'kiss O death').

He has a family. I'm sure his daughters would love to go to Disney. I don't agree with the notion or concept that the President must completely disregard his family for the sake of his job...


Does this mean his daughters are going to miss school? That doesn't set a good example.

For any park guests this will also mean road closures, extra security, and delays delays delays. Roads will be shut down for the motorcade and resort buses will go into delayed service to try and avoid the times when the President is traveling through the resort. Also travel between the resort and the Orlando International airport should see delays as well."

Oh good! We get to pay for his family and him to fly there, as well as for them to enjoy the parks too, I'm sure.

Any reason he couldn't make an announcement about travel and tourism from the Oval Office?

WHAT??? Then why did he go there? Why not go to Vegas? I hear they are needing the tourists badly.

Oh that's right, Vegas people don't like him much since he told people to stop going there to gamble instead of donating their money to him.
