Liberty Square: A Step Back in Time
Nestled in Magic Kingdom, Liberty Square is a tribute to colonial America. The area captures the spirit of the 18th century with authentic architecture, period details, and even a Liberty Tree adorned with 13 lanterns representing the original colonies. Walt Disney World guests can also marvel at the Liberty Bell replica, one of only a few created with the same mold as the original in Philadelphia.
For an educational experience, don’t miss The Hall of Presidents. This inspiring attraction features animatronic figures of every U.S. president, accompanied by a moving narration about the nation’s history and the leadership that shaped it.
American Adventure Pavilion at EPCOT
EPCOT’s World Showcase is home to the American Adventure Pavilion, a grand celebration of the nation’s heritage. Inside, the main attraction, The American Adventure, combines audio-animatronics, film, and music to tell the story of the country’s triumphs and challenges through the eyes of figures like Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain.
The rotunda inside the pavilion takes life via the Voices of Liberty, a world-renowned a cappella group performing patriotic classics under the stunning acoustics of the rotunda. Their harmonies bring the stories of America to life in an unforgettable way.
Flag Retreat Ceremony on Main Street, U.S.A.
Every day at Magic Kingdom, the Flag Retreat Ceremony takes place in Town Square on Main Street, U.S.A. This moving tradition includes the lowering of the American flag, accompanied by a live performance of patriotic songs and a salute to the nation’s veterans. It’s a simple but powerful moment that underscores Disney’s commitment to honoring the country.
