Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Brian. I'm so happy you stopped by and even happier to hear you'll be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort this week! I can't think of a better way to ring in the new year.
I'm sorry to hear that two people in your party are no longer able to travel with you. As Winnie the Pooh would say, "Oh, bother!" Unfortunately,
Theme Park Tickets are nonrefundable and cannot be canceled. But not to fret! The value of those wholly unused tickets never expires and can be applied toward the purchase of new tickets when they are ready to be used.
Did you know there are special New Year celebrations at the Walt Disney World Resort during your stay? If you're at
EPCOT on New Year's Eve, expect DJ dance parties throughout World Showcase, a performance of
Luminous The Symphony of Us at 6:30 PM, and "Cheers to the New Year: A Sparkling Celebration" just before the clock strikes midnight. If you plan to ring in the new year at
Disney's Hollywood Studios, plan on lots of live entertainment and special character experiences throughout the evening, followed by New Year Countdown Fireworks beginning at 11:57 PM.
Magic Kingdom Park is celebrating the new year on both December 30th and December 31st with showings of Fantasy in the Sky, a can't-miss fireworks spectacular, at 6:30 PM and 11:50 PM.
I hope this was helpful, Brian. I'm wishing you a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
Ashley
