Welcome to planDisney Lauren! I can't believe the New Year is almost here!
I can't think of a better place than ring in the new year than the Disneyland Resort! There are several special ways to celebrate in both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. Both parks are open later than usual as well, so make sure to check the
Hours & Events Calendar. There most likely will be higher crowds with the holiday, so I always like to arrive early in the morning to make the most out of the day, and make sure I have packed my patience as well!
In
Disneyland Park, you can join in the New Year's Eve Countdown Celebration at Sleeping Beauty Castle, at "it's a small world," or at Rivers of America. The
entertainment schedule has the start time for each celebration, and you'll be able to see the New Year's Eve fireworks show! In past years there have also been some special photo opportunities for Guests in each theme park as well.
Over at
Disney California Adventure Park, there will be a New Year's Eve Countdown Celebration at World of Color Viewing Area in Paradise Gardens Park, in Cars Land, and in Hollywood Land. These are all such great areas for such a special celebration and memorable photos of the evening! If you're over in Disney California Adventure Park, you also could experience the
Disney Festival of Holidays and try several of the delicious dishes from the Festive Food Marketplace.
I'm wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year, Lauren! Please
come back to planDisney if we can help with any other questions!
Have a magical day,
Melissa
