Hiya Morgan! Excellent question!
New Year's Eve is one of the most magical days of the year at the
Happiest Place on Earth. Not only does Disneyland Resort typically host two
firework spectaculars on New Year's Eve, but historically, Disneyland Park remains open until 2AM. With that said, it is highly unlikely that a special ticketed event will be scheduled for New Year's Eve, requiring regular Guests to leave early. I hope that gives you peace of mind.
Before I let you go, I wanted to share that New Year's Eve is often one of the year's busiest days at the Disneyland Resort. I highly recommend you purchase
Genie+ if you can and that you
Mobile Food and Beverage Order all your meals first thing in the morning to avoid long food lines.
I hope you have a blast starting the new year at the Happiest Place on Earth!
Happy planning,
Lola
