One of my all time favorite stops when visiting Disney Magic Kingdom. Walt Disney loved the heart of what the United States stands for and said he always felt he had a little red white and blue running through his veins amongst all the other wonderful colors he used every day to create the wonderful world of Disney Magic.He wanted an exhibit to commemorate the Presidents of the United States, that showed the greatness and the difficulty of the role. Unfortunately he passed before it was developed and yet the creators certainly kept the Disney spirit alive in this exhibit.As the narrator in the show says, Some call the Presidency a glorious burden, Jefferson calls it a splendid misery. Im sure no truer words have been spoken.Thank you Walt and thank you Disney for maintaining this wonderful presentation, even at times when the idea of the position of President and politics may be difficult.
Hadnt been to Hall of Presidents since 2013. Really enjoyed the new(?) or updated show--not sure which since I typically use this as a nap attraction. The artifacts in the preshow area are amazing. Seats are comfortable and A/C so nice during warmer months. It is never too busy so it is a nice place to escape from the masses and get a nice history lesson!
If an amazing technology, we can find all American presidents together like a live.
Definitely worth going to when you are here. It gives you a chance to brush up on your history and its always cool to see a new president added!
A very interesting, clever and informative show about the history of all the United States Presidents, theyre always adding more to it and updating the show with each new president.The show an amazing and optimistic view for each of the U.S presidents and positive achievements throughout history.Its definitely a stop on your list of to-do things if youre interested in hearing more about the U.S history.Amazing quality audio, a fantastic and detailed structure, and well-made animatronics, while it may not be the most fun attraction on the park, its certainly one that will leave you relatively informed about the countrys history in a rather entertaining way.
I loved it!! I love that when President Trump was talking most everyone clapped!! It was awesome!! The real ness is amazing!
The Hall of Presidents is definitely a stop to make at the Magic Kingdom. Disney really shows some talent with this show. Youll sit in a large indoor theater and watch a short film on some American history followed by life-like animatronic versions of the presidents of the United States of America! From the very first president to the current president. This show always amazes me!
I have seen this show so many times over many years! It has changed and included the presidents as they are elected and it is just as relevant today as it was so many years ago. They changed what they say a little, but it is a great show and exudes patriotism at it finest. Whether you are a democrat, republican or somewhere in between, everyone should see this show. The presidents are so amazing and even when they arent the ones speaking, you will see them blink, fidget, and look around. They appear real. This is an amazing experience and well worth the visit!
I enjoyed coming to this place in 2013 is very educational and interesting. The pieces are very realistic and the show is very entertaining I feel like I learned so much at this show. Id come back to this place it was one of the last attractions we visited and it was a great one. I had so much fun.
Fantastic show highlighting amazing presidents over the history of our country. This is a great way to incorporate an educational element into your Disney trip. My son loved the giant screen and the “voices” of the former presidents.
Watch a short film about the highest office in the country and see animatronic versions of the 45 Presidents. If anything, enjoy the cold air conditioned auditorium for approximately 25 minutes.
I like president but do they tell you all abut them
Fascinating experience. Would definitely go back.
Watch all the Presidents of the United States talk and move. Great place for some history and a cool place away from the heat Great music too
It presents an optimistic and edited version of the American presidency. Definitely worth a visit. The staff is very knowledgeable and ready to entertain you with presidential trivia.
This is a really neat attraction albeit a bit brief unfortunately (understandably so). The realness of the presidents on stage along with their actions and mannerisms is remarkable and truely impressive to watch. Some controversial topics are brushed over or ignored all together, but it is absolutely worth spending some time to see while you are at the magic kingdom.
This was one of our surprising highlights at DisneyWorld. As a child, I remember this being extremely long; however, as I witnessed it today, I am very grateful and humbled by this experience. It is so important to realize the sacrifices that were made and are being made. One of the most amazing things by far was how only facts were reported as they related to the importance of Democracy and Integrity. Thank you Walt Disney for creating a legacy that transcends generations.
Attended this show while at Magic kingdom. I have been to hall of President many times in the past and now on thanksgiving eve. This is the first time since Trump has been in power and in was updated and very informative. The place was pack and passionate about their past and current Presidents. It’s a very well put Togeather presentation and I am happy my 6 grade son got to experience it.
Great show Hall of Presidents the one I saw narrative voice of Morgan Freeman. I like how this show always gets an update. The robotic presidents life-like in size. Very informative from beginning to end.
Informative and good
Trump was too white, but the animatronics were cool.
They put on an OK show. Mostly about the most famous of presidents. Nothing really new or different over the years.
