All, can we please tread carefully on this one in the interest of common theme park fandom? I'd hate to see this topic get locked.
Hall of Presidents quietly reopened today. The thread is open for responses, but will closes quickly if things stray into political territory. Keep it on the attraction.
Trump actually looks almost like himself this time:
I believe they normally reskin the animatronic that has the fluid movement. So for example, just over the last few years, that would mean Obama --> Trump --> Biden, all being the same animatronic, just with a different outer skin.Glad I can go see this again. Did they do a whole new Trump AA, or just a reskin?
How does this square with the rumor that Trump's misshapen face was a result of them expecting an HRC win? Or was that nonsense?I believe they normally reskin the animatronic that has the fluid movement.

The outgoing president I believe gets a new body with limited movement, meaning they have to sculpt a new facial skin, so they were able to sort of fix up Trump a bit in that process from what he looked like before.
They start creating a sculpt of both nominees before the election even happens I believe, so I think that that was just complete misinformation.How does this square with the rumor that Trump's misshapen face was a result of them expecting an HRC win? Or was that nonsense?
Hall of Presidents was literally just altered. Like, reopened today. They had a chance to get rid of it or turn it into The Muppets or whatever, but they stayed course.This is the quietest I’ve ever seen Disney do anything. There’s big announcements for new cupcakes! And yet HoP opens with a new AA and it’s crickets.
As part of Disney’s rumored set of alterations they’re making to the older rides, I hope HoP goes. I don’t really want to think about anything remotely political when I’m on vacation.
Especially when I know there are some crazy people out there who are going to do dumb things in the show and in the parks in order to become a viral YouTube star

Yeah, by cutting the speech it cuts a minute of generic Presidential speak out of the equation and then there's nothing to be controversial about because all they are reciting is the Oath of Office. They went from a 90 second speaking part with Obama and Trump to exactly 20 seconds with Biden by only doing the Oath of Office.I think Disney shortening the current president’s speech, they nailed how to handle this moving forward.
