This was not "Meet Mr. Lincoln" because I do remember that they showed the entire Hall of Presidents, and I also recall that they did a demo of how the animatronics worked (similar to the Tiki Room coverage in one of the Anniversary shows.)

Bill told me the Hall of Presidents was featured on three of the specials, not the regular program, so the shows were in a different chapter of the book:

    1) The Grand Opening of Walt Disney World (10/29/71)
    2) Monsanto Nights Presents Walt Disney's America on Parade (4/3/76) - hosted by Red Skelton
    3) Walt Disney World's 4th of July Spectacular (7/4/88)

    I'm pretty sure it was the first one that I saw.