This is one of those you either love it or you hate it attractions. If you are like me and appreciate how long HoP has been a part of the Disney landscape, and, if like me, you enjoy history, then you will enjoy this. If, however, history is not your thing, then you will probably only be in here for a 20 minute nap in the air conditioning.
Interesting attraction. While extremely informative and a great place to go to get a moment out of the heat, can backfire as the seats are comfortable and could cause you to doze off.
I always genuinely enjoy this experience. From a lobby filled with presidential memorabilia through the generations to the show itself, its very educational and enjoyable. Highly recommend stopping by if you havent in awhile. Not something to do more than once in awhile, but its still phenomenal.
Not sure that politics really holds a place in WDW
Love it Ill go back
Very interesting place to visit. A lot of history and information. Very honored to visit .
Usually a very good attraction, but they had some technical difficulties with the animatronics when we went this year. The newest president robot, whose prosthetic body had clearly started to melt beneath its enormous suit and dissolve into a featureless mass of neon goo, short-circuited and diverged from the programmed script to ramble semi-coherently about what Graydon Carter said to him at his hotel in 1987. Anyway, the kids were a little confused and I had to explain to them who Anna Wintour was. I hope they get the AC running again soon and sort out the wiring on their machines.
Great park for all ages! The Hall of Presidents should be visited by everyone. Uplifting and patriotic video, great speech and clever way of presenting American history! Highly recommend!
Giving it a 5 even if I think it is a bit less because I must encourage people not to miss it. A great story telling with pretty large screen and awesome speeches from former and actual US presidents.
Did tell great story of America, but has become super biased and kinda ruined it for me
A celebration to democracy and American values, show has been revamped and upgraded, truly remarkable, valuable educational experience for young and old, its key to have this show in order to understand the greatness of our blessed Nation. Innadditom its a very good opportunity for a cool rest.
I first saw this exhibit when I was in fifth grade. It made a huge impression on me and I will always remember it.
The revamped Hall of Presidents was 50% diatribe for the struggle for equality. The largest message of the film and audio was that the USA was an evil empire until the civil war freed slaves and has only slowly improved since then but that we are on the right track. I left the film feeling disgusted by my country even though the US is likely the fairest to ethnic minorities in the world and probably the best place a woman has ever lived in the history of the planet.
Favorite experience at Disney World!!
This one is pretty good much better than the one at Disneyland. However the one at Disneyland was first so thats something! But this one is a big Improvement on like Disneyland where Abraham Lincoln comes out in this one all of the presidents including the current president comes out and talks and things like that much better. Really enjoyed it!
Great place to relax and enjoy the vivid presentation of the history of USA and the ideas of Presidents in the wonderful theater.
The Hall of Presidents is a nice stop for history buffs or people who like the more retro stops in the Magic Kingdom. The animatronics are fun, even if political views can sometimes complicate the experience. Worth a brief stop if youre in the area.
Terrifically updated presentation of American history on the barest nutshell. The animatronics are state of the art.
Even before entering the show you are presented with patriotic decor to set the mood. Walking through the door there is plenty of seating including a handicap section. The show itself was fantastic! The voice over is Morgan Freeman, and he does an excellent job narrating. It was awesome to see all of the presidents come to life at the end, including Barrack Obama giving an awesome speech. If you are into history, or are feeling patriotic, this show is perfect for you!
Great tribute to the United States presidentS!
Dont miss this attraction at Walt Disney World FL. Great for almost anyone, younger kids may get a bit bored though. Not recommended for babies, as it is something you want to listen closely to. A inspiring history attraction.
Love this attraction!! The attention to detail for every president is awesome and very cool that they have a small museum of actual artifacts as well.
Its always hard to find a place to relax and cool down in this Florida heat. This is the perfect place to take it easy and cool down. I had heard stories of people taking a quick nap too.
This is one amazing attraction. Very informative and well executed. Its not a ride. Its a hall where paintings and objects that belonged to a couple american presidents, are shown. Every twenty minutes or so a show starts. The show is about telling a bit about the United States history and the presidents that occupied the office until Obama. Very very nice.
Great stop.
First time seeing the show. Well worth the time. Everyone should take the time
It was never quite as solid once they cut Abraham Lincolns speech down and handed some of that time to the current president (I believe it started with Bill Clinton). Around that same time they had Maya Angelou do the narration and her voice simply didnt carry the gravitas that the traditional narrator of the film did. Its still a technological wonder, but its import has been diminished since the ever-progressive (increasingly liberal) Disney company tinkered with it.
