Guests staying at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge should be sure to ask about being a Flag Family during their stay.  Each morning, one fortunate group has the opportunity to climb to the top of the Lodge, and walk out to assist the ranger in raising the flags.

It’s an early-morning ceremony that includes our American flag, the flag of Florida, and flags representing Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and Walt Disney World.  There’s time to take pictures and enjoy the spectacular views from high up on the roof.

The family is presented with a certificate, has a photo taken and is given a frame to hold this memento of their special Disney moment.  Some families are invited to enjoy breakfast at the Old Faithful Club, the private concierge lounge on the seventh floor.

Those hoping to participate should make their request at the time of check-in.  This is very popular and limited to one party each day.
