Ok...WITHOUT Getting Political...The Hall of Presidents Update

[Obobru]

How much space is left to add more presidents? I haven't been in for such a long time I can't remember if it looks like 2-3 more could be slipped in? If not they will have to start nailing them to the wall.

Why not a "Hall of Vice-Presidents" ? I think it's time for a Dan Quayle animatronic giving a stirring speech. An Agnew that quits mid-show of an Aaron Burr that shoots at the other Veeps. C'mon Disney, get off the dime!

Howzabout replacing Uncle Wilbur in COP with William Howard Taft? It could be an educational moment when he gets stuck in the bathtub...."Well, that's progress for you."

Like Taft would literally get stuck in the bathtub....er....then again, don't think he would be able to get stuck, as he would not be able to squeeze in to begin with.........I have been to his house too..... Best not to mix our attractions....

Oh nooooo not another lengthy refurb to add space........surely they could fit another row? That would take us a good 40 years or so.... Now I will be analyzing this possibility on my next trip, that AND I was just pondering, I will be at the Magic Kingdom ON election day...what a fitting time to enjoy the HOP. (Absentee Ballot already applied for)

So then, why hasn't it happened. Obviously a popular idea.

Well, you could 'deeply divide' the attraction Have 3 days a week Democrat, 3 days a week Republican and have a day for Whigs, Federalists and Andrew Johnson (look him up).

I wonder where the Hall of Presidents comes on the priority list of a newly appointed President.
"Congratulations Sir! Here's your new office, the toilet is down the corridor on the right, and we really need to get your new AA for Disney's Hall of Presidents sorted before you worry about any of the current country wide issues so when you're ready, we'll get started!".

If it was me, being in the HoP would be the highlight of my term.

This is why I will never be president.

Ya know, the whole 'reaction' to Hillary thing would be cool. I wonder who would turn, comment etc. I love that idea. It could have been done for Obama too...some of more 'men of their time' guys might have been aghast.

I agree, watching them react to Hillary would be interesting. But I think they would also probably keep it mild, like they did with Obama. The show tries to stay pretty upbeat and glosses over the bad points of American history.

They have them pretty well spaced right now. Maybe they can add another platform in the back, and have them in three tiers? They also have props like flower arrangements and desks with quills and ink wells on them which could be moved. I do like the props in there, it gives it kind of an oval office feel, instead of a bunch of guys in an empty room.

How about this- make an aa for the new president but also make a Hamilton aa and have him (done by Lin Manuel Miranda) be the one to talk about each president. That way Disney can say that it's bringing his brilliance and it won't look like its a political statement. I know this would be a change to the structure (by incorporating someone who never succeeded in becoming pres) but it may actually help younger people see hop as something other than a nap location.

Ummm, PLEASE?! I need this so bad.

If you put him in Alcatraz as an exhibit we have a deal. Pierced Organ is the scums scum.

curious why brits dislike him?

The title of this thread specifically states "Without getting Political" but yet people are doing just that.

if we all hold grenades somebody's going to loose a hand.

He is a scumbag of the highest order. He authorised hacking of murdered kids phones. Bribed police fabricated stories of war crimes by UK forces in the middle east. I would happily attend his post mortem.

Or Joe Biden asking a wheelchair bound paralyzed guest to stand up and be recognized.

I'd pay for a Rock 'em Sock 'em fistfight VeePee contest between Aaron Burr and Joe Biden. Real men, real fightin'. A good challenge for Garner Holt to build in an AA duo.
