Be Inspired by History
America is honored at the parks all year round, and there are some great ways to commemorate its history.
Since 1971, Magic Kingdom has hosted the daily flag retreat as a celebratory tribute to US veterans. This event honors our heroes and occurs nightly.
Keep your eyes open for more history on Main Street. Inspired by Walt Disney’s home in Marceline, Missouri, Main Street offers a nostalgic glimpse of historic America.
And don’t forget to check out the patriotic melodies and inspiring performances of the Voices of Liberty.
On July 4, the talented singers have an exclusive performance, “Voices of Liberty: Echoing the Sound of America.” This special performance features unforgettable melodies inspired by your favorite American songs.
