Hall of Presidents rehab extended?

[disneyland_is_magic]

Well heck, I wish Disney would put this much thought, concern and weight into not upsetting fans before ripping beloved attractions ala TOT in DL.

In spite of a warning by rteetz, the political comments have continued (and have also been removed).

Last chance to discuss the topic or have the thread closed.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

I don't care how they go about it, be it have him talk, or not talk, I just want to see the Hall Of Presidents when I visit in August

Seems quite rational. I hope you get to see it.

Given the intense political nature of our current country reverting it back to the older program may be a wise choice.

 

[rstevens333]

Yeah, the older version of the show might be the best bet right now.

I really like the idea of there being some kind of random element so you can catch different versions of the show. Wish they'd do that for the Country Bears, too!

The only problem with the random element is how much programming and upkeep that would require

I want the president to talk

 

[McKelly]

I was hoping this was open in July. It was one of the A/C breaks I planned!

If they decide not to have Trump talk for whatever reason, they need to keep it that way for the next presidents and not flip-flop depending who's in office.

Again, I think it would be much better and beneficial to everyone to have past presidents speak that we're part of a significant point in American history. Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt and Kennedy being some options

A random element is cool in theory but I can imagine that going haywire quite easily

I hope President Trump makes his recording, so I can bring my children to HOP in August during our yearly trip!!!!! Looking forward to it.

According to Blog Mickey on Twitter, a CM standing outside Hall of Presidents said that the attraction would re-open "sometime in September". If this is the case, the refurb will be 2-3 months extended from its original re-opening date ...

They have to get the hair *just* right.

FWIW, there is a thread on Disboards already about this. Disney is claiming that they are having difficulty getting the President to record a speech for his anamatronic counterpart. That could have something with the possible delay.

I had a feeling this might be a problem. I don't know why but I saw this as a very low on the totem pole thing for Trump right now and couldn't see him taking the time to get it done.

Me too! I'm going in November and it's one of the things I'm most looking forward too. We were disappointed in January that it wasn't ready but we knew it would take some time.

Sorry - I meant for him not to speak. Of course he needs to be represented. I should have clarified that end part there. I don't think he should speak, I agree we should go back to just Lincoln & Washington. Keep it historical rather than political.

Not me. I don't think they should go changing it now to cater to the disrespectful. JMO That's not right in any way.

I agree. Changing it now would clearly appear as a political statement.

Is there any updates if President Trump was added to the attraction yet?

 

[yulilin3]

It's supposed to open by July 4th.
