After a year-long transformation, The Hall of Presidents reopened Tuesday at Walt Disney World Resort's Magic Kingdom Park in Orlando.
One of the biggest changes for 2017 and beyond was the addition of current United States President Donald J. Trump.
Using the most modern advances in technology, Trump's audio-animatronics figure features smoother and more lifelike movements, as well as personally recorded remarks exclusively for the attraction.
In addition to updating the show's content and showcasing the new President Trump animatronic, Disney has incorporated the latest in theatrical design, technology and security precautions.
While most of the presidents in the display look just like the men they represent, Trump's figure has caused quite a stir online from people who don't see the likeness:

Using a panoramic 180-degree screen, the Magic Kingdom also showcases some of the most important moments in American history with the help of high-impact projection, sound, lighting and other enhancements.
The theatrical production honoring the presidents of the United States was envisioned by Walt Disney himself, and the first presidential animated figure (Abraham Lincoln) was designed for the 1964-65 New York World's Fair.
In 1971, technological advances finally allowed Disney Imagineers to bring the vision to life by including every president.
