Walt Disney World is a perfect place to ring in the New Year. There are many magical ways to celebrate including the huge Countdown To Midnight bash at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort!
This 3 in 1 progressive party will be held on December 31, 2015 at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. Check in for the event will begin at 7:30pm and the party will start at 8:00pm. Admission is $300 per person and includes tax and gratuity.
Guests can enjoy the interactive comedy reunion at the Adventurer’s Club, rock out with the 9-piece band at Club Live, and dance the night away at Club Vinyl. Throughout the evening while club-hopping, party-goers can dine on tasty food and delicious desserts from buffet stations and sip beer, wine, and cocktails from the open bar. At midnight, everyone will put on their New Year’s Eve hats and tiaras and grab their keepsake champagne glasses for a toast during the balloon drop and confetti finale!

Tip Of The WeekTo avoid dealing with the massive crowd of people heading for the Magic Kingdom exit after the parade and fireworks, enter the interconnected shops on the right side of Main Street (when facing the train station) and walk from Casey’s Corner all the way through The Emporium without going outside. You’ll exit near the fire station with a straight shot to the gate. This is a much more peaceful option for leaving the park.
