Disney World Lowers Flags to Half-Staff After Trump Order Honoring Cheney

The resort is observing national mourning customs despite not being required to do so.

Overview

Guests reported half-staff flags on November 5 across Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
The change follows President Trump’s November 4 directive to fly U.S. flags at half-staff "through internment."
Dick Cheney died November 3 at age 84 from complications of pneumonia and cardiac/vascular disease, according to reporting cited by the outlets.
Although privately owned, Walt Disney World routinely follows U.S. Flag Code practices during national periods of mourning.
The resort has previously lowered flags for Charlie Kirk, Jimmy Carter, and Pope Francis, and Magic Kingdom continues its daily Flag Retreat ceremony.
