Preview footage released Monday by Walt Disney Parks & Resorts shows Trump standing center stage, surrounded by his predecessors as he addresses the audience.

"From the beginning, America has been a nation defined by its people," he can be heard saying in the short clip.

In keeping with decades of tradition, Trump himself recorded his voiceover for the attraction.

The Hall of Presidents features animatronic representations of every chief executive who has served the country. Behind the presidents sits a panoramic, 180-degree screen that shows guests two centuries of moments that defined America.

Outside of the main theatre, an Oval Office-inspired lobby features information about the history of the attraction and the technology used to build it.
