This is a reconstruction of the original "Hall Of Presidents" program at Disney World that opened with the park in 1971 and ran through 1993 when it was overhauled (not for the better IMO).

I have taken the complete soundtrack from the souvenir LP that was released and used available artwork and stills from the multi-screen film program where possible to offer a different viewing experience from some of the camcorder versions that are also available on YT (which were taken just before the attraction closed in 1993; a couple screen caps from those home videos are used in a few instances). The final segment comes from the "Grand Opening Of Walt Disney World" special in 1971 but since that truncated things a little, some additional stills were added to allow the unedited soundtrack to be retained.

The original program represented a triumph of Disney artistry and a memorable experience to those who visited Disney World in the 70s and 80s. The program narrator is actor Lawrence Dobkin with additional voices by Royal Dano as Abraham Lincoln and Paul Frees as George Washington and Stephen Douglas.
