They were among 1,000 immigrants from more than 100 countries to become new U.S. citizens during a morning ceremony jointly hosted by Disney Parks and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The citizenship ceremony was part of an Independence Day weekend celebration in the Vacation Kingdom which also saw the re-launch of a revised and refreshed "Hall of Presidents" show. The iconic attraction -- now named "Hall of Presidents: A Celebration of Liberty's Leaders" -- features Audio-Animatronics figures of all U.S. presidents, including a new Audio-Animatronics figure of President Barack Obama. The attraction is reopening to Magic Kingdom guests following an eight-month makeover.
