Besides, about 2.7 Americans out of 10 still support the man ... and, scary as this may be, a lot of them seem to be Disney fans. UGH!!!!

Although, much easier to see the stage show. The gardens near where the swan boats used to be are so beautiful. My mother actually has a great book featuring the gardens of WDW.
