Walt Disney World's Hall of Presidents attraction reopened on June 29, 2025, after being closed since January 20, the day of President Donald Trump's inauguration. The reopening featured an updated animatronic figure of Trump, which is now positioned center stage and includes new audio capabilities. Notably, the Trump animatronic recites the presidential oath of office and has undergone a visual facelift. This update marks the return of Trump's figure to the exhibit, which had been absent since the attraction's closure earlier in the year. The reopening was quietly implemented by Disney and coincided with the lead-up to the July 4th holiday. Separately, Disney World announced plans to close several iconic attractions at Magic Kingdom starting July 7, 2025, to make way for a new themed land, including updates to rides such as the Walt Disney World Railroad and the introduction of a new verse for the “It’s a Small World” ride.
