Even the most magical place on Earth isn't immune to President Donald Trump.
Those familiar with Walt Disney World in Florida know that the park is home to an attraction called the Hall of Presidents. Inside, there are animatronic (read: robot) versions of every single president of the United States, ever. The problem? Ever since the Clinton administration, the sitting president's robotic stand-in has had a speaking role. According to Vice's Motherboard, Disney's Imagineers don't know how they can incorporate President Trump into what's supposed to be a celebration of American values with his "hateful speech, misogyny, racism, and xenophobia."
"Given how polarizing the president is right now, Disney Parks & Resorts is currently trying to find [a solution] that approaches middle ground," a source told Motherboard. "They want to include our 45th commander-in-chief in this 45-year-old theme park attraction, while at the same time, not seem to endorse or support some of Trump's more controversial policies. Walt Disney World might elect to push the attraction's opening date back to the fall and then make further tweaks to the show."
Back in November, Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that President Trump would be included in the attraction, but he didn't mention whether or not Trump would join the likes of Barack Obama and George H.W. Bush and actually record a speech for the Hall of Presidents. The AV Club notes that Disney has contacted the White House regarding the inclusion of President Trump back in January, but it hasn't received an official response yet. In the past, Disney executives Pamela Fisher and Kathy Rogers flew to the White House to record each president's closing remarks — a process that takes about 20 minutes total.
Motherboard speculates that the ride will most likely revert to its pre-1993 format, where there isn't a closing speech delivered by the sitting president. That'll cut the show from its current 23-minute run-time to just 15. That gives visitors more time to check out other things, the Imagineers said.
To make matters worse, like many other people, the Imagineers in charge of the Hall of Presidents were already deep into the process of creating a Hillary Clinton robot back in November. "They were convinced that Hillary was going to win," the source continued. "They were having conversations in late October and early November on how to dress her. 'Should it be the pantsuit she wore at the [Democratic] National Convention? Or should it be a darker color?' They were thinking along those lines. No one was giving any serious thought to it being Trump."
I guess I’ll be vacationing elsewhere...FU Disney. My brother worked there. It’s gay day every day there.
Does the talking Kenyan have to use a teleprompter?
Disney Corp can 100% go “F” themselves.
Yeah.....nothing more hateful than “Make America Great Again” and “US Jobs for US Citizens” and “Nations must work together to remove the evil losers who commit terror”.
haven’t been there since the eighties. thought it was an overrated tourist trap back then. Much preferred Busch Gardens.
Straining at gnats over which color of Crusty The Pantsuit? Oh, the suspense, such an important detail, must get it just right.
The animatronics were no doubt a breeze, since the old *itch is already robotic in real life. The head-bobbing, seizures and flopping over into a van might be a tad bit of a challenge, but hey, it's Disney.
I'm sure they you pull it off.
So, go ahead. Install Fantasy President Hillary. You know you want to, and it'll just be so reassuring to your core customers.

We boycotted Disney in the early ‘90s. That’s when we first noticed they were catering to homosexuals.
Always will remember leaving Orlando early one morning while a local radio host with a Cuban accent was almost screaming, “Don’t take your kids to Disney World this week! The place is full of maricones I mean queers! It’s Gay Week and they’ll be everywhere! Keep the kids away from Disney!”
So...the Magic Kingdom hates Donald Trump. Fine, my money’s no good there, either.
The homosexuals hate Trump and yet they enthusiastically support bringing in Islamists who would kill them.
...Imagineers in charge of the Hall of Presidents were already deep into the process of creating a Hillary Clinton robot back in November.
Apparently it escaped from the lab and went on the campaign trail.
LMAO -- pretty good stuff for so early in the morning! You're probably in the running for First Shift Post of the Day...

This is manifest bullsh$t. The most pro-American POTUS in decades has tons of patriotic, pro-LEO, pro-Soldier, pro Can-do American Excellence sound bites to use. His address to Congress was a great speech. Play that. Jeez!
Perfect !!!!!!
And its batteries failed just as it was about ... to... get......in.......the..........vannnn.........
this is fake news...i’m on a few Disney pages for a while and this is a story that’s been circulating since February...
We already had one and she was filling in for Hillary on days she was too sick to speak
Why not put a Bender robot in there with a Trump hairdo? They would miss the irony.
