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.

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!

Great animatronics - enough that you believe those are the real people

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.

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.

We waited about 10 minutes for this around 5:30pm on 5/18. It was interesting, but not a must do.

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!

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.

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.

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.

The new animatronics are very smooth. The story line flows a bit better than the old version.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
