What it is

The classic Opera House show featuring an Audio-Animatronics Abraham Lincoln delivering excerpts of his speeches, a direct descendant of Walt's 1964 World's Fair breakthrough, preceded by a film about Lincoln's life. It plays on a daily split schedule with Walt Disney – A Magical Life (typically mornings in fall 2026), and the lobby holds The Disneyland Story exhibit, including a model of the park on opening day.

How to do it right

  • Check the app: it shares the Opera House with Walt Disney – A Magical Life and usually plays only part of the day (mornings in fall 2026)
  • A piece of living Disney history: this is the technology lineage that led to every animatronic in the park
  • Almost never a wait, walk in, sit down, cool off

Best time to ride

  • Midday
  • Whenever it's in the rotation

Photo spots

  • Opera House facade
  • Lobby memorabilia

Accessibility

  • You can stay in your wheelchair or ECV
