Walt Disney World’s Hall of Presidents has reopened to the public after months of refurbishment, offering park-goers a firsthand look at the animatronic version of PresidentJoe Biden.

Aviator sunglasses are a mainstay in the president’s wardrobe, becoming almost shorthand for Biden himself. (As he toldthe Skimmin 2016, “My lord, I’ve been wearing aviators since I was a freshman in college as a lifeguard.")

Each time a new president assumes office, a new animatronic figure is added to the Disney attraction, which has been at the company’s Florida park since it opened in 1971.

The attraction, located in the Liberty Square area of the Magic Kingdom, was closed for nearly a year before theaddition of the Donald Trump audio-animatronic figure. After closing three days before Trump’s Januaryinauguration, the attraction was scheduled to reopen in late June, in time for the Fourth of July.

After their term has ended, the figures of former presidents remain on stage near those who have previously served, meaning Trump (who did not attend his successor’s inauguration in real life) will appear alongside Biden at the most magical place on Earth.
