Diane Disney Miller, Walt Disney's Daughter, Passes Away At Age 79

By far one of the hardest Disney pieces that I have ever written. My heart is heavy, and my thoughts and prayers are with the entire Disney Miller family.

So sad! Everything seems to be running smoothly here at WDW. I hope they do something special for her here.

It was a beautifully written piece, Kristen. It's strange how losing someone I've never met can make me feel so sad. I feel for her family and friends and I hope that they will keep the Disney spirit alive and that they can find peace and comfort in their cherished memories in the months and years ahead.

The American Flag on top of the train station was at half mast today at Magic Kingdom. I'm not sure about in the park itself (noticed while watching the opening show before going to the Kona Cafe for breakfast).

RIP Diane Disney Miller
