The flags at Disney aren't magic, nor are they in a bubble. Disney is required to follow protocol and flag codes when the US flag is decreed to be lowered to half-staff.Disney runs the countries pavilions, what is allowed and what is not, not the nation. Disney has always been hesitant to address death. They don’t want to have morbid things to filter into any aspect of WDW. Even Big Red was removed because of this.
Yes, and on 9/12/2001, the Queen broke protocol, and had the Star Spangled Banner played out of respect and solidarity for us…there’s NO reason a subdued tribute couldn’t be done.Why? America rightfully fought a war for the right to be free citizens instead of subjects.
That hasn’t been the only year. It occurred a year ago on the 20th anniversary also.Yes, and on 9/12/2001, the Queen broke protocol, and had the Star Spangled Banner played out of respect and solidarity for us…there’s NO reason a subdued tribute couldn’t be done.
Lies. Captain EO tribute.She is deserving of a tribute but Disney typically stays away from anything related to a death.
Also that were remembered, 67 Brits who lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks.Yes, and on 9/12/2001, the Queen broke protocol, and had the Star Spangled Banner played out of respect and solidarity for us…there’s NO reason a subdued tribute couldn’t be done.
There is only 1 real US flag in WDW and that's in the square on Main Street. That's the only flag that should be required to follow protocol.The flags at Disney aren't magic, nor are they in a bubble.

Except you are in World Showcase. One would expect the representing nation to do something.
Yep, I'm very disappointed that 'something' couldn't be done. This is not any old queen/king...this is someone who has dedicated 70 years to their country and led the way around the world. Someone of the likes the world will NEVER see again and someone who should be acknowledged.In the past they have done subtle nods to acknowledge somber current events. When the 2015 Paris attacks occured, they lit the Eiffel Tower in red, white, and blue. The night of Pulse, the lighting on the American Adventure was dimmed. There is no reason they couldn't do something similar for the passing of her Majesty.
Exactly. You’re in the UK Pavilion. The least they could do is honour (yes UK spelling), Her Majesty the Queen. I’m not there so wouldn’t know. Maybe they did.Yeah, I expected something. Yes, I know ow Disney stay away from that sort of thing but it's a pretty big death and a situation that will never happen again.
Well, we walked through it last night and tonight and nothing, sadly.Exactly. You’re in the UK Pavilion. The least they could do is honour (yes UK spelling), Her Majesty the Queen. I’m not there so wouldn’t know. Maybe they did.
I guess the official US flag was at half staff out front per US flag protocol. Too bad they couldn’t be bothered to do something at the UK pavilion.Well, we walked through it last night and tonight and nothing, sadly.
Expanded…Found in a FB group I’m in. If Disney can’t do it, leave it to the guests.View attachment 665628

Cast members had makeshift memorials to remember one of their own who was killed at the Orlando Pulse nightclub in 2016.In the past they have done subtle nods to acknowledge somber current events. When the 2015 Paris attacks occured, they lit the Eiffel Tower in red, white, and blue. The night of Pulse, the lighting on the American Adventure was dimmed.

OK sorry, there is 1 official flag at each park, the rest as your article states do not need to follow flag protocol.No

Walt Disney Theme Park’s American Flags - Military Disney Tips
Walt Disney was a proud American, who not only embraced, but exemplified the American Spirit of Exceptionalism. This is evident still today with attractions like The Hall of Presidents and the American Adventure. Visitors to Disney theme parks will notice that each park has a large flag pole...www.militarydisneytips.com
