Dis place was cool, but I mean, yo at Disneyland, so yo should definitely be doing something else while you can. It was nice to get out of the heat, but I couldnt stop thinking about the fact dat I could be somewhere else more awesome in the park.

A very special exhibit and one of the most memorable experiences. Disneys robotics were groundbreaking. The first time I saw Mr. Lincoln, decades ago, it took my breath away. We visited Disneyland recently and were happy to see this is still available to show your kids! Great gallery too. Very inspiring!

This installation was a little underwhelming. First, my girlfriend and I went around 11 PM and it was still so crowded! Even then it was difficult to appreciate the lights since many people were taking pictures. The lights are very beautiful!

When you walk out of Mr. Lincoln you will be filled with great pride and patriotism!

Love this, HOWEVER... there is an American flag on stage with Abe and there is no light to illuminate it. Cant believe Disney would allow something like that to happen. I mentioned something to the 2 workers in the theater. Hopefully they will see that the issue is corrected. Other than that, I LOVE this show. Its a must see in my opinion.

To be honest, I came in here to get off my feet and just sit and veg. Lots to look at before entering the theater itself. My kids were actually impressed with the animatronic Mr. Lincoln as they have only seen animatronics at Chuck E Cheese. A great story filled with history and historical facts. I am so happy I decided to be lazy and sit or else I would have missed this great attraction. Not too many people were lined up here throughout the day. Definitely recommend this attraction...

This is a must see for families.If you have young kids you should bring them here. I think a lot of the experience at the Great Moments show with Mr Lincoln are very important for our youth.This is a really touching and amazing part of disneyland.This show has been around for a long time and is pretty much unchanged.I remember coming here as a kid and was in total awe.

Underrated attraction and I cant believe I missed this during my first visit, but I wouldnt be surprised if this attraction closed due to trivial reasons. Still, I would recommend this place

Classic Disney. The stuff your kids make fun of you for wanting to go to but the stuff that makes Disneyland Disneyland.

Save this for last, its a pretty empty item. If you like history this will be a fun stop.

Its very refreshing and interesting to learn history. It has a very realistic Abraham Lincoln animatronic that when his mouth moved, it scared me for a bit! The attraction is only about 15 minutes. Plus, while waiting you get to see historical paintings and the building is connected to a museum of inspirational icons, and the early stages of Disneyland coming to be

AMAZING 20-Minute multimedia theater production featuring one of the world’s most advanced and lifelike human audio-animatronics! Tells the story of President Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War told by Paul Frees (the narrator) and Royal Dano (the voice of Mr. Lincoln). Originally built for the 1964 New York World’s Fair and duplicated at Disneyland a year later in 1965. Updated in 1975, 2001, and 2009, with new Lincoln audio-animatronic(s) and improved projection effects. One of the greatest theme park theater productions I’ve ever seen... Epic (and surprisingly emotional) grand finale! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Great place to take a 20 minute break. Also a great place to learn about one of our great presidents. The lifelike Lincoln was pretty remarkable. Worth seeing

Great moments with Mr. Lincoln was pretty awesome. I enjoyed my moments at Disneyland Anaheim Ca. I just wished that it wasnt too expensive and if you purchased a two day or three day pass etc. That you can go at any time. Not 13 days after if you use just part of your pass. If for some reason the guest member/members can go in those 13 days you forfeit all of those hard earned dollars...not very convenient for the guest. With all of Disneys creativity this should be a priority in order for the guest not to feel rushed or taken for a very expensive ride.

Its not the most thrilling of attractions at the park, it it is a classic, allowing you to hear Mr. Lincoln give perhaps one of the most famous speeches in American history. There is no real queue, rather a waiting room. Even if you dont want to sit through Mr. Lincoln I would suggest still checking out the waiting room. Its filled with Disneyland memorabilia dating back to the opening days, and the room is easy to get in and out of, so youre not committing to the attraction if you dont want to see it.

I grew up at Disneyland and had visited Great Moments with Mr Lincoln each visit. With each visit I was always Amazed and Proud walking out of the Lincoln Theater. I wanted to recapture the feeling again by trying to see if it might be out on the Internet. To my Surprise and Joy it was. Like most things with time they change. Mainly Mr Lincoln himself and the Speech. The Speech I have never heard before I know the Original did not include suicide any where in it. I was shocked. Although this may be authentic in its Text I never less was shocked it was in the Presentation and that Walt Disney Family allowed it. I had planned to share it with my Fellow Veterans I thought they would enjoy it . But how could I now even though the Bulk of the show was Truly Amazing! Sincerely and Respectively Disappointed

Somehow Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln became a Disneyland tradition for my family. For years now, it has been the very last thing we do before leaving the park. Its a nice way to unwind and/or doze off after a busy day. Its also a great retreat from the massive crowd on Main Street after a fireworks show. Only a handful of people are ever in this theater...even during peak hours. Watch the corny movie then marvel at the lifelike realism of anamatronic Abe!

Essential Disneyland and the very essence of Disneyland: Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. I am so glad they returned to the 1964 (albeit enhanced) version; the headphone version just didnt meet the originals spirit or dignity. Waits are never long and the waiting area is full of interesting Disney items to pass the time.

This is a classic Disney show, and is a great place to cool off on a hot day. Its also nice to teach kids a little about American history. The Lincoln animatronic is still in pretty great condition.

Review №24

Really interesting place to visit. While waiting for the next show you can see many really cool artifacts like a sculpture of the white house, a model of disneyland and the actual bench Walt Disney sat on and thought of Disneyland. The animatronic Lincoln is so articulate and all his movements are so flowy, a really enjoyable sight to see.

The show is classic Disney, but pales in comparison to the Hall of Presidents in WDW. But the real cool stuff is the history of Disneyland park thats in the lobby while waiting for the show to start.

I love watching the animatronic Lincoln. I was very young when I first saw him. It is always a treat for me to see the show and to watch the movies and read the plaques in the waiting area.

People make fun of this show but I adore it. The animatronics are a bit creaky but the content is awesome.

Review №35

OK its probably really, really, really boring for your average 5-29 year old, but I enjoy the showcase of animatronics with Disney helped develope. This is also the place where you can view special showings of Disney movies that are celebrating a milestone (anniversaries, new Blu Ray, etc...) if you are an Annual Passholder.

Great Presidents Show. Sometimes are used for special events!

A Disney classic featuring an extremely lifelike recreation of the famous President himself. Might be a bit boring for younger audiences.

The manikin of Mr. Lincoln leaned over so far to the right that when it sat down the audience gasped in fear as the chair tipped a couple inches off the ground! Someone working the show may want to watch it each morning.
