Pros: great piece of history, technology and a good lesson for younger kids.
Cons: a bit dated, and too much of a "lesson" for most teens to enjoy.
Summary: Yes, this attraction is a bit dated...Yes, some kids may fall asleep or cry because they "must go" to this...No, don't skip it because it's not "up to your Disney World 'standards'" of a thrill. We had been to Magic Kingdom 4 times and never had ... read more

Pros: History, and relaxation.
Cons: A little bit of cheese, and many people don't have the proper respect.

Pros: Excellent stage set-up - much attention to detail, fun, AIR CONDITIONED!
Cons: Not for little, little kids, don't follow too seriously
Summary: The Hall of Presidents was the first thing my family and I did in the Magic Kingdom. We went to Disney right in August, and it was HOT! Going for a show in the "White House" was a smart move. The whole family had a great time! (If you want to do the ... read more

Pros: Unbelievable audio-animatronics; moving message
Cons: Not for the youngest set

Pros: incredible detail shown for each president, cool and relaxing
Cons: boring movie at the beginning

Pros: great audiotronics
Cons: none
Summary: I loved the Hall of Presidents. It may seem alittle corny to some people but I felt moved to shed a few tears when the President's spoke. I got a big kick out of the Clinton robot.
This is a living American history lesson. The show comes ... read more

Pros: Good history lesson that is entertaining at the same time.
Cons: None

Pros: stirring
Cons: glossy
Summary: The Hall of Presidents is pure Walt. Mr. Disney was a patriot ("America, right or wrong", and "Love it or leave it") and a student of history. The Hall of Presidents is more a memorial to him than a historical commentary. ... read more

Pros: great if it is raining
