Following the Presidential inauguration, The Hall of Presidents has closed for refurbishment at the Magic Kingdom.
What’s Happening:
- The Hall of Presidents temporarily closed on January 20th, and is expected to reopen later in 2025.
- That closure date also marked Inauguration Day in the U.S., where Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President.
- This marks the first time in the history of the Walt Disney World attraction that a previous President has returned for a non-consecutive second term.
- The version of the show featuring former President Joe Biden had its last performance on January 19th.
- At this time, it’s unconfirmed whether Disney will simply use the prior version of the show that ran during Trump’s first term, or if a new version will be created.
- For that version of the show, Trump recorded the oath of office and a speech concluding the show – an element which was removed for the Biden update.
- Of course, there is already an animatronic of Trump, so another will not have to be created.
