Hall of Presidents

Disney Releases Statement on Trump Speaking Role in Hall of Presidents

June 28, 2017 by Robert Morgan Leave a Comment

Disney was left with little choice as no matter what they decided to do with President Trump and the Hall of Presidents, they would upset someone in this toxic political atmosphere. Hopefully, they can launch the updated Hall of Presidents with little controversy (Trump still has to record his audio and Disney accept) and people will either enjoy the attraction or decide not to attend. Here is the official statement from Disney.

Whenever we refurbish one of our attractions, we take the opportunity to consider a broad range of enhancements. In this case, The Hall of Presidents is getting a new show, and a complete theater upgrade including a new sound system, lighting and high-definition projection system. The multi-screen viewing experience you may have seen in prior versions of the attraction is returning with an even wider vantage point of our country’s history.Since the Magic Kingdom Park opened in 1971, The Hall of Presidents has brought together a one-of-a-kind look at the office of the President of the United States through film and the magic of Disney’s Audio-Animatronics technology. Despite some media reports to the contrary, President Trump will have a speaking role in The Hall of Presidents, like every president since 1993. We have been working closely with the current White House — just as we have with previous administrations — and the president’s recording session has been scheduled. The attraction will re-open in late 2017.

Creating the Hall of Presidents: Rare Footage from 1971

June 27, 2017 by Robert Morgan Leave a Comment

The Hall of Presidents is under a refurbishment to add the 45th President Donald Trump and is expected to be unavailable to visitors for at least most of the summer. We thought it would be a good time to share this rare footage of Imagineers creating the Hall of Presidents. Amazing that this project was started over forty years ago and still remains today. History does stand the test of time.

Rarely seen footage of WED employees (Imagineers today) at work building Walt Disney World is a real treat. That is just what you’ll find in this incredible video of WED at work building the Hall of Presidents filmed on 02/16/71 for the opening of Walt Disney World brought to you by DisneyAvenue.com. Keep an eye out for legendary Imagineers like Herb Ryman, Harriett Burns and more. Enjoy!
