I sent an email to Disney World today, asking what their policy is re: "gate rallies." I've seen news reports of protests being held there, but I wanna be certain we won't get escorted off the property by security.
As far as an initial meetup locale, I was thinking either....
Orlando Premium Outlets
8200 Vineland Ave, Orlando, FL 32821 (on the easement between Vineland and the heavily-traveled I-4)
or
Shadow Bay Park
5100 Turkey Lake Rd, Orlando, FL
or
Turkey Lake Park
3401 S Hiawassee Rd, Orlando, FL
Am leaning more toward the mall since it's only a mile from Disney, whereas the other locations are about 7-8 miles.
Next step: Permits!
UPDATE EDIT!Still waiting on contact from Disney. Called, but they weren't helpful. They advised me against a rally, but I've seen other protests being held at the gates, so who knows. Sent another email.
Permits: if there's less than 100 people, we don't need one. I think I'll put in for one anyway just to be safe.
UPDATE EDIT 2!In addition to the permit, Orlando requires liability insurance, which usually runs about $100-200. Since I have no idea if we'll have more than 100 people, what we might do is have multiple venues set up. If the first locale gets more than 80 people, we split the group, half moving to another area. The purpose of a permit is to prevent a large number of people from assembling in one area and potentially holding the county liable for damage. Small groups around the area would avoid this.
