Last week's question:
Who was the president of the United States when the Hall of Presidents opened at Walt Disney World?
Answer: Richard Nixon
The 37th President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon served from 1969 to 1974. Prior to being elected President, he was Vice President under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Nixon was on hand to help Walt Disney at the ribbon cutting ceremony to launch the Monorail system at Disneyland.
Richard Nixon (far right) and his family help Walt Disney (far left) cut the ribbon to launch the Monorail system at Disneyland in 1959.
Did you know: Walt and his wife Lillian Disney were personal friends of Richard Nixon? In fact, Walt had a special fondness for heads of state – Abraham Lincoln was a childhood hero of Walt's and for a school project Walt recited part of the Gettysburg Address. Eventually Walt's affection for American history would result in many Disney Theme Park attractions with historic themes, like The Hall of Presidents at the Magic Kingdom and The American Adventure at EPCOT.
Abraham Lincoln was the very first human audio-animatronics figure ever produced by Walt Disney Imagineering, it was completed for the 1964 New York World's Fair and the Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln exhibit.
