    When will information (park hours, special events, etc) be released for the week of New Years Eve?

    Hi Christine,

    The week of New Year’s Eve at the Walt Disney World Resort is a magical time filled with excitement and holiday cheer. Although specific information on park hours and special events for this busy week typically gets released a bit closer to the date, there’s so much to look forward to!

    During the Holidays at Walt Disney World Resort, you’ll find the parks beautifully decorated with holiday lights, festive music, and seasonal treats. From special holiday parades to fun stage shows, every corner of Disney is infused with the spirit of the season. In addition, resorts like Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Disney’s Contemporary Resort will have their gingerbread houses and special treats on display and that will surely get you in the festive mood.

    On New Year’s Eve itself, the excitement reaches its peak! The Theme Parks celebrate with their own unique festivities. Magic Kingdom typically hosts a spectacular fireworks show over Cinderella Castle, accompanied by special music and an electric atmosphere. Epcot features its incredible “New Year’s Eve Countdown” with celebratory fireworks and live music at the World Showcase, highlighting cultures from around the globe.

    Many of the Disney Resorts Collection hotels also offer unique celebrations, with dining options, themed parties, and even fireworks viewing from select locations.

    As for park hours and special event announcements, we’re all eagerly awaiting updates from Disney. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled on the Disney Parks Blog for the latest news and details! It’s going to be a truly unforgettable celebration as you ring in the New Year at the Most Magical Place on Earth!
