Walt Disney World Resort President Josh D’Amaro has always been very active communicating with Cast Members and guests alike on his Instagram page. Even now in times of crisis, as with the unprecedented Disney Parks closure due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, he has shared a touching photo and video of the daily flag raising ceremony at the Magic Kingdom, which continues to this day despite the closures.

From Josh D’Amaro:

“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.”
