Welcome to planDisney, Carmen! How exciting to see you are planning a visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth to celebrate the start of a new year! The
Park Hours & Events Calendar is a great resource to help you plan, and as of today, the calendar is updated through February 3, 2025!
Carmen, keep in mind that park hours, events, and offerings are always subject to change, so I do recommend checking in frequently on the Walt Disney World website or the
My Disney Experience mobile app as you
count down the days to your arrival to be sure you have the most up-to-date information! For me, there's nothing more exciting than seeing the park hours extended to offer a few more magical hours at night; the ambiance of the parks late at night is my favorite!
During your visit, Carmen, you'll have the opportunity to experience the nighttime fireworks shows at three different theme parks, including
Luminous The Symphony of Us at EPCOT (currently scheduled for 9 PM each night);
Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom Park (currently scheduled at 8 PM each night); and
Fantasmic! at Disney's Hollywood Studios (currently scheduled at 9:30 PM each night). Also if you find yourself in Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park after dark, stop by to see the
Tree of Life Awakenings and stroll through
Pandora - The World of Avatar to see its bioluminescent beauty!
Another exciting event that will be happening during your visit is the
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! This artful festival features interactive art displays, unique food and drink offerings, and the
DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series; if you're interested in the concert series, the
Dining Packages will be available for booking starting on December 18, so be sure to set a reminder! This is a great way to enjoy a delicious meal and have guaranteed seating for the show!
I hope this helps, Carmen! Remember that if you're staying at a Disney Resort hotel in 2025, you receive
complimentary water park admission on your check-in day! If it's warm enough and works with your travel schedule, this is a great way to dive right into the fun! If you have any other planning questions, come on back to
planDisney any time and let us know!
Magic Awaits,
Alison
