I would love to see more hotels (especially well-themed deluxes) at WDW and DL. I'm looking forward to the Hall of Presidents featuring President Trump. I DON"T, however, think current presidents should speak. We are too divided as a nation. I heard boos when President Obama spoke and so I hate to think what will happen when/if President Trump does.
