California Adventure park was closed early in the evening for a Grad Night event, so no members of the public were cleared for the presentation. The First Lady and her children were accompanied by Secret Service.</font></font></p>

Originally Posted By SuperDry They clear the park of day guests, and then grad nite guests are admitted sometime later. There could easily be a 25-minute period where the PP area was closed to both day and grad nite guests when a private WoC performance could be given, without impacting the regular schedule of either the day guests or the grad nite guests.

And it is pretty cool that they did that for Mrs. Obama and her kids. I don't think they would have been able to see it otherwise in safety and it is a great show. While she was in town, she wa also given a Super VIP tour at Warner Brothers and some friends of mine who worked there turned the corner and nearly ran into them (on foot). It was a pleasant surprise and we were all jealous.
