Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln
|
|
The likeness of Abraham Lincoln was
the first fully functioning audio animatronic human figure designed by Disney
Imagineers for the 1964 World's Fair. In this presentation, he stands, speaks
and gestures realistically. In the original show, his speech was actually a
composite of several speeches he gave during his presidency. Great Moments with
Mr. Lincoln made it's debut at the Illinois Pavilion at the 1964 World's Fair,
appearing with other Disney attractions such as
The Carousel of Progress,
It's a Small
World, and The Ford Pavilion's Magic Skyway (this would later become The
Primeval World, visible from the Disneyland Railroad). You can listen to the
previous version of the attraction below, along with the Golden Dream
underscore and Finale.
The Foyer, which has recently undergone a major refurbishment, features a
tribute to Walt Disney, featuring photos and a short film. There are also
various exhibits and displays featuring Walt Disney memorabilia.
