Does WDW do anything for Veteran's Day?

As the title asks, does WDW do anything for Veteran's Day? Is there an event at any particular park?

Thanks!

There will be a special Flag Retreat ceremony at MK, and the Fife & Drum group at American Adventure at Epcot will normally add a little something to their presentation. Voices of Liberty is likely to mention it as well.

That's about it for "formal" recognition / events.

There's not some free ticket deal or anything like that though? I wouldn't imagine the events you mentioned would affect crowds too much.

Well i know the one time I was there over Veterans day about 5 years ago it fell in with soap opera weekend. So crowds were up. Not sure if the NJ school break was also going on that time frame too You'll need to to probably do a little research to find out when that is going to occur this year. Beautiful weather during that time of year normally

Have fun!

It would appear as though the famed "Jersey Week" is the week before.

I'm hoping for some nice weather. It's been stinking hot both times we've been (May & September).

I know last november for the week were there it fell the week prior to thanksgiving week. Crowds were low. Weather was in the high 70's, low 80's. What I consider beautiful Another thing that can impact crowds and we only ran into trying to go to dinner at Shades of Green the first Sunday was a golf tournament going on. We stayed at the boardwalk and it sounded like they had been full for that as well.

I think you're going to be okay on crowds. And yep may and september are hot!! We only went this last september because of the salute tickets were expiring the 30th of Sept. We normally go in November and end of March/April time frame for crowds and weather ourselves.
