I LOVED Great Moments...Does anyone know when it is coming back??? They are still showing the Steve Martin/Donald Duck 50th Anniversary movie.

I kinda worry they won't bring it back - that they'll use the 50th as an excuse to phase out ol' Honest Abe. I'm sure the thinking goes: if we can get it out of the park for long enough, most people will forget he was even there.

Of course, the last time they tried to ditch Mr. Lincoln (for the Muppets), it turned into a bit of a PR nightmare. One can only hope they learned their lesson.

They should figure out a way to do both. Perhaps during the morning and afternoon hours keep Lincoln and in the evening run new content and update that constantly.

I wish they would bring back Lincoln. The 50th Show is great and all, but the 50th is over. Overall, it's such a great enviroment to relax in and see some cool Disneyland memorabilia - a replica a Walt's office for one. (In the lobby) More people need to check it out! (Assuming of course that Lincoln returns!)

I don't ever remember seeing this and its a shame. I really would love to go see it now that I am a bit older, a bit wiser.

I think they need to bring the American Adventure show from Epcot to Disneyland and incorporate Abe Lincoln into that show with an added scene showcasing him delivering the Gettysburg Address. I would love to see a more elaborate American History show on Main Street, Agree? Disagree? Better ideas?

Bring it baaaack!

I actually think I read on MouseEars that they are. :)

Though I can't find the web page anymore...

I loved that rides audio effects. What an amazing way to make a normally boring ride E-Ticket.

The last time I watched Great Moments with Mr Lincoln was about 15 years ago. I don't recall ever wearing headphones. This was on my list to watch the next time that I am at DL. From what I rememeber it was a good attraction, and now that I am older, I'm sure that I will appreciate it much more.

I went last summer and Lincoln Is Back!!! but there arnt any head phones, but the show it self Is very well done. The only other thing they needed to do was make him walk a little bit.
But if you can I would go see it!

Wow... necropost much? :D

Yeah, they ditched the homo-erotic breathing sessions as Abe whispers sweet nothings in your ear while you're in bed. :D
