June Disney Tip Free things to do!

Sorry guys for not posting more tips in the last few months, anyway I hope to make up for it by posting a couple of extra tips this month, so if you know of any more tips please feel free to get in touch.

June's Tip
Magic Kingdom
Flag RFlag retreat - Main Street, U.S.A.

At about 5:10 pm each evening, a color guard marches to Town Square, while patriotic music plays.

They take down the American flag from the flagpole, then release a flock of white homing pigeons, symbolic of the dove of peace. The birds fly back to their home, which is behind Cinderella's castle.

Main Street Actors - Main Street, U.S.A.

Appearing throughout the day at 20 minute intervals, including: Mayor Weaver, Town Gossip Tabitha Quidnunk, Reporter Scoop Sanderson, and Socialite Hildegard Olivia Harding.

Grand Marshall of the Parade

You and your group could be chosen after entering the Magic Kingdom to be the Grand Marshall's.

If you are chosen, you will get to ride in the car that precedes the parade.

They will announce your names and home town(s).

You will be given Mickey Mouse ears to wear, and will wave at everyone lined up for the parade.

Someone has to be chosen any reason it can't be you :)

EPCOT
Fountain of Nations - See a water ballet every 15 minutes at this large fountain in Innoventions Plaza. The water sprays in time to music, and colorful lights play over the water sprays, making this a delightful show
