New Year’s Eve at Disney World

It’s almost the end of 2014! Can you believe it? With the end of the year comes New Year’s Eve at Disney World. There are many ways to celebrate – at the parks, Downtown Disney or at your resort. Here is a look at what will be happening in the theme parks.

Magic Kingdom – On December 30 and 31, there will be a New Year’s Eve “Fantasy in the Sky” fireworks at 11:50 pm.

Epcot – There will be a DJ and light show at the Future World Fountain Stage. Guests will also enjoy dancing under flame effects and a smoke-billowing dragon in China, a British blast to the past in United Kingdom, Euro-pop and lasers in Italy and a Latin band and DJ on the America Gardens Stage. There will be two showings of IllumiNations, one at 6:00 pm and the other at 11:40 pm. Following the show, there will be a countdown to 2015.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios – The Event Stage will host a live DJ and performances by Mulch, Sweat & Shears. Guests can enjoy specialty drinks and food items available only for New Year’s Eve. Mulch, Sweat and Shears will count down to 2015 and perform during the fireworks.

For guests who are wanting to spend the day in the parks, make sure you arrive to the parks early. Disney has four phases for closing and once it reaches phase four, the park is closed to all guests. New Year’s Eve is one of the busiest days and the parks have been known to reach capacity.
