The Hall Of Presidents

The Hall of Presidents is located off Liberty Square in the Magic Kingdom. For some reason, I always remember it being in the American Pavilion in EPCOT, but that’s a different show. This is the classic animatronic show that has been around since the park opened, but gets updated every four years or so.
One of the chief selling points about this is the large auditorium with the comfortable seats allows a nice break in the a/​c after walking around the heat of the Magic Kingdom all day.
It starts off with a short film, gives Lincoln a chance to shine, then winds up with an introduction to all forty-​odd nodding mannequins. I was surprised and impressed that it wound up with a speech by animatronic Obama. Be sure to brace yourself if the sitting president is someone you don’t like.

Narrated by Morgan Freeman. This was my favorite attraction at the park. The detail of the president’s is awesome.

If your into history and love history of the United States and the presidents, then the Hall of Presidents is the place to see. You enter Independence Hall and wait to sit in the theater. Once seated, you watch and listen as the Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama give you a speech about the country and the history of the Country. A must for history buffs.

Love it!!! It wasn’t what I expected, but it was still an awesome show!!! You get a bit of Presidential history, and you get to meet each and every president we’ve had! Even a couple of them give you a personal speech about when they were in office. Really cool show, and I will not go into great detail about it because I don’t want to ruin or spoil the show for you, but you MUST take it in. It’s about a 15 – 20 minute show, narrated by Morgan Freeman. If you like history and presidential history at that, you’ll hate yourself to miss this!

This was day 4 of our theme park marathon. This was our 4^th day of standing up for hours and we needed to have enough stamina to last until midnight to watch the NYE fireworks at Magic Kingdom. So, we decided to hit up all the «sitting down in the AC» shows. This includes the Country Bear Jamboree, Hall of Presidents, Enchanted Tiki Room, and Mickey’s Philharmagic.
In the words of my sister: «We are on vacation and we’re not here to learn.» So I will admit I might have forced this one upon the fam. A little education never hurt anyone. This «ride» is educational, but definitely enjoyable. Not one of the family slept through the show, which is an achievement.
The show begins with a movie that hits the highlights of US history: American Independence, Civil War, etc. When you enter the Civil War era the curtains pull back and you hear an animatronic Abraham Lincoln give his famous Gettysburg Address. The grand finale is when the curtains pull back even further to reveal all 43 of our presidents in animatronic form.
And the best part is resting your feet for 15 minutes in an AC filled room. So good.

Full disclosure, I feel asleep on this «ride». But it was decent. I think the first half was a video and the second half was more interactive — without giving too much away. Glad I did it, but I probably wouldn’t do it again unless our line of presidents become so diverse it breaks up the room of old white men. Boring.

Definitely a must see attraction in the Magic Kingdom.
There was no wait at all and we went directly into the theater.
Great narration by Morgan Freeman.
Theater is big and beautiful
They have life size figures of all the presidents from first to current.
Morgan Freeman tells a great and exhilarating story.
Truly a great history lesson of the presidents and the United States history.
Definitely would go again and again.

What can I say? This is probably my favorite place to go at the Magic Kingdom. There’s never a wait and it’s such a nice theater. So basically, the cool part is seeing the animated presidents. The film is very educational as well, but I wish it was a little bit less time-​consuming.
It gets really interesting when Abraham Lincoln rises out of his chair and begins to speak to the audience. You almost don’t want to pay attention to what this president is saying because it’s just so realistic that you’re just in awe.
With that said, they lift the curtains and all the presidents of the United States are in front of you. They look so lifelike and I’m sure Disney went through a great deal of trouble to make this as life like as possible. It feels like they are all just in front of you.
When you get to the current president, Barack Obama, he speaks for a lengthier amount of time. It was the same thing when George W. Bush was in office. So whoever the current president will be from now on, he or she will speak for a lengthier amount of time. It’s a really cool attraction and a must see!

I have to say this is probably one of Disneys most boring attractions. I think they need to update America and give it a cool attraction worth everyone’s time that we are all excited to go to!

Another great recommendation for getting off your feet and getting some air conditioning. This show is a good history lesson and has really cool antamatronics (spelling there might not be right). Either way, a really enjoyable relaxing time. Check it out if you need to give your feet a break.

