Presidential Election?

[Buzz Lightbeer]

Hello,

We’re coming from the UK for 2 weeks shortly and the presidential election will happen during our holiday does anyone think this will affect the parks in anyway with the volume off people visiting on the 6th? I'm quite excited to see it all unfold but on the other side off the coin kinda hoping it might make it quieter in the parks

People who aren't going to be at home on election day can vote in advance polls. Other than news junkies who might leave the parks a little early to watch early returns, I doubt the elections would have any significant impact on crowd levels.

Other than looting, rioting and pandemonium in the streets you should be just fine.

Seriously though I would not expect any real effect good or bad on crowds.

Little to no effect.

In before the lock!

No effect.

Disneyland would be quieter, Disney World no effect (it will already be pretty quiet anyways)

Every 4 years it's the same old...All the characters start rioting because Mickey didn't win again.

American's are pretty apathetic when it comes to voting. I think we had something about 60% turnout in 2008. I wouldn't expect to see much difference this year. If people care about it, they will vote in advance or via mail in. If they don't care, they would still be at the parks that day. The biggest change you will see will be on TV. Ad content will dramatically change the day after the election. No more doom and gloom the other sucks ads.

I would be interested to know how many votes nation wide Mickey Mouse receives this election. The "real" Mickey Mouse that is, not the tag some would hang on the candidate they dislike.

According to the FEC Mickey Mouse got 11 votes in the 2008 presidential election which beat Santa Claus by 2 votes.

Same here.
