Yesterday was a very busy and historic day for theย Magic Kingdomยฎ Park ย at theย Walt Disney Worldยฎย Resort in Florida. President Obama made a visit to the park toย unveil a strategy that will significantly help boost tourism and travel. This visit made him only the 4th president to visit a Disney Theme Park while in office.ย Previous presidents include President Jimmy Carter in 1978, President Ronald Reagan in 1983 and 1985, andย President George H.W. Bush in 1991.
Before starting his announcement, President Obama joked thatย โItโs rare that I get to do something that Sasha and Malia envy me for. Maybe theyโll actually ask me at dinner how my day went.โ He also expressed thatย he was excited to see Mickey as it’s always nice to meet a world leader who has bigger ears than himself.
While the event was invite only, it was still a magical day for all guests at theย ย Walt Disney Worldยฎย Resort. Extra Magic Hours were added atย Epcotยฎ,ย Disneyโs Hollywood Studiosโข, andย Disney’s Animal Kingdomยฎ Theme Parks. Also, a special “Rock the Night” fireworks spectacular was added to the schedule atย Disneyโs Hollywood Studiosโข.
