Hi there, Gemma! We are so happy you found your way to planDisney. I can see that you are hoping to ring in the New Year with some magic at the Happiest Place on Earth! Let's grab some Mickey ears and get the countdown started ... 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1!
I have some good news for you! Currently, New Year's Eve in the parks requires just a regular
theme park ticket and a
theme park reservation for December 31st. If you've got both of these in hand, you are welcome to enjoy all the parks have to offer from park opening to park closing on the 31st! While schedules and events are always subject to change, considering we are just a few days out, I would not anticipate a special, ticketed event to pop up for the evening so you should be all set. You can always keep your eyes peeled on the
Park Hours which are currently set for:
December 31st, 2022 Park Hours
Now, it wouldn't be Disney without some special New Years' magic in the works! What can you expect as you say goodbye to 2022? Let's find out. I highly recommend checking out the
Entertainment Schedule which is where you will find all the special plans for the evening. Along with the
holiday parades and shows, there is a special schedule of New Year's Eve Countdown Celebrations at several locations throughout Disneyland Park from "it's a small world" to Rivers of America to Sleeping Beauty Castle and Tomorrowland. If you've got little Mouseketeers with you, you'll even be able to enjoy a countdown earlier in the evening and not have to worry about staying up too late. If there's one must-see for the evening, make sure it's the New Year's Eve Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks Spectacular above Sleeping Beauty Castle. There is no better way to kick off 2023 than with a bang (and some sparkle!)!
Gemma, I hope this helped make your New Year's dreams come true! If you have any more questions, we are always here for you at
planDisney!
Here's to 2023!
Tara
