If there is an attraction you would not see in Disneyland Paris, it's surely "The Hall of Presidents". It's why everytime we come to Florida, we don't miss it. Last time in the Magic Kingdom for us was February 26th 2017. The Hall was closed because a new president had been elected in your country. May I know if this attraction is now open again ? And if yes, is President Trump speaking like the formers ones (at least those who could be recorded !!)

As of today, Hall of Presidents is still closed but everything says they are scheduled to reopen prior to the end of the year. And yes, Trump has a talking role similar to the last couple of Presidents.

Thanks Drwadadli very much for your answer. I'm astonished it takes so long for making a new animatronic. I don't remember how long it took in 2001 in the same situation. In May they opned it for the week-end while making the animatronic of GW Bush. And so, at least we could see the majority of this attraction.

I have heard in France that people in the US are destroying sculptures of Confederate genrals, like Lee. I don't know if it's true. But by the way they can change the name of the capital of the USA from Washington to MalcomX City, destroy the Washington and Jefferson monuments in this city because both were slave owners. Destroy also the Mount Rushmore sculptures. And returning to WDW, closing definitively the Hall of Presidents because at least several US presidents , including the two I quoted above were Virginians. So do you think this attraction will open again ?

I do believe this attraction will open again. I think a part of the delay started back when Disney needed to do the update and include the new President. There were a lot of people protesting the fact that Trump became President and that Disney said he was going to have a talking role. I think Disney was trying to figure out what to do to piss off the least amount of people. In deciding what to do, it delayed the updating which in turn allowed the protests and negative thoughts to subside.
I completely agree with you about the sculptures being torn down. I am from Virginia (the capital of the Confederacy) and completely don't understand the destroying of the statues. Those statues are of who we are as a nation and are part of our history and background. I have done some stupid things in my past but I can't go back and erase them. It is obviously a big heated decision over here and I completely DON"T understand it but this forum is not the place to talk about it so I will stop now before I say something I probably shouldn't.

I don't mean to create a political argument here, but it really makes me wonder how they can come up with a full speech from Trump and make it fit the spirit of WDW, between the hate talk, the racism, the xenophobic comments, the misogynist and chauvinist talk... I am actually very intrigued on what they can come up with.
There are more then a few people wondering what Trump will say in his speech....😳.
All I know is this is my Grands favorite “show”...I know, at 6 and 7 that interesting...but, I hope it’s open before their next visit. The Muppets little show didn’t really hold their attention as much.

I've missed the muppets show, but I did read all the jokes about the muppet word and the president...
We have a very own president to mock around too... we're only missing the muppets
I saw this day that the Hall of Presidents not still open. But I have an alternative. Ten minutes by foot from my home in Paris, there is the grave of Marquis of La Fayette (and his wife) who struggled with Washington. He was not president of the USA (as a French subject of king Louis XVIth), but instrumental in the alliance between France and the "Insurgents" for the independance of the American colonies. So it will be a subsidiary and less costly for transportation !!!
As political subject related to Disneyland, things have changed. I have seen on a dvd the inauguration of Disneyland on ABC, 17th of July 1955. There was a TV actor called Ronni Reagan (later twice POTUS) at this inauguration. He asked a small kid at the entrance : "what are you doing to do today ?" Answer of the kid :"I want to go to Frontierland to see Davy Crockett killing the Indians". Now the ugly Indians are called "Friendly Native Americans tribe" in Frontierland. So Disney is adapting to the political correctness.

Probably why it’s taking so long.....they may be waiting to see if he remains a president too
second star to the right and straight on till morning
