In case you wanted to ring in the new year with Indian-style Bread Service or Thai Coconut Meatballs, you’re in LUCK!
While New Year’s Eve is certainly going to look a LOT different this year, Disney World announced that quick-service restaurants, pool bars, and lounges at its resorts will be open late for the holiday!
All year long, holiday after holiday has been SUPER different at Disney, but holiday after holiday, the parks have risen to the occasion and added magical moments in unique (and yummy!) new ways!
Naturally, we’ve wondered what New Year’s Eve would look like at the end of this roller coaster of a year, and we recently got some answers on hours and fireworks!
Although the parks won’t be open as late as they normally would be and there won’t be fireworks to kick-off the new year, Disney World has announced that resort quick-service restaurants, pool bars, and lounges WILL be open late! Until after midnight!
So fear not, because you can STILL get your Champagne fix at PLENTY of restaurants and lounges in Disney, because we’re ALL gonna want to raise a glass to 2021 — and GOODBYE to 2020!
Whether you want to enjoy a lavish dinner from a restaurant like Sanaa Lounge, a festive cocktail at The Wave Lounge, or EPIC nachos at Capt. Cook’s, you’ve got options!
Heck, even just getting a Mickey Mouse Celebration Cake from Beach Club Marketplace and eating it in our room sounds pretty darn perfect! It’s been a YEAR. Cake dinner is what we need.
No matter what you’re craving for NYE, Disney World has got a way to celebrate!
Could we see fireworks for NYE at Disney World? Here’s what we know!
