Whew! We’re almost there, you guys!
By “almost there,” we mean that we have almost made it through the busy holiday season at Disney World. One more major holiday is approaching, and yes, it’ll definitely bring the crowds. That’s right, we’re talking about New Year’s Eve!
New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day at Disney World are an incredibly exciting yet busy time. After all, who wouldn’t want to ring in 2024 at the Most Magical Place on Earth? We’re already expecting the crowds to be PACKING the parks, as a glimpse at the park reservation availability can give us a few hints as to what we can expect.
For Sunday, December 31st, there are NO MORE park reservations available for any park except for Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Whew!
So, unless you were on your A-game and already snagged your park pass for New Year’s Eve, you won’t be visiting any park other than Animal Kingdom. 😬
Of course, you can still try to park hop. We say “try” because on big holidays like these, it isn’t uncommon for a park to reach capacity. We typically recommend for folks to stay in the same park all day long, especially when park reservations have already been snatched up.
Hey, Animal Kingdom isn’t a horrible place to spend New Year’s Eve, but with the park closing earlier, you won’t find as many celebratory activities there. We recommend heading over to one of the Monorail resorts to try to catch a glimpse of the Magic Kingdom fireworks once Animal Kingdom closes.
The good news? All parks have reservation availability for January 1st! So, if Animal Kingdom isn’t your jam, you can spend the very first day of 2024 in your favorite park.
We’ll be sure to keep you updated with more Disney news, so make sure to follow along for more so that you’re always in the loop.
