It is almost time to countdown to 2019 and if you’re lucky enough to be ringing in the New Year at Walt Disney World, you’re in for a treat! Few places on Earth do New Year’s quite like Disney does. No matter how you like to celebrate, Disney has something for you! If special dining experiences are your cup of tea, check here for a list of the amazing options available to you. If unforgettable fireworks are more your style, read on for a rundown of what to expect and where the party is going down!
Magic Kingdom:
Magic Kingdom is no stranger to amazing firework displays- they have one every night! But on New Year’s, it’s really a sight to behold. “Fantasy in the Sky” is a treasured celebration that can only be seen twice a year: December 30 and December 31! You have to experience this emotional celebration of color and light yourself to believe it! Set to classic Disney tunes, Fantasy In the Sky is sure to bring any Disney Addict to very happy tears. The show concludes with a countdown and Auld Lang Syne with Mickey and Friends!
Epcot:
Epcot is THE place to ring in the New Year! The Park is absolutely jam-packed full of activities. From live music at the American Gardens theater to dazzling celebrations in each World Showcase country (occurring just as the clock strikes midnight around the world), there is no shortage of things to do here on New Year’s Eve. The crown jewel, however, is the fireworks. Kicking off just after Illuminations (at a special later time), gather around the World Showcase Lagoon for a countdown and special display of fireworks to ring in 2019 right!
Hollywood Studios:
If avoiding crowds is more your style…well…you may be out of luck but your best chance to celebrate without getting too up close and personal with your neighbor is at Hollywood Studios! Enjoy a pyrotechnic countdown and fireworks display that only Hollywood Studios could bring ( think lasers and spotlights)! After the celebration is over, stick around for a special showing of “Star Wars: a Galatic Spectacular”
Beyond Fireworks:
If partying til the wee hours is more your style head over to the Boardwalk where you can get down at the New Year’s Bash at the Atlantic Dance Hall. This event is only for those 21 and up, enjoy food, drinks (both alcoholic and non), a festive atmosphere and an excellent view of Epcot’s stunning fireworks display!
If, like us, you can’t make it in person (or don’t want to brave the crowds) Disney Parks will do a LIVE STREAM of Fantasy in the Sky direct from Magic Kingdom on New Year’s Eve! The fun will start at 11:45 pm EST. Tune in here!
