Celebrate New Year’s in the Orlando Parks
If you’re traveling to Orlando over New Year’s with little ones in tow who have a passion for all things Legos and creativity, a stop at LEGOLAND is a chance for their imaginations to soar! This year, the park will once again be putting on its annual Kids’ New Year’s Eve fireworks show over Lake Eloise. It will feature a fantastic lineup of colorful bricks illuminated in the night sky in a display that promises to captivate! The show doesn’t go on until 8:00 pm so before then, guests are free to enjoy the park rides, visit Lego-building stations, and make the most of holiday-themed beverages and snacks on-site too.

For many travelers, it’s hard to imagine a trip to Orlando without time well spent at Walt Disney World. It’s fair to say that the Disney theme parks have a special way of creating magical moments and New Year’s Eve here is no exception to that rule. Parks typically stay open to midnight on New Year’s Eve so guests can enjoy more rides, and attractions, and get ready for a one-of-a-kind fireworks display when the clock strikes 12. Guests will find plenty of holiday surprises during their New Year’s visit including light displays, fun performances, and pop-up character meet-and-greet events. The “Fantasy in the Sky” fireworks display is sure to delight, and you won’t want to miss Cinderella’s Castle being set aglow in a dazzling display at midnight as well. Fantastic holiday desserts will be served up at Tomorrowland Terrace for the festivities and over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, guests can watch the Santa Claus Merry Motorcade run along Hollywood Boulevard on the 31st. Making the experience even more fun is the fact that the Hollywood Tower Hotel will be lit up in colorful style for New Year’s Eve too!
