There's also been talk among fans who feel Disney World should remove the attraction entirely.As journalist Ashley Carter , the theme park placed a small sign outside the attraction on Wednesday that reads: "The Hall of Presidents is currently being prepared to welcome the new president."—Ashley Carter (@AshleyLCarter1) It's currently unclear how long it will take for Disney World to create and install an animatronic inspired by Biden. That being said, Disney fans have pointed out that the theme park was much quicker to install the figure of the 46th president than it was when installing the Trump animatronic years prior.—Nadine (@XO_Genny) Though the Hall of Presidents features animatronics of all past presidents, only those representing Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and the incumbent President of the United States give speeches during . As a result, all other animatronics take a backseat.With that in mind, Disney fans have said online that they'd like the Trump animatronic to be "hidden" onstage, or placed behind another president.—Jolene Jensen (@HelloJolene23) —💖SunniApplePie💖 (@SunniApplePie) —justin (@justinwillm) On Twitter, numerous Disney fans said they believe the Trump figure should be removed in response to the former president's handling of the coronavirus, his role in the US Capitol insurrection, and other controversial actions that occurred throughout his time in office.—Chef (@ChefJags) —︽✵︽ Jackie Rogers ︽✵︽ (@JaclynRogers) —Alex (@AL3X_M) However, there are other issues within the Hall of Presidents that wouldn't be resolved by removing the replica of Trump., tensions have risen at the attraction in recent years after animatronics representing George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Trump were installed. In response to upset guests, Disney World installed metal spikes in front of the animatronics and placed security guards on standby in the attraction.&nbsp;The show also honors former presidents who have problematic backgrounds and racist pasts, including 12 former slave owners.That being said, the Orlando Sentinel and some Disney fans say it would be smart for Disney to remove the attraction entirely. After all, Walt Disney "wanted his theme parks to be fantasy lands where people could escape the real world," the Orlando Sentinel wrote — but at the Hall of Presidents, "there's no escaping it."On Twitter, many of these fans seem particularly happy that Trump will no longer have a speaking role in the attraction.—Michele Otero (@otero_michele) —Emma Young (@EmmaNYoung) —Mongo (@Decojuicer)Sign up for notifications from Insider!
