Hi Sergio! Thanks so much for stopping by
planDisney to share your exciting plans. Spending New Year’s Eve at the
Walt Disney World Resort is an absolutely magical way to ring in the new year, and I’d be delighted to help you think through some of the best ways to make the most of your visit.
First things first, while we are not travel agents here at planDisney, I can definitely point you in the right direction. I highly recommend booking your vacation package or
purchasing your Theme Park tickets for those dates as soon as possible. New Year’s Eve is one of the most popular times of the year to visit, so securing your plans now will give you peace of mind. Once you have your hotel and tickets booked, you’ll be able to make your dining reservations beginning 60 days prior to your check-in date, which in your case would be October 31.
Since you’re hoping to celebrate at
EPCOT, your best bet for an incredible view of the fireworks is the Rose & Crown Fireworks Dining Package. This special dining experience offers reserved seating and a truly breathtaking view of the nighttime spectacular across World Showcase Lagoon. Keep in mind that reservations for this location go very quickly, so I recommend being ready to book right when reservations open, usually around 6 a.m. EST.
As far as attractions go, since you mentioned wanting to focus on the more thrilling, adult rides, I suggest purchasing a
Lightning Lane Multi Pass to maximize your time and minimize waits throughout the day. In addition, I would definitely consider buying a Lightning Lane Single Pass for
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, EPCOT’s must-do attraction that is as exciting as it is unforgettable. These tools will help you enjoy the very best of EPCOT, even on what is quite possibly the busiest day of the entire year at Walt Disney World Resort.
Sergio, I hope this gives you a clearer picture of how to plan for an unforgettable holiday visit. With the right reservations and a little bit of strategy, your New Year’s Eve will be filled with fireworks, thrills, and memories that will last a lifetime. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach back out to us. Have a magical day!
Warm hugs,
Ana Paula
