Hi, Cathy!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. You’re going to have an amazingly memorable time ringing in the New Year at Walt Disney World! I have to say that I am a tad bit jealous!
Epcot can be a great choice on New Year’s Eve because the park’s large size and spacious walking paths seem to absorb heavier crowds better than the other theme parks. There are usually two showings of IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth on New Year’s Eve, so you could plan to see the first show and have time to explore World Showcase and enjoy the fireworks display before the countdown to midnight. Special fireworks shows are typically held at Magic Kingdom Park, Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios on New Year’s Eve, so no matter which park you choose, you’ll be able to welcome 2014 with a bang!
Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for details about the New Year’s Eve events and special extras planned at Walt Disney World as the holiday season approaches. In the past, specific plans were announced around mid-October, but highlights are sure to include extra-special holiday fireworks, live music, unique dining opportunities and a variety of entertainment.
I hope this helps, Cathy, and that you have a perfectly pixie-dusted visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth in a few months! Please feel free to ask me any other questions you may have as your planning continues.
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
