Hall of Presidents

HALL  OF  PRESIDENTS

It's January and now my "block-out" dates at Disney World are over.   What are "block-out dates?   They are those days when I cannot use my weekday annual pass for free admission to Disney World.   These are the days when the parks at Disney World are extremely busy.    Days in green are "GO".   Like a traffic light where the green lights means "GO".   So as you can see the last two weeks in December I wasn't able to go to Disney on my weekday annual pass.  

But January is essentially all green with the exception of January 1 and 2. 

I am anxious to go to the Hall of Presidents in Magic Kingdom to see the show.   It has been closed for so long.

I want to see if the animatronic figure of President Trump really looks as bad as what I have seen on the internet.   How natural are the movements of the animatronic.

At another site was a picture which I think looks more like him.   What do you think?   And that long tie.   Is the long tie going to be a new fashion trend?

And for those who haven't seen the you tube video of someone yelling "lock him up, lock him up, lock him up" when President Trump started to speak, here is the link to it.   Hopefully there won't be any demonstrators interrupting the show when I go.   The President Trump speaking is only a small part of the show.

I think that the portrait hanging on the wall inside the Hall of Presidents is a good likeness of President Trump.   The picture of President Ronald Reagan is a very good likeness.   I am not aware of any Fastpass for the Hall of Presidents which means I may have to stand in line for a protracted period of time.   And it is a bit cool right now to stand in line.   But it could be worse, at least I won't be standing in knee deep snow.   That is one of the advantages of living in Florida.   Have the best of a day that you can with this weather that we have been having.

I have to apologize for the picture above.   I got the picture from somewhere on the internet.   I don't remember where.   I went to the Hall of Presidents today to see the show.   I looked for President Trump's portrait hanging on the wall next to President Ronald Reagan.   To my surprise instead of President Trump there was, I believe, President Woodrow Wilson instead.   So the picture above may have been photo-shopped.   I am not sure.   I asked one of the cast members and she said that there is not a portrait of the current president in the Rotunda.   If it was photo-shopped then that is the 2nd time this week that it has happened to me (fooled by photo-shopping).  The actual picture which I took myself today is below.

 

The Tank

I recently got to visit The Museum of Military History in Kissimmee, Florida.    Where is Kissimmee?   It is very very close to Disneyworld.   I saw a tank on display in front of the museum and I was fascinated by it.   I got pictures of it from the front, from the back, from both sides, and even from some of the corners.   There were distant shots and close-ups.   As you can guess, I got a lot of pictures.    I went inside and asked the man behind the counter what model of tank it was.   He smiled and chuckled a little and said it was a model made from plywood.    I was stunned.   They had done such a good job that it had fooled me.    I guess that when you look up "gullible" in the dictionary you will find my picture next to the definition.    I had been absolutely completely fooled.  

What do you think?   Would you have been fooled like I was?

The museum  is great inside.   So much to see.   The exhibits and artifacts just seem to go on and on.    They have a tour guide who takes people around and gives a very nice talk.   Yeah, that is an Indian motorcycle.

I happened to see this German staff car and it reminded me of the Volkswagon "Thing" that was produced in the 60's and 70's.



If in your travels you ever happen to come to Central Florida, be sure to visit the Museum of Military History.   It is definitely a must see.   And it is easy to spot, just look for the big yellow tank out front.   LOL.    Lew
