Due to its popularity, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln was one of the attractions considered for inclusion in (yet unopened) Walt Disney World. Instead of recreating the attraction however, Imagineers decided to revisit the One Nation Under God concept. In the time between Walt’s original idea, and the creation of Disney World, technology had improved to the point that creating Audio Animatronic figures for every President was possible. Furthermore, the Magic Kingdom also had the space available for such a large stage to be created. Renaming the attraction the Hall of Presidents, the show opened with the rest of the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971. The Hall, along with the Country Bear Jamboree and the Mickey Mouse Revue, was one of the three unique (not from Disneyland) attractions that opened with the Magic Kingdom.
Since it opened the Hall of Presidents has undergone a series of changes. For starters, every President since Gerald Ford has subsequently been added to the attraction <ref name "dated"/>. The first major change however came in 1993 with the election of President Bill Clinton. At this time, the attraction was given a new script that focused more on slavery and civil rights, a new narrator Maya Angelo, new scenes, and a new speech that was read by President Clinton.
