Victoria Falls Lounge Temporarily Reopens for New Year’s Eve
According to the Disney website, the Victoria Falls Lounge at Animal Kingdom Lodge will be open on New Year’s Eve from 5pm – 1am. However, this is just a temporary reopening for the holiday.
Along with this re-opening, park hours have also been extended into the night on New year’s Eve. For December 31, 2020, Magic Kingdom (which usually does a special evening fireworks display for New Year’s Eve will actually be closing at11pm. At EPCOT it is more of the same with a 10PM closure. Over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios things will be wrapping up at p:00pm and Animal Kingdom is earlier still with an 8:00 pm closure.
For many of those visiting Disney during the Holiday Season, ringing in the New Year at the theme parks or at a special Disney dining event is high on the must-do list. However, with COVID-19 cases expected to continue through the Winter, it looks like Disney has made the decision to keep somewhat reduced (even though they have been extended generously) theme park hours on New Year’s Eve and forego the fireworks.
Victoria Falls Lounge is located inside the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Sample suds from South Africa before or after dinner inside this intimate bar overlooking Boma restaurant. A host of South African wines are also featured, all of which can be enjoyed in the flickering ambience of the fire pit outside.