Need to go back to see pres Trump
Air conditioned..CHECK! What a great place to take a 10 minute nap!! You can close your eyes and rest and listen to the drones of android presidents. I do this and then its off to Pirates! Come on!!
One of my favorite attractions at Disney world!
Love that they keep it up to date
Nicely done. The movement was almost realistic.
Great stop to rest your feet
If you like American History and the Presidents, this is a MUST see! See all the presidents live on stage, ending with a speech of Obama (now). Its amazing how technology can fool us... they really look so real.
Love this show. The trump animatronic is better than the real guy
Brought back memories of my first visit over 20 years ago, with enough modernization to make it interesting for an adult mind. Quick concise history lesson covering the key turning points of American politics thats understandable enough for kids
If your into history and love history of the United States and the presidents, then the Hall of Presidents is the place to see. You enter Independence Hall and wait to sit in the theater. Once seated, you watch and listen as the Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama give you a speech about the country and the history of the Country. A must for history buffs.
Well done! howd they get such a good quality audio recording of Abe Lincoln? Disney seriously rules.
A good show with a quick focus on a few of the bigger-named Presidents. The animatronic Presidents are incredibly life-like!
Was there to see the new Trump animatron. It was a very good speech. I was wondering if anyone would boo but everyone cheered.
Very interesting information
History comes to life
Nice
Great for history buffs that want to know little unknown facts and see specific articles that the presidents owned.
An interesting experience, of important historical significance, not only of our countrys leaders but of the Disney park itself. The animatronics are astoundingly realistic and its a nice relaxing show you can experience to get away from the walking and heat.
One of my favorites. Perfect summer atraction. Gives you a chance to relax and recharge and at the same time is very entertaining and informative
One of my favorite shows in Disney. Learn something about Americas history everything I see this show. And the presidents look so real!
Its a great presentation that gives historical information in an interesting way. A sure-fire way for Patriots to get goosebumps.
Its a great place to learn something. Its also the perfect place for the kids to have a little quiet time, or a nap, to recharge their batteries.
It has changed this year. I have seen it 2 times a year since it has been up and runningThis year music has changed. Not playing hail to the chief when the presidents are introduced. Thats what made the whole thing. Not it is off my list to see again.
The Hall of Presidents at Walt Disney World is still closed, awaiting the arrival of Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States. Word has it now that the exhibit wont reopen until early 2018, more than a year after the President took office.The Hall of Presidents is a decent exhibit overall. Im disappointed at the time its taken to reopen. Research shows that with prior Presidents the renovation process was much quicker.William E. Lewis Jr.Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
I was not as impressed by this attraction as I thought I would be. I prefer to spend my time elsewhere in the park. I think the American Experience in Epcot is better.
All the family liked it!
Horrible job to the artists who made President Trump. The resemblance of his face looks horrible and needs to be remade.Good exhibit of history to see and hear all of our 45 Presidents of the United States
This attraction to me is more of a time killer than anything else. Its educational but nothing special to me.
If you like history and exhibits of wonderful memorabilia, then this is your place. The only room for improvement is that it should be bigger.
I can appreciate the history presented here, but no six year old child wants to sit through this. A great display of technology and patriotism, but not a great Disney attraction.
One of my favorite attractions in Disney. I love our country even more after viewing it.
Very neat round theater experience where Americas past is told through the voice of Morgan Freeman. As the story is told, the screen expands giving viewers a more expansive and immersive view. At the end the screen lifts revealing all the Presidents that are animatronic and are listed off one by one ending with Barack Obama. Pretty cool just to see the robotics and screen immersion if anything
Show needs updated. Animatronics are cool. Nice cool place to rest and take a nap during a hot afternoon.
They really could have done a better job on Trumps face, but the recording was good.
Sadly, I can not bring myself to visit this attraction anymore. Politics have ruined it for me. I am glad that I got to see it before that happened though. Most people just use it for the AC anymore.
This was an amazing educational attraction of America. Its lovely and cool inside and you get to see all the presidents inside, including Lincoln who was Walts inspiration.
Cant wait for the update for our new president! This is a great patriotic attraction.
I loved it! My girlfriend thought the presidents were actors who werent good at lipsyncing. Shes a goof.
Educational classic building. If you love history and a place to sit down this is it.
Disney did a great job tying history to entertainment. Highly recommended it, especially if you need a break from the heat and crowds.
Its dark, calm, and air conditioned inside. Nice for a break in your day. The animatronics are neat however I liked the Simpsons version better. ;)
I was worried donald trumps addition would ruin this attraction, but i was pleased to see that they opted to add jon voight to the cast of presidents instead!
An amazing celebration of the nations Presidents. The animatronix are very realistic. A most see.
