Disney still raises flags despite coronavirus shutdown

The music is silent. The paths are empty. The gates are closed to guests.

But despite the shutdown of Walt Disney World and Disneyland because of COVID-19, the flags are still flying at one Disney property.

Every day, the security team on duty at the Florida theme park is still raising the stars and stripes high above Main Street while still observing social distancing, Disney Parks official blog said.

Walt Disney World Resort president Josh D'Amaro shared what the company called #DisneyMagicMoments on his Instagram account Wednesday.

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. #OurFlagWasStillThere #DisneyCastLife #DisneyMagicMoments #MagicKingdom
