WWII Veteran Celebrates 61st Wedding Anniversary by Honoring His Country in Magic Kingdom’s Flag Ceremony
To celebrate the love of their country, and each other, the Lessures (pronounced like “pressure,” le-SHURE) of Cincinnati, Ohio, married on July 4th, 1951. WWII veteran Louis, 93, and his wife Sally, 85, say neither realized the irony of tying the knot on Independence Day.
In honor of their 61st wedding anniversary Wednesday, the couple chose Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom to mark the momentous occasion. Louis Lessure, a First Lieutenant Bombardier in the Army Air Corps from 1942-1945, was Walt Disney World’s honorary veteran Monday in the Magic Kingdom Flag Ceremony. Lessure has been honored with a Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross.

How to Get Into Top of the World Lounge atop Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort
From July 8-August 25, 2012, Disney Vacation Club Members staying at any Disney-owned-and-operated hotel at the Walt Disney World Resort (whether they booked with vacation points or cash) may enjoy access to one of the vacation kingdom’s most exclusive spaces: the Top of the World Lounge atop Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
The sleekly designed bar and lounge, typically available only to Members staying at Bay Lake Tower, operates from 5 p.m.-midnight daily and offers spectacular rooftop viewing of Wishes – the Magic Kingdom fireworks spectacular – complete with the show’s stirring musical soundtrack. The ability to access the lounge has been a frequent request from Members staying at other Walt Disney World Resorts since Bay Lake Tower opened in 2009, and Disney Vacation Club is thrilled to make that “wish” come true during this special summer period.
This perk is available exclusively to Members and those in their traveling party who are staying on that Member’s reservation. At least one Member in the traveling party must accompany the group and present his or her current Key to the World card displaying a Disney Vacation Club Membership notation in order to gain admission to the lounge. If the Member’s Key to the World card doesn’t display a Membership notation, a Disney Vacation Club Member ID is required in addition to the Key to the World card to verify Membership.
Note that Members traveling from other resorts must use Walt Disney World Transportation, as parking will be unavailable to anyone not staying at Bay Lake Tower or Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Upon arrival, Members must walk to the Bay Lake Tower main lobby entrance on the ground floor and check in at the Top of the World Lounge desk in the lobby.
This special Top of the World Lounge access is available on a first-come, first-served basis until the lounge reaches capacity. As the lounge is particularly popular during the Magic Kingdom fireworks, arriving as early as possible will give Members the best chance of gaining admission.
When you go…tell your bartenders Mike and Brucie Hello from Amanda and that you heard about this perk from DisneyEveryday.com!
