[Pictures] Disney flag at half staff

[kat3010]

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.

Nice Touch. Disney is so classy.

Thought I'd share this:
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.

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.

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.

Yah, did Walt Disney World do the same thing?

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).

Thanks for the pic. We too were wondering if the sad event was acknowledged in the Park somehow.

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.

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.

Any pics of the Mark Twain?

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.

Very nice. I was hoping they would do that.

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.
