Feeling thankful ~ for my 2 new
military families this week! I’ve learned so much about the Disney Armed Forces
Salute – offering qualified service members (or their spouse) both discounted
theme park tickets (up to 6, or more if your immediate family is larger) and
outstanding discounts on up to 3 rooms @ the Disney Resorts (campsites not
included).
I also wanted to share more about
the Magic Kingdom Flag Retreat Ceremony that takes place every day @ 5pm. I
read about it long ago; however in all our trips to WDW, we had never made it
to one. Thankfully, this last trip Jay & I took in Oct, we just happen to
be walking in for Mickey’s Halloween Party and it was starting. The ceremony is
incredibly moving; and, I couldn’t hold back tears while watching and hearing
them lower our flag. It’s now a highlight and something I would recommend for
every family to witness!
For more details I’ll let this beautiful post,
complete with pictures from "Uncle" Bob Elsie, fill you in. However,
please note you can no longer sign up for this at City Hall, the veteran
participant is now selected at random by the Magic Kingdom Entertainment
Department.
Wishing you a magical Sunday ~
Christine
