If you have ever studied or read about Walt Disney, you already know what a great patriot he was.

The Magic Kingdom, especially Main Street USA, pays tribute to America in many ways. Before you even enter the park, a large American flag stands sentry over the Main Street Train Station.

Once you enter, though, you come across Town Square, home to yet another flagpole flying Old Glory. As you look down Main Street towards Cinderella Castle, you see even more flags lining buildings. In fact, these flags are actually missing one star and one stripe.

Why, you ask? Well, not out of a lack of respect, but rather because these flags cannot be lowered & raised as is proper flag etiquette. So, this way, the flags can remain standing throughout the night.
