Hey there Jake,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you so much for your question!
The Walt Disney Company has a rich tradition of honoring veterans, the military, and their families throughout the company's history. Each year, the Disney Parks take Memorial Day as a gentle reminder to pause and reflect on the sacrifices made by fallen U.S. military heroes in service to our country.
While there hasn't been any official news about this year's commemoration activities, you can see ways the company has honored veterans on the Disney Parks Blog for both
2023 and
2022. One feature of both years is the Missing Hero table to honor American military members who gave their lives in service to the country or went missing in action.
My top recommendation besides the
Disney Parks Blog to see how Memorial Day will be honored this year is the
Daily Events Schedule on the Disneyland Resort website. You can use the "Change Date" button near the top left to select your date, but note that this schedule is released about six weeks out so you'll need to wait until we get a bit closer to Memorial Day to see that day's schedule.
Once the schedule is available, you'll be able to see what events and entertainment is planned for that day. Additionally, you can also catch the Flag Retreat Ceremony as well during your visit.
Thanks again for your question, Jake! I hope you have a great visit to the Disneyland Resort.
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
