The Hall Of Presidents was a dream of Walt Disney's from the very start of Disneyland but the technology was not advanced enough to pull off yet. Thus, Walt decided to put his Audio-Animatronics to the test by Creating a life like interpratation of his favorite president, Abraham Lincoln. This attraction was called Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln.
This attraction premiered along with many others at the 1964 Worlds Fair. It wasn't exactly what Walt wanted but he was happy with it. This attraction was the start to many great rides and attractions in all the Disney parks including Walt's dream, The Hall Of Presidents. Walt's brother Roy decided to put Walts vision in motion when he started plans to build Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. The original name was going to be "We The People," but Roy thought "The Hall Of Presidents" would be more suiting. The attraction also features poet, Maya Angelou as narrator. The Hall of presidents is one of the many great American symbols the Walt Disney Company has done over the years and it is clearly one of the best.
I hope you enjoy!
