Walt Disney World is closed during the coronavirus pandemic, but cast members are making sure the flag at Magic Kingdom is still raised everyday.
Video shared by Walt Disney World Resort President Josh D’Amaro on Instagram shows the security team still on duty at the Magic Kingdom raising the American flag. It’s a traditional they have kept up daily despite the park being empty.
The video shows only the movement of the guards and the flag. Birds are heard in the background. Cinderella Castle stands at the far end of the street. Take a look at the video below:
“While our world looks very different today, one thing endures…the American flag still flies over Walt Disney World,” D’Amaro wrote. “I’m inspired how our Security Cast Members continue to raise it each and every morning at Magic Kingdom while they are on duty protecting the magic. It’s a symbol that we’re still here and will not falter. I hope this inspires you as well. We will be back. Thanks to all our incredible Cast Members who continue to maintain the magic until that day. Until then, please take care of yourselves and your families. We will see you soon.”
Disney World, which has been shut down only a handful of times in its 48-year history, is closed until further notice.
