Dressed in 1800s costumes, they sing patriotic classics and American folk songs in eight-part harmony. The acoustics under the dome are amazing. When they sing \u201cAmerica the Beautiful\u201d or the Armed Forces medley, it resonates deeply.

It\u2019s not widely advertised; you have to inquire at the front desk about being the \u201cFlag Family.\u201d If you can secure it, it\u2019s an amazing experience where you climb to the very top of the Lodge, raise the U.S., state, and Disney flags, and enjoy panoramic views \u2013 a very special honor for a military family to literally raise the colors to start the day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Wilderness-Lodge.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17774\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Wilderness-Lodge.jpg\" alt=\"Disney Resorts at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Tested by Military Disney Tips\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Wilderness-Lodge.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Wilderness-Lodge-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Wilderness-Lodge-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Wilderness-Lodge-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Flag Raising at Resort or Pledge<\/strong> \u2013 If staying at a Disney resort, see if they do a morning flag raising. Some resorts occasionally involve kids in raising the flag. If not, simply take a moment at your resort\u2019s flagpole to salute or take a family photo. Shades of Green (the Armed Forces Recreation Center resort) for example has a prominent flag and military monuments \u2013 worth a visit if you\u2019re nearby.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bonus_Ideas\"><\/span>Bonus Ideas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Service Member Photo Ops<\/strong> \u2013 Take advantage of iconic photo spots to capture your family\u2019s patriotism. In front of Main Street Station with the flag, at the American Adventure pavilion with its architecture, or by the Partners Statue (Walt and Mickey) holding a small American flag. These make for wonderful keepsakes \u2013 Disney magic mixed with love of country.<\/p>\n<p>Swing by the Guest Services to pick up the complimentary <strong>\u201cI&#8217;m Celebrating\u201d buttons<\/strong> and write \u201cService Member\u201d or \u201cVeteran\u201d on it, if a member of your family is one \u2013 you might get cast members and guests thanking you for your service throughout the day. And don\u2019t forget to use the Disney Photopass photogs \u2013 many are happy to incorporate your patriotic gear (maybe they\u2019ll catch you saluting or holding that flag).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Magic-Kingdom-Fireworks.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Magic-Kingdom-Fireworks.jpg\" alt=\"Magic Kingdom Fireworks\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Magic-Kingdom-Fireworks.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Magic-Kingdom-Fireworks-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Magic-Kingdom-Fireworks-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Magic-Kingdom-Fireworks-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fourth of July Fireworks<\/strong> (Seasonal) \u2013 If you are visiting around Independence Day, you\u2019re in for a treat.
