The Hall of Presidents
The Hall of Presidents is a show in Liberty Square about the history of the presidency of the United States. The show opened in 1971, together with Magic Kingdom. Every American president appears on stage together.
The concept
In a stately theatre, you first watch a film on three large screens. It tells the story of the founding of the United States, the Constitution and difficult times such as the Revolution and the Civil War. The film was made with a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian. Then the curtain rises on the presidents themselves.
The Experience
On stage are lifelike Audio-Animatronics of every president. Abraham Lincoln delivers the famous Gettysburg Address and George Washington gives a speech. You also hear the oath of office of the current president. The idea goes back to Walt Disney himself: for the 1964 World's Fair he had the first human Audio-Animatronics figure made, Abraham Lincoln.
