Welcome to planDisney Jimmy! Thanks for reaching out with your great question. I'm excited to help you! How wonderful that you're planning a trip to
Walt Disney World Resort! You’re sure to create some amazing memories at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
Planning a New Year's Eve visit to Disney World is a magical way to ring in the new year, but it requires strategic planning since it's one of the busiest times of the year.
Magic Kingdom Park is the most popular park on New Year's Eve, known for its
special fireworks and iconic countdown, but it also tends to be the most crowded. If you’re looking for an exciting celebration with an international flair, EPCOT is the place to be, offering unique parties at each pavilion and a festive atmosphere.
Since parks often reach capacity on New Year's Eve, it's important to arrive early and plan to stay all day. If you’re planning to park hop, be aware that re-entry might not be possible if the park you started in reaches capacity. Each park features its own special fireworks show, so decide in advance where you want to watch and secure a good viewing spot, whether it’s in front of Cinderella's Castle in Magic Kingdom or the Japan pavilion in EPCOT.
Staying on property is especially advantageous during New Year's Eve. Resorts such as
Disney's Contemporary Resort or Disney's Polynesian Village Resort offer convenient access to the parks and even the possibility of enjoying the fireworks from the comfort of your room or resort grounds.
Lastly, dining reservations are crucial on New Year’s Eve. Book them as early as possible, especially for popular restaurants, and consider a late dinner to keep you energized for the evening festivities.
I hope this information helps you prepare for an exciting visit to Walt Disney World Resort, Jimmy! Thank you again for visiting planDisney. We'll see ya real soon!
