The Hall of Presidents features Audio Animatronic versions of every president of the United States from George Washington onwards, and it's more interesting for its detail than anything else. The 25 minute show starts with a multi-screen presentation about the history of the U.S. Constitution, and its importance to the United States, from the time it was drawn up to the current time. Then, each of the 43 audio animatronic presidents is introduced in turn, and takes a bow on-stage, with Abraham Lincoln and George W. Bush being the only two to having speaking parts. Part of the rest of the presentation derives from the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair exhibit "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln". The costumes that are worn by the audio animatronic figures not only show the styles that were evident during the time that each of the respective presidents was in power, but each costume is also tailored using fabrics and techniques from the particular time period as well.
