Positive aspects of the product (pros): A great break for the sun - cushie chairs - lots of A/C Cons: Kids may be bored.
I have always loved the Hall of Presidents - even as a kid - but most kids will be bored. But it is a great place to take a break from the fast pace of the Magic Kingdom and regroup for the rest of your day.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Appeals to your patriotic side Cons: Young kids may not enjoy
It is a great way to teach your school age children history. The audio animatronics are great in this attraction.
It also is a great place to wind down from the hurried pace of park touring.
President B. Obama is going to be part of the attraction when it reopens.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Comfy, cool & semi quiet Cons: a bit boring
I love to visit the Hall of Presidents at least every other trip. Especially when they install a new President! I will admit after seeing George W. 3 or 4 times, I was kinda done. My oldest history buff loves it, youngest 9 yr old is bored to death. However it's cool, the chairs are comfy and the actual features of the attraction are pretty cool.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): The animatronic presidents Cons: Small children would not enjoy
My family like this attraction because of the reality of the presidents. We like history and my son is a history buff. I think it would be a bit boring for some.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Amazing technology Cons: Can get crowded in the queue waiting for the next show
People love to complain about this show, saying it's just a place to nap or nurse a baby. I totally disagree! This is one of my top 5 favorite attractions at Disney. The technology is amazing, the history lesson valuable, and the entire show very moving. I try to see it at least twice when I am in MK.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): You might learn something, cool, comfy seats Cons: It might put you to sleep
The film is interesting, but the animatronic Presidents are incredible and amazingly detailed. The seats are very comfortable, and that combined with the air conditioning may make you sleepy. On our last trip, DS slept so soundly that we had to sit through it twice! Not a must for every trip, but something I think everyone should see at least once.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cool Place to rest; historical value; comfortable theater Cons: May be a bit boring for the kids
Sad that it will be just a few days from opening from it's rehab on my trip, but maybe get to hit it next time. I think it's neat to see all the Presidents on one stage!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Air Conditioned and Relaxing Cons:
This is a wonderful diversion to get you out of the sun (or rain). Educational, technically impressive, and inspiring. Enjoy the lobby filled with presidential portraits before the show, as well.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cool place to sit down and rest Cons: A Little Boring
Great place for the kids to take a nap. Great place to go in the heat of the day. The animatronics are neat. The kids may get bored with this one.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great Animatronics Cons: Somewhat of a long wait.
This really brings history to life. It's as close to these presidents as we will ever get. The presentation is very informative.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great animatronics - well-done story! Cons:
We've only recently tried the Hall of Presidents despite years of visiting the parks, and I am sorry we didn't try it sooner. The animatronics are great and the storyline is a nice melding of history.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Interesting, educational and air conditioned Cons: Probably boring to a lot of people
I always loved this attraction, even as a kid, but I suspect I'm in the minority on that. The film presentation is well done and interesting, but the real gems of the show are all the president animatronics at the end. If you watch, they fidget, move and whisper to one another throughout the speeches.
If you have youngsters (or not-so-youngsters) in your group who won't enjoy a 20-minute dramatic presentation without animated characters/car chases, someone's probably going to be bored.

This is another good place to rest and get out of the heat. It is amazing to see the anomatranic characters tell there stories.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): A good history lesson Cons: Long
This is really a good history lesson, but the length, combined with the darkened room and comfortable chairs also make this a place where folks sneak a nap.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Animatronics, comfortable seating out of the heat! Cons: Might seem too educational for some impatient kids.
I have only seen this show a couple times, it's not one that is a must-see, but I do enjoy it. It sounds mean to say that it's a great way to get out of the heat, but that is really an important thing when it gets crazy-hot and busy out in the park. A nice way to slow down, chill out and relax while enjoying a good movie and great animatronics!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): animatronics Cons: not for little ones
great use of animatronics to give a little history lesson while making it fun to learn about our presidents.
No appeal for those under 8.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Moving, even if not overly patriotic Cons: Long winded
I admit, I teared up a bit the first (and only) time I saw this. But I think it was because I was in the middle of one of the big AA projects for Walt. It is a Disney history thing for me. I'm looking forward to seeing what the new changes will do for the experience. The trivia expert in the waiting area is impressive as well.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): A/C, chairs, out of the sun and to see the new presidents Cons: boring for Kids big and small
We visit maybe every 4 or 5th trip or if we need a break from a hot day. Typically we take our breaks back at the resort much more fun. Seeing the updated presidents is cool and interesting if you are a history buff.

This may be good for anyone who has interest in history. May be boring for little ones. A good place to relax from the heat and cool off. Don't do over some of the other better attractions.

Good A/C for a break in the middle of a hot day. The attention to detail for the Presidents is amazing, but difficult to appreciate if sitting further back in the theater.

We really like this attraction because of how well done the audioanimatronics are done. It can make any American feel patriotic and perhaps just a bit more proud about our country. Kids may get bored.

Little kids will have a hard time sitting still (good place for them to nap on your lap though!) The presidents are amazing, I can't wait to see it with out current pres! The movie leading up the the presidents is sooooo old though. I hope they update it with this rehab

I've always enjoyed this attraction (even as a child) but I've always been interested in history. This attraction is not likely to appeal to most kids.
