The Hall of Presidents

DiversionStandby Only

A descendant of Walt's 'Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln' from the 1964 World's Fair, expanded into a full presidential lineup. The show opens with a cinematic narration on American history, then the curtain rises to reveal all 46 presidents on stage — they nod, shift, look around — before Lincoln and the current sitting president each deliver a brief speech. The animatronic figures are remarkably lifelike; the politics of the script are noticeably restrained. A particular favorite of history buffs and people seeking 25 minutes of air conditioning.

Hall of Presidents reset

The runtime is long enough to actually reset the group, and the theater format means no one has to negotiate a bench or crowd flow.
