food IS a theme park
Whew! We’re almost there, you guys!
2024 will be an exciting time!
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!
We’re kissing 2020 goodbye at Disney World today! It’s been a long year and we’re ready to move forward into 2021.
Cinderella Castle
Disney World is celebrating New Year’s Eve a little differently this year. The theme parks are closing before midnight for health and safety reasons. Guests are encouraged to ring in the new year from their resort where Disney will host special activities tonight. We’re heading into the parks to see what the crowds, wait times, and the overall vibe is like.
We’re counting down to a new year with oodles of limited-time treats!
Raspberry Dole Whip
New Year’s Eve in Disney World is a little different this year. The theme parks are closing before midnight and guests are encouraged to celebrate from their resort. Plus, Disney has been releasing a few special treats! So far, we tried the surprisingly tasty Animal Kingdom 2021 cupcake and a surprisingly underwhelming Strawberry Champagne cupcake. (Two of them actually!) We found ANOTHER surprise New Year’s Eve treat today at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
It’s happening! 2021 is almost here! *cue the fanfare*
New Year’s Eve Cupcake
We’ve all been waiting patiently to give 2020 the boot. In celebration, we’re trying a few New Year’s Eve specialties that will help us welcome the new year. The Animal Kingdom New Year’s cupcake was WILDLY delish and the Strawberry Champagne cupcake was incredibly photogenic. We’re heading to the islands at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to try another Insta-worthy New Year’s treat!
Even though there won’t be a fireworks show in Disney World for New Year’s Eve this year, there are SO many ways to ring in 2021!
Cinderella Castle
Several Disney Springs restaurants are having special events, certain resort restaurants are staying open past midnight, and so much more. And now, we just found a special surprise that showed up on a few menus at Disney resorts!
As with many things this year, New Year’s Eve is sure to look a bit different in Disney World this time around!
Cinderella Castle
From the Candlelight Processional in EPCOT to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom, a number of fan-favorite holiday offerings in Disney World have been canceled this year in the interest of health and safety. So, with New Year’s Eve drawing near, will guests have an opportunity to experience fireworks as part of the festivities?
