For those of you who are choosing to ring in your New Year’s Eve at Walt Disney World, we’ve got some exciting news. Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be staying open until midnight!

The extended hours aren’t the only exciting piece of news as there will also be “special New Year’s Eve-themed food and drinks” and DJs in Asia, Discovery Island, and DinoLand U.S.A. 

But that’s not all!! Guests can also expect to find fun pin trading opportunities and a special limited-edition New Year’s Eve pin available. Sounds like a party to me!!
