Walt Disney World Flags at Half-Staff to Honor Pope Francis
Walt Disney World is currently observing a period of mourning, flying its American flags at half-staff. This decision follows the passing of Pope Francis, who died at the age of 88 on Monday morning.

The flags were already lowered at the Orlando resort in response to a recent tragedy at Florida State University, where a shooting incident last Thursday resulted in the deaths of two individuals and injuries to six others.
Following President Trump’s directive that all U.S. flags on public buildings and grounds be lowered in remembrance of Pope Francis, Disney has maintained the flags at half-staff. The resort is thus honoring both the victims of the Florida State University shooting and the late pontiff.
