Hi Jamie!
Welcome to planDisney! It sounds like your Walt Disney World Resort vacation is just around the corner, and what a spectacular time of year to visit! It looks like you may be celebrating New Year’s Eve at the parks, how amazing. I can only imagine how much fun it will be to ring in the New Year at
The Most Magical Place On Earth, with dazzling fireworks displays, festive entertainment, and a beautiful holiday atmosphere. EPCOT’s incredible nighttime celebration and Magic Kingdom’s New Year’s fireworks are just a couple of the highlights to look forward to as you ring in the new year Disney style.
Based on the information you’ve provided, it sounds like your tickets are date-based. The great news is that these tickets do not require separate
theme park reservations! If the reservation system indicates that reservations are unavailable for a particular park, it’s important to note that this applies only to Guests who need them. However,
a park showing no availability for reservations may suggest it’s likely going to be busy and could potentially reach capacity. To ensure entry, I recommend arriving early, as all parks are subject to capacity limits, especially during high-traffic holidays like New Year’s Eve. This is particularly true for EPCOT and Magic Kingdom, as these parks often host the most popular celebrations.
Since New Year’s Eve tends to be a long and eventful day, let me help you plan! If you’re starting your day at Magic Kingdom, consider booking a sit-down
Character Dining experience at The Crystal Palace for a relaxed breakfast to ease into the day. To make the most of your park time, take advantage of the Lightning Lane passes, which will help you minimize wait times. For a mid-day recharge, head to a quieter spot like the upper level of
Columbia Harbour House to enjoy a peaceful quick-service meal and a bit of downtime. You can also explore longer attractions with comfortable seating, like the
Hall of Presidents, the
Carousel of Progress, the
Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, or
Mickey’s PhilharMagic. For dinner, consider reserving a table at
Be Our Guest Restaurant, where you can enjoy a delicious meal while giving your feet a well-earned break.
If you have additional questions or maybe need help structuring your day at a different park,
feel free to reach out again, I’d be happy to share my recommendations for making the most of your time there. Here’s to an amazing Disney adventure filled with memories to last a lifetime!
Cheers!
