Hall of Presidents

Animatronic show

About Hall of Presidents

Following a similar vein to Walt's original World's Fair "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln", this patriotic show features a look at the history of the American presidency, including a presentation of animatronic American Presidents--every American President to date.

The revised show is stunning. Did anyone else notice how about half way through the show, right about when drowsy toddlers and grandparents might begin to slip into a HOP induced nap the Civil War breaks out with LOUD bomb explosions and lighting effects? I’m curious to know if that was planned…..? - Rob McCullough

The new and improved Hall of Presidents is amazing. Obama looks and sounds great. Washington now stands up and speaks. The new film is much improved over the old one. I like the way they highlight certain Presidents. Look for the "Hidden President" during JFK's segment. It's a must see now, instead of a place to cool down and rest you feet. - Ray Schroeder

A surprisingly entertaining show. This show consist of a short history lesson and then a roll call of all the presidents that have been in office for this country. In the end George W. Bush talks and someone always ends up booing him(Obama will now talk in the end, instead of Bush, once the show re-opens).The presidents all look very real and their reactions during the show are very lifelike. There are a couple of animatronic shows at MK(Tiki room, Country bears, Carousel of Progress) and this one is the best one and a must see. It is also a good place to sit down and relax. - Manny Barron

We love this one. Great way to rest your feet and cool off. The presidents on stage look SOOO real. Lots of good history. A must-see. - Gil Long

make your kids watch it. can't wait for hillary obama or mccain to show up! - stephen murphy

The best place in the park to take an afternoon break from the heat. Cool off and get a small dose of Disney-fied American history while you are at it. Caution: will make you feel patriotic, whether you like it or not! =) - James Rao

Not the most exciting attraction; however, it's interesting and educational. We went because my husband loves politics, and he LOVED the Hall of Presidents. I'm glad we went. - Mickey Fan

This is a great attraction. No, its not the most "thrilling" but i think its refreshing to see a park that takes the country's past and future seriously. As far as napping during the show, that is natural when you are out in the FL sun and then go into a dark theater. It may not be the favorite for kids, but still very good. - Michael Newsom
