Sure seems to be heading way into the New Year. Here's a current article from Inquisitr:
"As the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump winning the election to become the President of the United States approaches, many at
Walt Disney World are wondering when he will arrive. While the president may not be heading to the parks for a vacation, he is supposed to end up as an audio-animatronic in The Hall of Presidents attraction in Magic Kingdom. Now, it may take even longer for the president to make his way among the others at WDW.
The Hall of Presidents closed down in January of this year, and it was originally scheduled to reopen for guests sometime in the summer of 2017. The first reopening date was late June, and it was then pushed to the middle of July and eventually pushed to “late 2017,” but that appears to have changed again.
As reported by the
Inquisitr last month, Disney
had taken all showtimes off of their official website for The Hall of Presidents through 2017. That led to the idea that the attraction would not open until 2018, but there had not yet been any confirmation.
Now, there are even more signs that the attraction may end up being closed for at least a full year before opening back up.

Disney’s public relations department had “no comment” on the situation and wouldn’t even say if the attraction was going to open in “late 2017” as they’ve stated in the past. During the summer, Disney spokesperson Jacquee Wahler told
My News 13 that would be when the Hall of Presidents would reopen, but it doesn’t seem likely now.
That is also when Disney stated Donald Trump would be included in the attraction in the same way that past presidents had been. It was also confirmed that Trump would have a speaking part in the Hall of Presidents.
Cast members standing outside the attraction to answer questions are still saying it will reopen later this year, and that pretty much confirms there is confusion all around."
