New Year’s Eve Hours Posted For Walt Disney World
We’ve got some helpful news for those planning on ringing in the New Year at Walt Disney World Resort. Disney has just updated the theme park hours for December 31, 2022. This includes Magic Kingdom which takes center stage during Disney World’s New Year’s Celebration each year.
Let’s take a closer look:
Disney’s Hollywood Studios typically remains open later on New Year’s Eve and will do some sort of ringing in the New Year fanfare. As you can see above, the park will stay open on Saturday, December 31st (third column above) until 12 am. That means guest can have a celebratory countdown before heading out for the day!
EPCOT is another fantastic spot to ring in the New Year. With the World Showcase all lit up for the holidays, you can enjoy charming strolls around the lagoon before grabbing a glass of bubbly and toasting in the New Year.
Lastly, Magic Kingdom will be extending its evening hours to 12 am on both December 20, 2022 and December 31, 2022. That means there are two days to experience the fun and excitement of a New Year’s Magic Kingdom visit.
A highlight of the Magic Kingdom visit will of course be the Fantasy In the Sky Fireworks display which will have special 11:50pm showtimes on both dates!
For those unfamiliar, Fantasy in the Sky lights up the night sky over Cinderella Castle with incredible pyrotechnics and special effects set to songs from classic Disney films including Peter Pan, Pinocchio and more! You’ll also hear tunes from some of your favorite Walt Disney World attractions.
