    We will be at Disney world on veterans day. My husband is 100% disabled from the army. We were wondering if Disney is doing anything special to honor them?

    Hiya, Erika! I am so excited to hear you and your husband will be at Walt Disney World Resort on Veterans Day.

    I am a massive fan of the Flag Retreat Ceremony at Magic Kingdom Park. This occurs each day at 5 p.m. in the area on Main Street, U.S.A. just inside the theme park. No matter how often I watch this, it is so moving. I feel chills and so much pride. 

    I asked a Cast Member about plans to commemorate the day. I was told Walt Disney World usually does something extra during the Flag Retreat Ceremony. They also recommended being on the lookout at dusk in that same area. They had no more information, so I can't tell you where to look or what to expect. But now I am very intrigued, and I will watch the Disney Parks social media accounts to see what I have missed.

    I also encourage you to ask a Cast Member at any souvenir shop for a Celebration button. They usually have them and ask, "What are you celebrating?" With the magic of a permanent marker, these pins can be personalized to share news of his military service for everyone to see and appreciate.

    I hope you and your husband have a magical day tomorrow. I am so grateful for his service to our country.

    If you have any other questions as you enjoy vacations at a Disney destination, we would love to see you again at planDisney.

    With a Thankful Heart!
