2023 is HERE! Can you believe it?!
We’re ringing in the new year at EPCOT and Magic Kingdom and wanted to take you along with us. So let’s dive into all the celebrations happening at the parks!
Each year, Disney presents fireworks spectaculars to ring in the new year. Crowds show up full force to the parks on New Year’s Eve to celebrate and watch the stunning fireworks displays. Since we know that all of our readers can’t make it to the parks, we wanted to make sure you still had the opportunity to feel that special Disney magic from home! Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy some photos and videos of the New Year’s Eve fireworks and celebrations in Disney World with us! ✨
Magic Kingdom
The Fantasy in the Sky show hits the skies twice on both December 30th and December 31st. You can catch the show once at 6:30PM, with another viewing at 11:50PM.
The show features some amazing fireworks and pyrotechnics, as well as a countdown to midnight. (Yes, even at the early evening showing!)
The show is a special one to catch, and it definitely brings out the crowds to Magic Kingdom!
It’s TIME! We’ll see you in 2023! Happy New Year from Magic Kingdom! 🎆🎇 pic.twitter.com/dbkLRgOK0y

Before the midnight show, EPCOT celebrated the New Year’s Eve party with “NYE” illuminated on the Harmonious barges.

Throughout World Showcase, guests can join in for fun music and dancing at DJ dance parties at the different pavilions, including this one over at the China Pavilion.