I loved the Hall of Presidents! It was my first time visiting (I’m not sure if they have this attraction in Disneyland) and it was truly a lovely reminder of how great our country is. It’s a wonderful history lesson for young and old alike.
I absolutely loved the video on the history of our great nations and our presidents and enjoyed the animatronic display of all of the presidents introducing themselves. I especially enjoyed the last segment with President Obama introducing himself and giving a mini-​speech.
My only criticism is that the waiting area does not have enough seats, so many people have to stand for 15 – 20 minutes waiting for the show or they have to sit on the ground (as we ended up doing). But it’s air conditioned both inside the waiting area and the theater, so that was highly appreciated.
Overall, a great attraction that is a must-​see at Disney World. It’s very patriotic and a wonderful way to cram in a history lesson between all of the other attractions.

This was my first visit. And I have to say, I was really impressed. It’s a bit of history, the animatronics are great. Worth a visit.

It was a good contribution to America itself and a good way to get out of the heat. I am surprised that they were able to introduce all of the presidents but if you sit in the back it is hard to see all of the presidents and resemblance. When they are introduce they just nod their head. The presidents are scattered all over the place so when they are introduce you have to look for them which can be confusing. I admit I fell asleep during some of the parts, but it was nice and cool in there.

Again another opportunity to have a seat out of the sun and in the air conditioning but with the added bonus of an educational experience.
Morgan Freeman narrates a history of American Presidents focussing on Washington, Jackson, Lincoln, Roosevelts & Kennedy but rounding off with all of them.
It’s a mix of animatronics, voice-​overs and video. My 5 year old was interested and watched the whole show and the animatronics were pretty good. Is it exciting? No. Would I do it again? Probably not but it would again be another good breastfeeding spot!

The Hall of Presidents located in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida is a must see for any true American patriot. It just give me chills when I see the story of our nation, and further accentuated with the Presidents that are on display. I especially enjoy Pres. Ronald Reagan, and when you’re there check out portrait of him that’s in the entrance area.
You will also enjoy some of the museum quality artifacts that are on display while you’re waiting for the presentation to begin.
If you are a visitor to this to our nation, this may give you a better feel of what true American patriotism is all about.

Get a front row seat. I think the Abraham Lincoln automaton in Hall of Presidents might be Disney’s piece de resistance of automatons. His movements are so fluid and elegant, it’s more than human. I had to see this stuff up close.
The less-​animated presidents taking up the background still get their own traits. The best part of the show is catching these little motions. Ronald Reagan wiggles his foot around. Benjamin Harrison (I think?) pats Chester Arthur on the back. Oh, there’s also a show that happens, but I guarantee that you’ll completely forget it once you’re confronted with these 43 life-​size robots.

What a great place and attraction to remind you why it’s good to be an American.
It’s also a great place for some ice cold air conditioning in a dark and seated environment while you get a history lesson. If you’re not a history buff, it’s a nice place to take a nap and hear the voice of God (Morgan Freeman) lecture you and then proceed to name each and every single President of the USA.
There are a LOT of animatronics in this, though most of them don’t move much, it still counts. There also have been so many presidents that I completely forgot all about them (if they’re not on a form of currency or pop culture, it’s like, who was that?
I’ve seen this and stayed awake for its entirety once, and then a couple more times I went in to take a nap. No shame here, like mentioned, it’s cold, dark and comfortable with the soothing voice of God.

Feeling patriotic? Come on down to The Hall of Presidents. I have always been a fan of Great Moments with Lincoln at Disneyland resort. What could possibly be better than to a story about one of the Presidents of the United States of America? A story with ALL the presidents of the United States of America.
This is a great historical journey through the history of the American presidency. Morgan Freeman narrates this story. No surprise, since he seems to narrate just about everything, but he adds a special something to it.
Every single president is represented here. So cool. You have to check it out.

Very cool bit of history, and a nice place to sit down and cool off during your day at the Magic Kingdom.
This theater is HUGE, so you shouldn’t have much of a wait to get in.
What to expect? The show starts with a short film narrated by Morgan Freeman, during which Animated Abe Lincoln delivers his Gettysburg Address. After the film, you are treated to animated figures of each and every president in history, with special attention paid to Barack Obama, the United States’ current leader.
I really recommend checking out the show — aside from being cool, it’s a great way to get a little rest!

We heard about The Hall of Presidents and stopped in to check it out. Shows are quite often and the theater is nice and spacious.
The attraction is a history lesson told by Morgan Freeman, shown on three screens of movie theater tall screens. Massive and pretty comfortable.
The show was very informative, graphics were great but the life size animatronic presidential characters were AMAZING. At one point, I had a hard time figuring out how they look and move so lifelike.
It was a great show and I’m glad that the park has features like this, that keep kids not only entertained but educated about the history of Presidents in America.
