So does this mean MK will be closed to guests for the whole day? Pretty much... And that is why they are providing extra entertainment at the other parks e.g. DHS? :)

So it seems at the MK there will ONLY be invited people and no-one else :(

I am at Disney this week. This throws a monkey wrench in my plans but I am glad it's only for a few hours. I planed this vaccation over a year ago and would be very upset if it totally ruined my plans.

Wow. So day guests will not have the walk up Main Street? Why MK to give a speech? Why inconvenience or chance adversely impacting that many peoples' days to give a speech? Aren't there spaces designated for White House events at the White House? If its that important why not do what the rest of the world does and host an after-hours event? This isn't just frustration at the flagrant wasting of taxpayers money when the government already operates sooooo far in the red, why does WDW even entertain this in this manner? I'd be far more impressed if the powers that be held the stupid government party planners to the same guidelines every other guest or company is held to. I think the lengths they are going to are far too disruptive to normal operations to justify in any way. The whole thing is flat out stupid.

Main Street, USA will be open in enough time for the parade to run at 3:30. Day Guests will still get to walk on Main Street that day.

But the guests who planned a year ago to arrive after breakfast at say 10:30 a.m. will not get the benefit of the show as it was intended upon entering the park. Weddings & other private events are not allowed to disrupt normal park hours or operations. Why this?

I don't think anyone says no to the President.

The speech is about tourism to the USA, so the location is really important.

That's because they aren't asking the right people. :animwink:

I won't even discuss why on earth the president might feel the need to discuss tourism in the US while disregarding the very guests who are here visiting....:cool:

If you're going now and you're the "once in a lifetime" guest, you'd probably be more irritated that BTMRR & Dumbo are closed than the fact that President Obama is giving a speech on Main Street. Plus, let's not pretend like if you complained to Disney they wouldn't work with you to give you an alternate day to show up or to reschedule your character breakfast. Disney wants to ________ off as few people as possible.

I'm surprised people are so up in arms over this, seems like TDO actually thought this one through with their offerings at other parks.

I think that's a safe assumption. Especially when your CEO has political aspirations. ;)

So how does one enter MK and avoid main street? They still have to go past town square theater to get to the backstage area over there.

I'm guessing at some point the turnstiles will close a little before and during the speech

Do you think if the park is at capacity due to extra people coming out to see him they will make him wait to enter the MK until the attendance is lower :ROFLOL:
