As the end of the year winds down, there is no better place to spend your New Year's Eve Celebration than at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida!

- New Year’s Celebration Dance Parties in Frontierland & Tomorrowland – Put on your dancing shoes and boot-scoot with a hoppin’ beat ‘til midnight in Frontierland. Or jump start the New Year with an upbeat get-together in Tomorrowland, blasting into 2018 with futuristic tunes.

Only WDWorld New Year's Eve Tips:
Disney World is an amazing place to spend your New Years Eve, but it will be crowded! Expected the parks to fill up so you need to get there early or you may be shut out. Although the party is amazing where ever you may be, we recommend spending New Year's Eve at Epcot.
Epcot is by far the largest Disney World theme park in terms of being able to handle vast quantities of people without feeling overly crowded. When we recently visited Epcot for New Year's Eve, it was hands down the most amazing party we have ever seen with differently themed dance parties taking place in China, Italy, and Japan all at the same time. You can freely roam from one to the other and enjoy all of them.
The best part about the parties at all of the Disney World Theme parks is that all of the celebration is included with the regular admission price!
Enjoy your New Year's Celebration and have a great New Year!
