With Christmas behind us, we’re starting to look ahead towards New Year’s Eve! Here’s a look at the New Year’s Eve fireworks and entertainment schedule for the Walt Disney World theme parks, and a video highlighting what you can do to celebrate 2020!
Magic Kingdom
The busiest theme park in the world is the busiest theme park on New Year’s Eve too, and Disney is hoping to lure you in a day early like they have in years past with a double-showing of the Fantasy in the Sky fireworks. Adding to the chaos is the fact that there are morning and evening Extra Magic Hours on December 30th.
Park Hours
– December 30th: 8am to midnight (EMH: 7-8am, 12am-2am)
– December 31st: 8am to 1am
Fantasy in the Sky fireworks: December 30th and 31st – 6:30pm and 11:50pm
Frontierland and Tomorrowland dance parties: December 30th and 31st – 7pm until midnight
Epcot
While Magic Kingdom might get the biggest crowds, Epcot is arguably the bigger party. Each country celebrates in their own special way with live music and dancing throughout the night. New this year is Epcot Forever, which will play before the countdown to 2020 and a New Year’s Eve display on World Showcase Lagoon.
