But now Walt Disney World has also released details on upgrades the long-standing attraction will receive when it reopens later this year.
The Hall of Presidents will receive a “broad range of enhancements,” according to Disney, as an entirely “new show.”
This includes a “complete theater upgrade” which includes “a new sound system, lighting, and high-definition projection system.” We will continue to receive the “multi-screen viewing experience” that’s been part of the attraction for many years, but now the attraction’s story will offer a “wider vantage point of our country’s history.”
Since the last update to the Hall of Presidents when Obama has added eight years ago, the attraction was criticized for featuring only a small cross-section of US history. Now it seems when it returns later this year, not only will we receive a new presidential speech, but also a much broader look at how far we’ve come as a country.
The Hall of Presidents has been announced to open in late 2017.
