MK The Hall of Presidents closing for refurbishment on January 20, 2025

Does it matter? Both will be destroyed and replaced eventually.

Carousel has a little more hope…. I actually think there is a 10% or so chance of a version going into Disneyland even.

No matter what I think of HOP - its days are most likely numbered - I don’t think Liberty Square itself will exist on the maps once cars and or Villians opens.

Come on where’s your optimism

Trying to find Optimism and hope for the future in the Disney Parks community:

 

[Captain Barbossa]

Now THIS post wont age well.

100%

I give CoP 5 years, which at times, I feel is too generous. I hope I’m wrong and it’ll last longer, but it’ll eventually join the other “untouchables” that have bitten the dust.

I don't think it will change due to optics.

With them about to bulldoze the river next door I don’t think they care as much about optics as we think

my hope is that CoP is viewed almost as a historic landmark and exists in some form forever - very likely not at MK in the future but at a Disney Historic park in Marceline or something like that. Hope the same for some of the originals at Disneyland (Small World, Tiki Room (even though I know that has been changed over the years), etc)

A lot of what is at WDW I am more ok to go as isn't the original, isn't what "Walt had his hands directly in" but CoP is one of them

I really love that idea if they decide to sunset HoP.

That would be cool but we’re more likely to get the muppets which I’m honestly pretty okay with.

So, if HoP is rebooted into a show about “Great Americans” (which would, essentially, be another American Adventure), who gets to determine who the great Americans are/were…?! Who gets included, who gets left out…?!?!?! How many “greats” can be included based on a reasonable show length…?!?!?! How many Guests are gonna’ be upset someone they think is a “great” wasn’t included.
At least with HoP facts are facts…
This was our first president, this was our second president, this was our third president, etc.
At this point, just raze the whole damn building, and rebuild it as a “Cars” movie museum located near the former “Rivers of Shame”.

Lincoln. Washington. Hamilton. Thomas Jefferson. John Adams. and that’s just a few!

Didn’t Disney do this with American Adventure? I’m fine with having an entirely different attraction there.

Already been mentioned.
Go on, please…

And, I am not.
And, yes, I mentioned AA in my post, and that was my point…redundant.

Benjamin Franklin. Martin Luther king junior. Thomas Edison. Rosa parks. James Madison Frederick Douglas the wright brothers.

I’m not sure the fact that they’re easy to count means they should be honored with an attraction.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

I have said it isn't a priority for me to see and prefer to keep "real life" outside of MK - but I know a lot of people like it

I do think going back to the version where all the presidents get acknowledged but Lincoln or Washington get the speech vs the current president might be best

Looking forward to seeing the updates when The Hall of Presidents reopens

 

[LindseyDisney]

Moving Muppetvision3d to this theater somehow would be a net win for everyone.

Wasn’t there a rumor a few years back about the Muppets taking over the Hall of Presidents? I’d be all for that change! I absolutely love the American Adventure show at Epcot, but the Hall of Presidents feels out of place, especially with the planned updates to Frontierland. Plus, with so many international visitors at WDW, Moments with Lincoln works well in California but feels less relevant at Disney World. They should totally make it a Muppets attraction!

Given the current situation this is the best answer.

 

[JohnD]

I realize the Villains show hasn't opened yet but I think it's meant to be temporary anyway to whet people's appetites for Villains land in MK. That would be the perfect theater for MV3D since next to the rethemed Muppets RNRC. Then we can keep HOP.

I agree that’s where muppets should go from a thematic standpoint but as far as replacing hall of presidents goes this is the best idea and this way muppet vision 3d is a lot less likely to be replaced again in the future.

So what? If they aren't interested they aren't required to visit it.
