Magic Kingdom Events for September 11
Last December, President Bush signed a joint resolution of Congress designating September 11 as Patriot Day. In order to commemorate this day, the Magic Kingdom Park will be hosting several events.
• The Main Street, U.S.A. Train Station and Town Square will be decorated with red, white, and blue decor.
• At sunrise, all flags will be raised to full staff and then lowered to half staff.
• At 8:00 a.m., the Cast of the Magic Kingdom Park are invited to the unveiling of a memory box given to us from a Guest after 9/11. It will take place at the apex (outside the Mouse Pad and across from the Character Zoo) of the tunnel and Phil Holmes and a WDW Ambassador will be present to share it with all of us.
• At 12 noon, there will be a moment of silence throughout the Park. Guests will be notified of the moment of silence through announcements made in the morning and A-frames outside some of the attractions. Guests will be encouraged to go to Tomorrowland, Frontierland, and Main Street, U.S.A. to participate in the moment. It will consist of a 30-second announcement including a greeting, several seconds of silence, and a transition to a 75-second recording of God Bless America. During this time, several attractions will cycle down or will hold their dispatch or start times:
• WDW Railroad
• Main Street Vehicles
• Horse-drawn trolleys
• The Magic Carpets of Aladdin
• Jungle Cruise
• Big Thunder Mountain
• Splash Mountain
• Frontierland Shootin' Arcade
• Cinderella's Golden Carrousel
• Dumbo the Flying Elephant
• Mad Tea Party
• Tomorrowland Indy Speedway
• Astro Orbiter
• Tommorowland Transit Authority
• The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm
• Liberty Square Riverboat
• The Hall of Presidents
• Tom Sawyer Island
• The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
• Peter Pan's flight
• Snow White's Scary Adventure
• At 5:30 pm, there will be an enhanced flag retreat at
Town Square with an emcee introducing the events and the Voices of Liberty performing patriotic music.
In addition to the events, Cast Members are invited to wear their Cast exclusive commemorative pin received on September 5 with paychecks. The pin is a gift from the Walt Disney Company to say thank you for helping people in need nationally and locally since the attack on America on September 11. This pin can be worn only on September 11 and should be worn on the right side of your costume. It should not be placed on a pin lanyard or traded with our Guests as it is not a Disney pin.
Please join us in our activities commemorating this day.
