Disney Flag Retreat

The next time you are at Disney World be sure to make your way down to Main Street USA along with any other Vets to enjoy the retiring of the flag for the night.

In this special gesture of appreciation, you can expect the below via the Disney World website.

The pledge is said and trumpet fanfare sounds Retreat. The American flag lowers while the philharmonic plays the “Star Spangled Banner.” Members of the Color Guard remove the flag from the staff and fold it while Guests are lead in a chorus of “God Bless America.”

Then, as a Guest veteran is handed the flag, feel your heart swell with pride. A short procession down Main Street, U.S.A. follows while musicians play a medley of U.S. military songs to conclude the night.

So the next time you’re at Disney set a reminder to join in this coming together of Vets from all over.
