Hall of Presidents Update 2025

[VicariousCorpse]

This may sound like a stupid question and I’m pretty sure I know the answer, but, the Lincoln AA that gives the Gettysburg Address is the same Lincoln AA that’s on stage with the other presidents, right?

Yes.

Yes, there's a curtain that drops behind him which obscures the view of the rest of the presidents.

I can’t say I’m 100% certain but I always thought that was the case, and a clever double use of the AA.

Yes.

Thanks, that’s what I was pretty certain of. For some reason, it seems to me that the Gettysburg Address Lincoln isn’t up as close to the front of the stage as the Lincoln with the other presidents. So I thought maybe there was a small chance that there’s 2 Lincolns. But since it’s the one speaking AA, that would make it easier to give him an additional speech after the other presidents have been introduced.

They already eliminated the POTUS speech part

Did they? I’m surprised I hadn’t heard - although I haven’t seen it since the Obama version.

I think either way something happens. I dunno if a full retheme/replace, but something. Have Lincoln and Washington speak again!

American adventure is way better anyway IMHO

 

[WondersOfLife]

I made it in!!!

 

[Raineman]

I can imagine how many people are just itching to get political in here. I'm in, seeking the safety of this thread before they put the locks on the door. lol

Just making sure all the presidents are represented, Give the actual talking parts back to Washington and Lincoln and call it a day...no more presidential speeches... Just a presence. That would be my preferred show....

I like that the current president talks even when its not my candidate. And I watch quietly and respectfully.

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

They both do in the current version.

American adventure is way better anyway IMHO

Hall of Presidents, American Adventure, and Great Moments are all 3 masterpieces - I couldn’t pick a favorite.

Hey, remember that was the big rumor that never came to pass four years ago? Including Muppetizing it?

Fun. Laughs. Good times.

Oh ya, you're right! They could just bring that idea back with Muppets addressing the history and future of DVC lol

I think its time to get that Weird Al Muppets collaboration project that was cancelled. Please and thank you.

Enough of this foolishness.

What foolishness would you like to see?

They should turn it into a table service restaurant -- 46 booths, each with its own Presidential animatronic, muttering historic facts about their time(s) in office, making witty conversation, and suggesting period-appropriate meal choices to the diners. Vary the menu among the booths to match popular cuisine from each president's era. Every 45 minutes, stage a political convention-themed musical revue, and all the animatronics could join in on the musical numbers.

Call it The Presidential Prandial Pavilion, and charge $99 per adult, $65 for kids under 10.

Every four years, they can add another booth/table.

hall of presidents jamboree? i can see animatronic presidents singing neil diamond’s america, james brown’s living in america. animatronic bill clinton playing the saxophone. i have good & bad images in my head already.

Oh boy! all the presidents singing patriotic songs, ! I love it!!!!

 

[HauntedPirate]

So is it a single “current POTUS” AA that keeps getting reskinned and then, after a new POTUS is elected, the previous one’s skin is put on a new, cheap AA? I need to see that video on an Imagineering special!

You think those Imagineering videos can just be created at the drop of a hat? Money needs to be secured. Palms need to be greased. Approvals are required. Scripts need to be written (and revised, and re-written, and re-revised, and then read, re-read, revised, read again... you get the idea). Equipment needs to be reserved. Calendar entries sent out. It's a massive undertaking to create even the most basic 5-minute video. Then there's the marketing and PR fluff, social campaigns... All to satisfy your personal whims. Sheesh.

So after all said and done like it takes more than 10 people to screw in a lightbulb?
