Hello and welcome to planDisney, Patricia!
New Year's Eve is a spectacular time to be at
Walt Disney World Resort! In the past, there have been extraordinary fireworks at Magic Kingdom Park to start the New Year with a bang, sparkle, shimmer and Disney music! I have heard some of the pavilions in World Showcase at EPCOT have done special celebrations to welcome all that is to come in the year. It is truly a special time to say goodbye to the year that has passed and dream big for the year ahead.
You can
purchase tickets online to enjoy the theme parks on December 31. The cost of the tickets is shown with various options, including the price for kids 3-9 years old and kids of all ages 10 and up; the price for each theme park if you plan to enjoy one park that day; and the
Park Hopper option if you want to experience multiple theme parks. Given all the options, looking and booking online is the easiest way to see the cost.
New Year's Eve Day is one of - if not THE - most popular days to visit Walt Disney World Resort. I recommend getting to the parks early. I have been there when Magic Kingdom Park reached capacity before lunchtime. You can check the
Hours & Events Calendar to find the hours for the theme parks during your visit, usually a few months beforehand. Just open the calendar, select "Change Date," and scroll through the months to see what days have schedules posted.
If you have any other questions as you plan to ring in the New Year in Disney style, please stop back by
planDisney. We're here for you!
Cheers!
