Barack Obama Joins ‘Hall of Presidents’ in Major Makeover

A remarkably lifelike Audio-Animatronics figure of President Barack Obama entered the spotlight in a revised and refreshed Hall of Presidents show when it reopened July 4, 2009 in Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort. The addition of the country’s 44th chief executive is just part of the most significant update to this classic attraction since its 1971 debut in the park’s Liberty Square.

Pulitzer-Prize winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin helped develop the show with Disney Imagineers. In this video they talk about the “Hall of Presidents: A Celebration of Liberty’s Leaders.”
