Welcome Maria. Thanks for visiting us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
I am glad to hEAR you are going to spend New Years’ Eve at the Walt Disney World Resort. It is a fantastic way to start a new year, and
Epcot is absolutely my favorite Park for this special moment.
When you buy your
park tickets online you will choose what type of ticket and for how many days you need, but you don’t need to select a specific date for using it. Don’t worry, your tickets will not be activated until your first visit to a theme park, and they expire 14 days after their first use. Ticket prices change as you add additional days. The more days you add, the less they cost. You can always buy your tickets at the park entrances, and they will have the same cost as buying them online.
I highly recommend that you get your tickets in advance. Last week of December is very crowded at Disney Parks, especially on December 31. With your tickets bought you can select your
FastPass+ in advance and save some time you would be spending in lines for attractions and shows. Dining reservations are also very important and I encourage you to do it as soon as possible.
Hope this information helps your planning. Let us know if you have further questions.
Have a wonderful day! And Happy New Year!
Gina V.
