The Hall of Presidents in Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World has been closed for months now as Imagineers add President Joe Biden to the attraction. The Hall of Presidents has shared the story of the presidents of the United States for almost 50 years. Now, the 46th president has been added and the show is almost ready to reopen! As Disney Imagineers are putting the final touches on the show, which will debut to guests in August, let’s take a behind-the-scenes look at the latest update.

Since opening day of Magic Kingdom Park in 1971, The Hall of Presidents has brought to life the heritage of the United States and shared the symbolic importance and uniqueness of the office of the President. Now, the story of liberty’s leaders continues to be told and retold to new generations as Walt Disney originally envisioned.
Just as Walt envisioned, creative teams have been busy programming an Audio-Animatronics replica of the President, pairing it with a delivery of the presidential oath of office recorded at the White House by President Biden himself just for the attraction. Every detail comes together to create a realistic and symbolic glimpse into the office of the President through the years, from the carefully tailored clothing to the props, documents and furniture placed throughout the stage. Next time Guests visit, they may notice the table next to President Biden is adorned with a few special items, each with their own significance to the President—including peach blossoms to represent his home state of Delaware and a pair of aviators as a nod to his proclivity for the sunglasses.
