My family visited Disneyland today and noticed the Disney flag over the train station flying at half staff. Obviously out of respect for Roy Disney passing away today. We thought we'd share the pic with you all.

I had to re-read your comment. I thought I read "Disney is so cheesy" and was about to go on a rant. Glad that I did mis-read it though
Anyways, it's nice to see that they lowered to half staff for today. I was really curious as to how his passing would affect the park and it looks like this thread answered my curiosity.Comment

Glad you looked at it again. Disneyland is often cheesy, but things like this remind me they have a big heart and a lot of class.Originally posted by ryanvalle View PostThought I'd share this:

Does anyone happen to know if they did anything special with Roy's statue in the MK?
The WDW boards are totally inactive right now.Comment

Re: Disney flag at half staff
That's a statue of Roy O. Disney, Walt's brother. The Roy Disney who just passed away is Roy E. Disney, Walt's nephew (and Roy O. Disney's son).Originally posted by Sir Didymus View PostDoes anyone happen to know if they did anything special with Roy's statue in the MK?

Thanks for the pic. We too were wondering if the sad event was acknowledged in the Park somehow.Originally posted by kat3010 View PostMy family visited Disneyland today and noticed the Disney flag over the train station flying at half staff.

That's a really nice touch, I wouldn't have expected anything less.
I hope the other Disney resorts do the same.

According to Bob Iger's letter to Cast Members, the Disney flag will be at half mast for the rest of the week which is extremely classy on the part of the Company.Comment

Re: Disney flag at half staff
Is there any talk of a window for him? would a window be appropriate? I realize he did a lot for WDA as well as for the overall company (which in turn benefited the park)... I'm just curious if there are any plans for a permanent honor.
Thank you to the OP. Many of us were wondering if Disneyland would honor him."Happiness is a Low Water Level"

Any pics of the Mark Twain?I'm literally a born Disney fan! I was born at Providence St. Joseph Med Center right across the street from Disney Studios in Burbank. The same hospital where Walt died.

Re: Disney flag at half staff
I wonder if they will place the traditional full page "Crying Mickey" ad in the LA Times and entertainment trade papers that they have done in the past for other Disney VIPS.Comment

It's great of them to pay respect to Roy E. Disney, and the way in which they chose to do it is very classy and respectful. He will be missed."It matters not how strait the gate how charged with Punishments the scroll I am the master of my fate I am the captain of my soul" -- W.E. Henley
