Guests can just nail their Fastpasses to the door.
It makes me angry how clever you are.

Yeah sorry ... I'm one of those "not into the undead" guys. We all have our faults!Uh... maybe I'm having trouble reading but did you just say you don't like the Haunted Mansion?

IIRC, disparaging remarks about followers of one politician or party (or in this case, non-followers) is why we can no longer discuss such things here.
They'll get backlash from Trump supporters no matter what they do. Unless the whole show is dedicated to his greatness they will pitch a fit say it's a liberal snowflake conspiracy.
Or how about we just leave a classic Disney attraction alone? Seriously, are we just going to start changing things because some millennial snowflakes pitch a fit over someone they didnt like winning an election?
There was hatred and division from liberals when George W Bush won in 2000. There was hatred and division from conservatives when Barack Obama won in 2008. Now we’ve come full circle again with President Trump. He’s the president...get over it....accept it...open up Hall of Presidents again.
I think what they would have to do is announce in advance that the current president (current at whatever time it is announce that is) will be the last current president to speak and after the next election a change will be made to only past presidents speaking (just Lincoln, Lincoln and Washington, etc). Doing it after the election looks, rightly or wrongly, like a slight of the sitting president. That will always annoy roughly half of the voting population.
disclaimer; let me clarify my statement, "intended to be" is only my opinion on what I believe the original imagineers had in mind. I don't know. I'm just assuming the original Disney imagineers kinda knew this attraction would be ever evolving and changing with each new president elected. as for the current president speaking, I don't want this guy to ruin it for future (or past) presidents, let him talk.
unfortunately this is the kind of crap we have to deal with these days.
Honestly I wish the attraction could stay the way it is for tradition sake, but unfortunately people are not able to be reasonable regarding politics. This goes for both sides of the political coin. I go to Disney World to get away from the real world and have a fun time, not to listen to people argue about politics. Because of this I will most likely not visit the attraction even if it does remain the same as I will be leery of what might happen between guests.
I feel the need to jump in here and say the same thing I did in another thread: I don't want Liberty Square turned into Haunted Mansionland. Mostly because I don't like the Haunted Mansion so I hate to see more real estate used for it. 2ndly because I hate to see an attraction turn into a restaurant that I'll never get into even if I wanted to!
And this is why I have ALWAYS said HOP does not belong in the Magic Kingdom, the biggest fantasy park of them all. I don't want a history lesson and seems most don't since the attraction is severely underused. This is valuable real estate ... the restaurant would be a cash cow.
Aside from the blasphemy
... there are plenty of attractions many don't like. I hate Jungle Cruise, I hate they built a restaurant with that stupid theme when it could have been an awesome "jungle decor" character restaurant. I wanted them to rotate Peter Pan, Jungle Book, Tarzan, Pirates ... but no we have Jungle Cruise with overprice fish heads. Buty hey, it's an easy to get ADR. If they did it my way they would be making too much money. The rest of the area is a boring treehouse, a kiddie Aladdin ride and squeaky birds singing. The only good ride is Pirates, and there is no good eating. Honestly if they kept the outside the same ........... there would be virtually no change to Liberty Square other than Disney making LOTS of money. The mostly empty attraction sits on valuable real estate.
Mr. Toad, Maelstrom, 20,000 Leagues ... classics ... gone.

Hope this doesn't get into a weird place on the disboards, but from a religious perspective I don't like to be involved with undead, ghosts, and whatnot.Have you ever liked it or was it something you've always hated? Any parts that you like of it?
Classics which all left for major IPs thanks to the Iger regime.
I totally agree, and said something along those lines when this topic came up here before, a few months ago.I think what they would have to do is announce in advance that the current president (current at whatever time it is announce that is) will be the last current president to speak and after the next election a change will be made to only past presidents speaking (just Lincoln, Lincoln and Washington, etc).

Sadly true, Phil. Very astutely observed, and posted.The challenge for Disney is that not everyone will behave such as you. There are already reports of people actively Booing the Obama animatronic and I think it is safe to say things are even more heated now within our country
As a point of example, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) held their Summerslam event in Brooklyn this past August and there were protestors outside because the WWE has Trump in their Hall of Fame ... if people were doing that I can see Disney being worried about what people would / will do when the HoP reopens with Trump in it. Could protestors line up outside the attraction, linking arms to prevent people from going in? Would they want a scene like that?

I LOVE that!Just install buzzers under the seats (a la it's tough to be a bug!) and zap whomever gets rowdy.
