Hi there, Bertha, and welcome to planDisney! As a fellow Georgian, I'm so happy that you're here with this great question about planning a visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth! You're going to have the very best time ringing in the new year at Walt Disney World Resort!
Bertha, it sounds like you're in the beginning phase of planning your visit to Walt Disney World Resort. I love spending New Year's Eve at
EPCOT because you can experience many different types of New Year's celebrations in the same night! Each country in the World Showcase will offer unique entertainment that'll have you singing and dancing your way to 2025. Be sure to check the
Special Offers page of the Walt Disney World Resort website before booking your stay, to see if any of the offers apply to your dates!
I definitely recommend staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel for many reasons, including the proximity to the Disney Theme Parks, convenient and complimentary transportation, and incredible theming. It can be fun to stay within walking distance of a park, and if you're hoping to party at EPCOT until the wee hours of the morning, you might enjoy staying at
Disney's BoardWalk Inn or
Disney's Beach Club Resort so that you can walk right to your room.
I will say that EPCOT can get quite busy on New Year's Eve, so I recommend arriving early and planning to stay all day in case the park reaches capacity. Take advantage of the shows throughout the World Showcase where you can relax throughout the day and save your energy for the evening!
Bertha, I hope this is helpful to you as you count down to your arrival and the new year! Please stop back by
planDisney with any other questions you have as you continue to make your plans!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
