Ron Paul Blimp Buzzes Disney World
WOW, talk about a captive audience....
Ron Paul, republican candidate for president, whose grassroots supporters raised over 10 million dollars in only two days have gone one step further flying a blimp to spread his message. For the past few days the blimp has been seen hovering over the Walt Disney World resort, circling the resorts for all the guests to see.

Re: Ron Paul Blimp Buzzes Disney World

 Don't go ruinin' my happy places with reality & the real world floatin' above my head... literally

no no no, I was being facetious. Don't feel bad, but let me tell you that if I was in WDW or DL and started seeing politicial messages, from ANY party, flying over my head I think I'd just lose it & start catapulting large boulders at the blimp. The nerve, Disney is SOOOO not the place for reality.

Re: Ron Paul Blimp Buzzes Disney World
That's interesting...there is STILL a "Temporary" Flight Restriction over Disney World left over from 9/11/2001.
I wonder if the polliticians have exempted themselves from FAA regulations like they have many other laws...

Re: Ron Paul Blimp Buzzes Disney World
I agree with Wishy, don't ruin my happy place with the "real world."
Let me be in my magical place where a Mouse is in charge and everyone is happy.

Re: Ron Paul Blimp Buzzes Disney World
That wacky blimp came to Boston in December and was supposed to hover over the Tea Party Reenactment at my museum but the weather was terrible that day so I'm not sure if the blimp was actually out there or not. Looks like it is making the rounds!

Re: Ron Paul Blimp Buzzes Disney World
Just curious about one thing...
Politics aside, what exactly does a presidential campaign hope to accomplish by circling a blimp over WDW in mid-February? The Florida primary is over, and how many people in the Disney parks are from states that still have primaries/caucuses left? You would think that money could be better spent by circling a blimp in the states with upcoming voting dates, where the message would have greater effect. Doesn't seem like money well spent, unless the blimp pilot is just a fan of the candidate and is doing this on his own...?

Re: Ron Paul Blimp Buzzes Disney World
I'm surprised that Disney is allowing this to fly overhead. I thought the there was a no-fly zone rule above the property.
I've also seen the planes spelling out messages over the parks. I saw this several times when I was on the college program.
