Hi Melanie Jayne! Thank you so much for bringing your question to
planDisney. I can absolutely understand the excitement of trying to secure a New Year’s Eve dessert party! There's no better way to celebrate than with delicious treats and a spectacular view of fireworks lighting up the sky at the Most Magical Place on Earth.
At this time, Disney has not yet released any of the New Year’s Eve dessert parties for booking. Even though Guests with vacations that include December 31 can already book regular dining reservations through their extended window, special event offerings for New Year's Eve tend to follow a completely different release schedule. Historically, these events become available closer to the holiday season once final entertainment details and operational plans have all been confirmed. Based on previous years, we typically see New Year’s Eve dessert party announcements and booking availability arrive sometime in the first half of November, so truly any day now!
I know it can feel a little nerve-racking to wait, especially when you’re trying to lock in the perfect way to ring in the new year. The best thing you can do right now is keep a close eye on the
Disney Parks Blog, since that’s the first place announcements like this are officially shared. It’s also helpful to check the
My Disney Experience mobile app regularly in case reservations appear before a blog post goes live. A little persistence, and maybe a sprinkle of pixie dust, goes a long way with these high-demand offerings.
In the meantime, if you’re looking for back-up ideas, there are also wonderful dining locations around
Walt Disney World Resort with premium fireworks views, like
California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, but those options tend to go quickly too, so I’d keep checking back often for availability to pop up.
Melanie Jayne, it sounds like you are planning the most magical way to welcome 2026, and I have a feeling the perfect reservation is just around the corner. Stay tuned, because the celebration is coming! If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach back out to us. We're always available and more than happy to help!
Warm hugs,
Ana Paula
