The Walt Disney Co. recently shared a video that shows Disney employees raising the flag at Magic Kingdom park just beside the entrance of Main Street, U.S.A.
What’s going on:
- Disney shared a video of employees raising the American flag even though Disneyland and Walt Disney World were closed indefinitely because of COVID-19.
- Walt Disney World Resort President Josh D’Amaro said in a statement on the Disney Parks blog: “While our world looks very different today, one thing endures … the American flag still flies over Walt Disney World. 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.”
What’s going on at Disney
- As I wrote last week, Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in Florida will remain closed for the foreseeable future as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread across the country.
- Disney originally expected to open at the end of March. But the company has extended its closure due to the novel coronavirus, which has forced businesses to shut down nationwide.
