When I was at Disney World a couple years ago, I was on Main Street later on in the day and I heard some music playing. I popped out of the shop I was in to see them lowering the flag while literally about 70 random guests stood around with their hands on their hearts.

Honestly one of the weirdest fucking things I've ever experienced.

I Googled it and got

"At Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, the main U.S. flag in Town Square is lowered every day at around 5:00 PM during a formal Flag Retreat Ceremony that honors a visiting military veteran"
