Lots of people are freaking out about The Hall of Presidents at Walt Disney World
If you’ve ever been to Disney World in Orlando, Florida, you know that you that you’re going to do lots of walking, it will be very hot, and after a while you’re going to need to take a break and maybe take a nap. When it’s time sit down for a while, if you’re in the Magic Kingdom you’re going to b-line to Liberty Square’s Hall of Presidents. It’s an 23-minute attraction, perfect for nap time sitting back and relaxing for a little bit. It also offers a huge douse of American history, because every sitting president is inside, recreated via audio-animatronic!
And with the 2016 Presidential Election now done and over with (*breathes huge sigh of relief*) it now means that Disney has to get started on constructing a new robot of President Elect Donald Trump.
All along, in the back of our Disney-phile minds, we had been quietly worrying thinking about the prospect of Trump in the Hall of Presidents (or, as it’s known around Magic Kingdom, “HoP”). Now, it is in fact a reality, and for many it is a hard one to swallow.
The Hall of Presidents will close on Jan. 17 for refurbishments and an animatronic of Donald Trump will be added. It will reopen by July 4.

As if you couldn’t already tell where this is going, many on the internet (most of them die-hard Disney fans) aren’t, as one might say, on board with this idea.
I just can't get my mind around Donald Trump having an animatronic in The Hall Of Presidents at The Magic Kingdom in DisneyWorld😂👍🏻🍕 pic.twitter.com/MMM6K6dmE4

Think about how sad the Disney imagineers are right now realizing they'll have to sculpt a Trump for the Hall of Presidents

Trump is going to have elementary schools and parks named after him and a fucking wax figure in the hall of presidents. This is surreal

Because, like, do we even ~need~ the Hall of Presidents?
… we don't really need a Hall of Presidents, right?

Hey Disney, we need to talk about this whole Hall of Presidents thing.

Alright, so, can Disney World just remove the hall of presidents now? Replace it with a roller coaster or something? Thanks! <3
