Walt Disney was a proud patriot, and evidence of this can be seen all throughout the Disney parks. However, the biggest celebration of patriotism is within Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square. Liberty Square is an idealized version of America’s past, and is home to several unique attractions and entertainment as well as delicious dining opportunities. Liberty Square is one of the more unique lands within Magic Kingdom. Join us as we explore it together!
Attractions
The Hall of Presidents– Walt Disney appreciated American history, and The Hall of Presidents makes this apparent with its intriguing way of educating via storytelling. Audio-animatronics of all of the nation’s presidents take the stage to tell the story of America in their own words. The show lasts approximately 25 minutes.
The Haunted Mansion– This classic Disney attraction showcases some great Imagineering and storytelling. From the moment you step into the Haunted Mansion’s queue you are completely immersed in the attraction. Guests will board their ride vehicles and journey through the home of 999 “happy haunts”. While there is no violence or gore during this attraction, young guests might still be frightened by the dark and spooky atmosphere.
