Hiya, Angela!
Here at planDisney, we're firm believers that every day is a good day for a visit to Walt Disney World Resort, but the New Year's celebrations at EPCOT are sure to make your December 31 visit even more magical!
Because of this, I'm happy to share that your theme park admission is also your ticket to the sights, sounds, and tastes of EPCOT's global New Year's Eve festivities. There's no additional booking, special event ticket, or
theme park reservation required! While this is indeed great news, it's also important to keep in mind that these celebrations make New Year's Eve one of the most popular days of the year at
EPCOT, so it's not unusual for the theme park to reach capacity on this particular day thus preventing additional Guest admission. With this in mind, you'll want to arrive early in the day to be sure that you don't miss the midnight magic!
Personally, I would suggest booking a character breakfast at
Garden Grill Restaurant and then filling your day with EPCOT's diverse must-dos like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Living with the Land, and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. There's truly so much to see and do in EPCOT that you'll have no problem filling your day with magical moments as you wait for the celebrations to begin!
I hope this provides some peace of mind, Angela, and that your 2026 is every bit as magical as your last day of 2025 is sure to be! If you'd like any additional recommendations for your day in EPCOT, don't hesitate to reach back out.
You've got a friend in me!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
