Theme Park Rangers get new details on Hall of Presidents

Dwayne Bevil with the Orlando Sentinel's Theme Park Rangers blog managed to get a sneak peek of the new Hall of Presidents set to officially open July 4. According to Bevil, the preshow area has been re-done and will feature dresses from three First Ladies. Also, the opening film, now narrated by Morgan Freeman, has been shortened and the animatronic segment has been extended. "That's what they [park guests] come to see," Eric Jacobson, Sr. VP for Walt Disney Imagineering told Bevil.

Jacobson also noted that the new animatronic of President Obama is the most advanced figured Imagineering ever has done.

This Sunday (June 28), annual passholders and DVC members will get a sneak peek of the full show. I'm planning to be at this sneak preview. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some photos, but I'm not sure if any photography will be allowed.
