I'm content to have seen it for the final time a few years ago.
Because I respect the office of the president no matter who sits in the oval office, I will most likely stop by. Hey, the president is the captain of my 'ship. I will be cheering on whomever has that tiresome, stress filled role. I hope we all prosper and the animatronic is a good likeness. "Honor the Office' is my motto and I love that Disney has the Hall of presidents, even if most visitors only go once.
I really don't think the booing is an issue right now. If it was we would hear more about it.My personal opinion is that with our country so divided politically (which it has been for years, imo), it would probably be better just to have Lincoln and perhaps Washington speak. I think Disney made a mistake (not really their fault, but who knew how controversial this would be with all the booing and catcalls?) when they asked the current office holder to record a few words. Unfortunately, many folks just can't handle that without letting their feelings be known.

I get your line of thinking but I also think you're considering their decision to change the line-up as a more modern decision.My personal opinion is that with our country so divided politically (which it has been for years, imo), it would probably be better just to have Lincoln and perhaps Washington speak.

Totally agree. The Magic Kingdom is all about: “Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.”
I saw this show in November, just one week after the election. When the Obama animatronic got up to speak, someone in the audience yelled out, "move over for President Trump!" which elicited some scattered chuckles and some displeased looks. It broke the illusion of the Magic Kingdom as being set apart from current events, if only momentarily. But it was an isolated incident that was clearly inappropriate, performed by one person. I think Disney does a lot to instill a dignified, respectful tone for the HOP. You can't stop everyone from breaking that tone, but I think Disney will monitor and work hard to retain that dignity.
What profanity are you talking about?I did not care for the last update because there was some bad language included, which I found odd, because Disney's park rules state no profanity

I agree with Hisgirl, i go every time i visit MK. I am energized after walking thru the Great Hall, listen to the beautiful singers, and watch the show. I look forward to going again when i return and see our next POTUS take his rightful place with past Presidents.Because I respect the office of the president no matter who sits in the oval office, I will most likely stop by.
