Description: Year Opened: 1971
The show begins with a digitally projected film that manages to capture the energy and spirit of the narrative without overshadowing the context. The film delivers a message of the hardships the USA faced in its struggle to find a national identity.
As the film comes to an end, the stage is lit and there they are, the 42 incredibly life like audio-animatronic figures of all of the American presidents. The Hall of Presidents is best suited for adults. Unless your child is a real history buff, chances are they're going to be bored. Still, if the park is busy and/or hot, sinking into one of the 700 comfy theater seats for a bit is a nice break.Information: http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/guides/magickingdom/lib-hall.htm Keywords: Hall of Presidents

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great history lesson. Great animatronics Cons: Can be boring for kids.
I haven't been able to do this since the refurb. But some things I can say that are the same either way. Great Disney animatronics. Good escape from the heat and off your feet.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Good remake of venerable MK attraction Cons: People still stop in the middle of the row
The new animatronics are very smooth. The story line flows a bit better than the old version.

I have not been in the Hall of Presidents since Clinton was in office. I really enjoyed the new show and liked how they combined some of the original movie with newer parts.

We were there before the renovation and it was getting tired looking. But we happen to be there the day they offered previews of the new show before its grand opening. It was AWESOME.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Patriotic, and a Classic. Cons: Unappealing to Kids
This is an attraction for the parents and older ones to enjoy because they find it more interesting. The kids seem to lose patience from this and get easily distracted.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): More interesting since the update Cons:
Don't get me wrong, it's not because of the addition of Obama (I'm actually republican), but because of all of the other differences they made. Lincoln has a lot more talk time and he is so lifelike it is incredible! The slide show has gotten better, and Morgan Freeman is a great narrator. DO NOT miss this great show!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Nice look into our country's history, amazing animatronics Cons: not everyone wants a history lesson on vacation
I'm a huge history buff, so the Hall of Presidents is always a must visit. Its a great look into our country's past. Mr. Lincoln gives a great speech and the presidents nod in acknowlegement during the roll call.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great animatronics - enough that you believe those are the real people Cons:
A great show and a great Disney classic. I remember as a kid thinking they are real people and now at age 40, I think that Walt Disney had a great thing going with his animatronics. A show everyone must see. A chance to sit down, relax, and get out of the sun.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Another Disney Classic Cons:
I really do try to do this attaction every visit - sometimes, though, the long wait is too much.
It's a great reminder for all Americans (and those from other countries) how our past has shaped our future.
Great attraction!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Animatronics at it's best Cons: Not for the uninterested in history
Politics aside, this attraction is very well done and Lincoln is at the top of his game! The history behind the office of the president has never been more interesting.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons:
My husband and I wanted to do this and our 7 and 9 year olds came along, but they weren't excited about it. We really liked the entire show, it was a great length to sit down for awhile. The kids did NOT get antsy at all, it really kept their attention, and my son said "the robots were cool!" We asked them afterwards and they said it was "ok but not very exciting." My husband and I did really like it though. We wouldn't make this a must do on every trip but I would like to see it again.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Everything Cons:
Oh my goodness! I have been to Magic Kingdom many times but have never thought about visiting this attraction. For the first time my family and I visited Magic Kingdom as well as the other Disney Parks in mid August. It was VERY hot outside, we were just happy to be inside the air-conditioning. Once inside the theater they started with a movie, I thought I would fall asleep, but before I could each president was introduced and the visuals and details of each robotic model was absolutely amazing! You have to see for yourself! I will definitely be going back to see this again.
