Disney World Plays Its Trump Card

Politics and the world's most visited theme park don't often intersect, but that's just what's happening at Walt Disney's (NYSE: DIS) Magic Kingdom with this morning's reopening of The Hall of Presidents. The original attraction is typically down for a few months between presidencies as Disney installs a new sculpted audio-animatronic of the country's new chief executive with a recorded speech, but this refurbishment is clocking in at nearly a year since its mid-January closing.

President Donald Trump's addition to the iconic show is going to be a polarizing event, and while social media is erupting over the move you're not here to read about politics. Disney investors will want to know if Tuesday morning's reopening will help improve their fortunes, a pretty important question since the media giant's theme parks business is the only segment that improved in fiscal 2017.
