    Does WDW still salute Veterans by selecting a Veteran of the Day? If yes, how would one go about nominating a Veteran?

    Hi Michael 

    The Flag Retreat Ceremony is one of my favorite magical moments at Magic Kingdom Park.  The ceremony still takes place on most days. In my experience, the selection process for those participating in the ceremony can vary from day-to-day.  

    There are two different ways we've seen the process take place: 1. Cast Members may look for veterans or military members wearing military hats/shirts at the gates prior to park opening and approach those guests to ask them if they'd like to participate in the ceremony later that day. 2. We've also headed straight to Guest Relations at City Hall inside the park at opening and asked if there were spots available for the afternoon ceremony.

    My suggestion is to arrive at the parks early and head straight to City Hall Guest Relations when the park opens to inquire about that day's Flag Retreat Ceremony. 

    Please let me know if you have any other questions, Michael.
