Magic Kingdom Flag Retreat Honors Vets!
Despite the fact my father ended up in the hospital at the end of the brief ceremony, the 'Flag Retreat' with guest veteran participation was really a moving ceremony. (Dad suffered heat stroke and at 80... he spent one night but was released next day) They do the flag retreats DAILY with veterans pre-arranged to participate.
If you know of a military veteran going to Magic Kingdom that might enjoy this ceremony, do the following:
Call the WDW info Hotline number at 407/824-2222 and ask for Magic Kingdom City Hall. Tell them the date the veteran you know will be at Magic Kingdom and request them to be the Vet of the Day. Be flexible if that date is already filled.
Guest must be a ticket holder for the park, naturally (nothing is free at Disney!). At the completion of the ceremony, the vet receives a commemorative certificate and a special trading pin that says 'veteran.' |
