The Thunderbirds Soared Over Walt Disney World in Tribute to Veterans

For the first time ever, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds showcased their exceptional aerial skills over two major theme parks in Central Florida: Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT. This impressive flyover at Walt Disney World Resort kicked off National Veterans and Military Families Month, a time dedicated to honoring those who have selflessly served the nation.

EPCOT-Flyover

The Thunderbirds, also known as “America’s Team”, announced their presence with a roaring pass over the Magic Kingdom, then swiftly moved to EPCOT. Onlookers were treated to a second spectacle as the jets made another pass over the Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle, ending with their signature delta maneuver, reminiscent of a spectacular fireworks display.

This flyover aligns with Disney’s long-standing tradition of supporting the U.S. Armed Forces. To further celebrate this month of recognition, Disney has released a special line of military-inspired merchandise. For a limited period, these items will be available at select Disney resorts, including the Emporium at both Magic Kingdom Park and Disneyland, Elias & Co. at Disney’s California Adventure park, and the World of Disney at Downtown Disney in California.

Over the past century, The Walt Disney Company has consistently shown its gratitude to veterans and their families through various gestures like military discounts and daily flag ceremonies at their resorts. Furthermore, since 2012, Disney has generously contributed over $20 million to nonprofits aimed at supporting veterans and their families.

Let’s join hands in appreciating the sacrifices and contributions of all military personnel and veterans to our great nation.
