Quite a few attractions will be CLOSING in Disney World in 2025.
Magic Kingdom
Some attractions will be closing permanently to make way for other offerings, like Tom Sawyer Island, Liberty Square Riverboat, and TriceraTop Spin. But outside of the permanent closures, there will also be a few attractions that close for refurbishment…and now one has been added to the list!
As expected, the Hall of Presidents has now been added to Disney World’s list of upcoming refurbishments. The show will close on January 20th to be updated, and there is currently no reopening date listed.
Hall of Presidents
For those who don’t know, the Hall of Presidents is a show that features animatronics of every single United States president, telling the story of our country’s history. Whenever a new president is elected, the show will close to get updated with the animatronic of that person. The current president’s animatronic is always featured prominently at the front of the stage, and they get a speaking part during the show.
The seal of the United States
This closure will come after two other Magic Kingdom attractions close on January 6th, 2025 — Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Astro Orbiter. The former will be closed until 2026 while the latter will be closed until summer 2025.

January 20
What a coincidence
Poor planning. Why should it take months of closure to install the new president figure. In this case, Disney has the audio animatronic figure already on stage. All they need to do is reprogram his mannerisms to match his new speech. Don’t know why Disney takes so long to install a new president.
Perhaps Disney needs to consider basing pricing on how many attractions are closed. The list for January is starting to get long.
With all the closures I picked the wrong time to visit. Not surprised about the Hall of Presidents. Was expecting it.
They are having to make Biden look less alive. Lol, nah in need of more realistic representation. With such improvements in robotics I hope they spend the money and bring them to life.
