Its honoring only and all Presidents no matter sides or contributions etc not any other political figures, which in turn is patriotism and pride in national history. As cambellzsoup post said above: if you don’t like who’s voted in (and I'll add in past or present) don’t go or grow up.

I’m all grown up and I understood his post but pointed out what I thought would be a better alternative.

Unfortunately, history has shown that politicians, simply by virtue of being elected, do not necessarily inspire pride.

I come from a state where it is a rare governor who escapes prison.

It’s okay to disagree on this. It’s not a big deal to have different opinions.

Ehh Patriotism can go too far, there's certain people who probably shouldn't be in a theme park like this and I'm not just talking the current president. Many presidents have done some HEINOUS things ignore it or not. It's time for this attraction to go. It's polarizing, unpopular, and doesn't belong.

I love the dynamic of telling people in a chat about a family theme park with a primarily family focused audience to "grow up". And that it will outlast all of us with the proof being YOU like it personally. If blind patriotism like this survives my lifetime, I would genuinely be in shock when the company wants to take out references to axe murderers in HM and negative depictions of Native Americans but decides to NOT take out a glorification of the guy who caused the Trail of Tears... Like you seriously think thats gonna hold up in 50 more years??

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”.

The same way American Adventure did? This is a non issue because its already happened. Or how about we just make it Muppets and make everyone fine with it.

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

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

Politicians are no longer the statesmen they were in the early years. It’s often the ones with the most money who win.

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

People don't have the same respect for presidents they had years ago.

Negative campaigning has always occurred but recent elections have raised it to an art form.

Campaigns used to be conducted with at least a nod to dignity and decorum. Now by the time the candidates are done slinging mud at each other they've managed to convince most of the country that neither one is fit to serve.

The kind of vitriol whipped up today can't easily be switched off once the election is over.

I'm not sure we can have nice things like the HOP anymore.
