The Hall of Presidents attraction has reopened at Magic Kingdom following a 5-month refurbishment. As is tradition when the Presidency changes hands, the attraction closed on January 20, 2025, and reopened earlier today at Magic Kingdom. The attraction is expected to be largely unchanged from the previous version, with the only major change being the return of Donald Trump.
Walt Disney World quietly reopened the attraction, giving no advance notice that it would open today. Disney also did not return requests for comment. Disney simply listed the attraction operating hours when the clock struck 9am this morning.
UPDATE: Here is the updated part of the attraction, now featuring Donald Trump.
And here is our article with updated photos, showing the changes that were made. Our original article continues below.
Hall of Presidents Attraction Reopens with Donald Trump
The Hall of Presidents is an opening day attraction at Magic Kingdom, and it features all of the country’s Presidents in audio-animatronic form. The show is mostly a video presentation about the history of the Presidency and how different men have approached the job, including the challenges they faced and the changes they made.
During the show, an audio-animatronic version of Abraham Lincoln takes the stage to deliver the Gettysburg Address. The finale of the show finds the curtain lifting to reveal all of the Presidents of the United States, past and present. Most of the Presidents have non-speaking roles, giving the audience a nod as they are introduced, one by one.
George Washington and the current President have speaking roles. Donald Trump gives the Presidential oath of office, as he did during his first term as President.
The Hall of Presidents attraction is located in Liberty Square, along with the Haunted Mansion attraction. There were rumors that Walt Disney World was looking at changing the Hall of Presidents, given how charged the political climate is in the United States, but they opted not to change the attraction and it is open once again.

I think they purposely made Trump look like anything but Trump.
Good! I’m so glad it’s reopened.
Maybe they will make the animation icon look like the real person. I doubt it though.
I guess the figured they sat on their hands long enough, and HAD to open it by July 4th….
I was so glad to hear it reopen I’ve been very hopeful that it would. I think it’s an important and very interesting attraction. And with animatronics becoming a thing of the past at Disney it’s nice that that remains open. However I am extremely disappointed that they skipped over Trump’s name between Obama and Biden and then announced him as “and now for the present”. They never said his name at all. He announced his own name while reciting the oath. It’s very obvious Disney does not like Trump but I think it’s disgusting that they bring their political views into what is supposed to be a family park.
They made President Trump look awful. Disney is so woke and that’s their demise. They do have a severe problem.
Way to go Disney! Your wokness definitely is showing in the way you have portrayed Pres Trump. His animatronic likeness looks terrible. Disney has lost its appeal for quite sometime and is way too expensive for the average family!!
If you hate it so much don’t go 🤷🏻♀️ we love woke disney 💙🐭
I agree with the other comments. The figure of Pres Trump looks terrible! I’ve tried to comment twice and Dinsey doesn’t approve it. I guess they don’t really care what our opinions are. I won’t waste my time and money going to any of their parks anymore as they are way too woke!
Good for you Julie! You do you.
Julie I didn’t post that I hate Disney. I’m very disappointed how political they have become and the terrible way they have presented our current Pres. in the Hall of Presidents. Good on you for liking to be woke as it has caused such division in this country. Politics needs to be left out of these corporations!
Even Disney has to acknowledge that he is president. Disney does not have to make the convicted felony look good.
