Celebrate the New Year at the Walt Disney World Resort with exciting Entertainment and Dining Options!

Are you spending New Year’s at Walt Disney World?  Or maybe you were thinking about it but haven’t made your plans yet?

Disney has announced their entertainment and dining options for those ringing in 2016 at the Walt Disney World Resort and I am so jealous of everyone who will be there to experience some of these awesome programming and dining options.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Epcot and Magic Kingdom will all be offering fireworks.  As in year’s past, Animal Kingdom and Disney Springs will NOT have a firework show.

Here’s a look at some of Disney’s entertainment and dining celebrations planned for New Year’s Eve 2015 at Walt Disney World Resort.

Entertainment:

Epcot – Guests can celebrate all night long at Epcot. DJs and live music around World Showcase will keep the party rocking with beats from around the globe. Two showings of “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” fireworks spectacular at 6 p.m. and 11:40 p.m., followed by a countdown and pyrotechnic salute to the New Year will top off the celebration.

Magic Kingdom – Guests can get a head start on welcoming 2016 at Magic Kingdom as New Year’s Eve fireworks light up the sky on two nights instead of one. Magic Kingdom will present a jaw-dropping presentation of “Fantasy in the Sky” fireworks on both Wednesday, Dec. 30, and Thursday, Dec. 31 at 11:50 p.m.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios – Rock ’n’ roll into the New Year with a brilliant fireworks spectacular at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The show will be presented on Dec. 31 near the Hyperion Theater at midnight.

Dining:

Magic Kingdom – For guests with a sweet tooth, Tomorrowland Terrace will feature a New Year’s Eve fireworks dessert party twice nightly during the “Fantasy in the Sky” fireworks spectacular Dec. 30-31. Reservations can be made up to two weeks in advance by calling 407-WDW-DINE.
