Hey Alexa, play "Golden Dreams."

After being on hiatus for a year and a half, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln has returned to the Main Street Opera House, running in rotation with Walt Disney – A Magical Life

What’s Happening:

  • Back on April 16th, 2024, the Disneyland classic Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln held its final performance ahead of the Disneyland 70th celebration on April 16th, 2024.
  • At the time, the attraction’s closure seemed to be a general refurbishment, however, debuting on July 17th, 2025, Walt Disney – A Magical Life introduced guests to the first ever Walt Disney animatronic for a brand new show. 

  • Now, for the first time in a year and a half, Abraham Lincoln is once again standing from his chair at the Main Street Opera House. 
  • The attraction returned late last month, as part of the announced show rotation in the Main Street U.S.A. venue. 
  • You can check out a full performance of the returning show below:
