The Hall of Presidents reopened today at Walt Disney World with President Joe Biden taking center stage as the new president of the United States of America.

With a quiet unannounced opening at midday, the show remains the same as before with the new film that was introduced 4 years ago, followed by an introduction of all the presidents in audio-animatronic form.

Breaking from recent tradition, this new version does not include a speech from President Biden himself, just a brief introduction and oath of office.

I assumed Disney was informing the public that Former President Trump was being repositioned from the spot occupied by the current President. I found it not at all interesting.

There are plenty of Biden/HoP videos out there. Don't know why people think the vloggers aren't on top of it. Maybe it's only their favorite bloggers they follow who have failed to cover it.

Same. It’s funny that the people that don’t like the vloggers always know to the second what each has or has not posted a video about!

I mean. Take the hat off. And we're in the ballpark. (Or put the hat on - and we're still there.)

Agreed. I literally have no idea who practically every one of those folks are or their websites or whatever. And I feel like I’m pretty knowledgeable about the parks and the goings on. They are pretty easy to ignore if you y’know ignore them

"Whad up homies, it's ya boi, #1 PRESIDENT of the Diz Vloggers, XtraMickey4Less!" "You heard what my guy Biden said, SMASH DAT LIKE BUTTON!"

I wish I had a dollar every time vloggers were mentioned on this forum. Why are y’all obsessed with them 😂

Jackie from super enthused did a vlog on it I believe.

The Grand InquisitorAug 08, 2021

I wonder if Tim Tracker might cover it. He covers a lot of the new parks stuff from Disney to Universal. He also covered the show in 2017 when former President Trump was added.

I noticed none of these Disney vloggers covered the reopening of HOP. They always have the fear of missing out syndrome so they always want to be the first on everything happening in the parks.

I'll take anything without IP characters right now.

Well, he wasn't taking the oath of office in the show, he was merely reciting it. That said, I don't like the looks of someone that is just standing there with their arms straight down and hands opened up. It seems uncomfortable as well as unnatural. Biden strikes me as someone that would have at least one hand in his pocket. But that is a small point.

its an improvement and right now i’ll take any improvements at WDW and tag them in the win column

Except for the arm positions. Right hand is supposed to be raised while taking an oath. That said, I thought the Ray-Ban Aviators on the table beside Biden were a nice touch!
