Step into one of the most historic attractions in all of Disneyland Park when you visit the Disneyland Story presenting Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. Walt Disney’s fascination with Abraham Lincoln led to this, the first Audio-Animatronics version of the former president back in 1964, and the show has been a staple at Disneyland since 1965. 

Note: At the 2024 D23 Expo, Disney announced that Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln will be paused for a new show titled “Walt Disney – A Magical Life,” based on the life of Walt Disney. Eventually, this new show will play in rotation with Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.

Is The Disneyland Story presenting Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln Kid-Friendly?
