Walt Disney World’s Hall of Presidents opened in 1971. The 25-minute show includes audio-animatronic figures of every US president up to President Joe Biden.
If a woman is elected president, the attraction would be updated with its first female leader.
The Walt Disney Company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The National Museum of American History would also update its separate galleries of presidents and first ladies to account for the change.

The National Museum of American History in Washington, DC, features two distinct exhibits about presidential history: “The American Presidency” about US presidents and “The First Ladies” about the various relatives of presidents who have acted as first ladies.
“In some ways, the core of both exhibits is ‘What is this job and how do you do it?'” Graddy said.
Graddy told Business Insider that “The First Ladies” exhibit would undergo the biggest changes if Harris is elected. It would likely be retitled “The First Ladies and Gentlemen,” and Emhoff’s inaugural suit could join the collection of inaugural gowns if he chooses to donate it, a striking transformation for an exhibit dating back to 1912.
“It would be very interesting to see two wall cases filled with dresses and then, in that center case, a tuxedo,” she said.
