What an incredible contribution this video is. The message the Walt Disney Company is putting out with this show - including the Lincoln - Douglas pre-show story - is hugely relevant today... and now it can be shared on social media. Thank you!
As a little kid, my brother became obsessed with the American Civil War and Abraham Lincoln; those fascinations have stayed with him through numerous scholarly articles to this day. But in many ways it was seeing Great Moments with Mr Lincoln solidified his enduring love.
Unpopular opinion, this is a must do for me every visit to Disneyland. We live in Northern CA and only visit once or twice a year but it is a must do for sure!
I go on it all the time. Its also great to go on in the summer when its hot and they blast the air on. Very relaxing way to watch the show, cool down, and get refreshed.
I came across the country to see this show at Disneyland. I hope they never touch this, it will always be less dated than the Hall of Presidents which seems won't keep up with the number much longer.
Documentary Disney, I don’t know how to thank you!❤️ My Mom retired from Disney years ago and Moments with Mr. Lincoln has always been her absolute favorite. I just sent her your beautiful footage and I know she’ll just love it! You are THE BEST!!!💝
Fantastic job documenting this attraction! I have been trying to find other ways to get in contact directly. Would I have your permission to use a few 10 second clips in an upcoming video about Disneyland? There would be no audio from the video, and there would be an on-screen credit with your profile pic and channel name. I could also link to this video in the description of my video as well. Thanks in advance - Jack
At @23:06 "Muller's Landing" is actually the Disneyland Railroad Freight Station next to the New Orleans Frontierland Railroad Station (which is a copy of the station used in the Disney movie "So Dear To My Heart").
Every time I visit Disneyland I have to check and see if that Captain EO poster is still there at the exit but it’s been a couple years since my last visit, so that was a nice surprise 💜 always love your videos!
Very nice job of capturing the essence of this attraction! On family visits to the park, growing up, Dad made sure that Lincoln was always the first stop of the day. Former Imagineer Josh Shipley headed up the show's revision with the creation of a new, more advanced Audio Animatronic figure in 2010...breathing new life and renewed interest in the show. Since then, more changes have been made, and I only wish that Lincoln's full original speech by actor Royal Dano was still included. There are notable sections that have been cut, either for time or editorial reasons. I still hear them in my head to this day. Thank you, Walt, for your boundless creativity that continues to inspire us all.
Thanks for the great close up footage! Seems like Lincoln is due for a a 1000 animatronic. I think it's trying too hard to show everything"it can do", which is not very realistic.
Wow. This just might be the best video of the show on the internet. Thank you thank you thank you for this gorgeous video. This is my favorite thing on Disney property, no doubt. Thank you.
