Hello and welcome to planDisney, Melissa. We're so glad you're here to share this question with us. It won't be long until you will be walking down Main Street, U.S.A. under the twinkling lights and I'm delighted to help with your question.
I can't think of a better (or more magical) way to ring in the new year than by celebrating at the Disneyland Resort. While there haven't been any official announcements made for the events on New Year's Eve, I did check the
Entertainment Schedule and noticed that there will be a New Year's Eve Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks Spectacular on December 31st. Typically, there are two countdowns (with fireworks) in Disneyland Park for little ones that may not make it that late or those that may turn into a pumpkin at the stroke of midnight (I'm looking at myself).
While we don't have a lot of information quite yet, I recommend continuing to check the
Hours & Events Calendar leading up to and even on the day of your visit for additional details and festive offerings. Another great place to keep an eye on is
Disney Parks Blog and following
@disneyland on Instagram (if you aren't already). In the past, I've seen party hats being given out and DJs in both parks playing music. While none of this is confirmed for this year, I imagine there will be plenty of fun things to celebrate the new year.
Melissa, I hope this helps as you are planning for your magical visit. Please come back to visit us with any other questions that you might be curious about. Here's wishing you a most magical visit ringing in the new year at the Happiest Place on Earth!
