Well, the holiday season will soon come to a close in Disney World, but we’ve still got one HUGE 2024 event to celebrate.
EPCOT New Year’s Eve
That’s New Year’s Eve, when we ring out the old year and ring in the New. Now, New Year’s Eve can be a BLAST in Disney World with three out of the four parks celebrating in some way with special New Year’s Eve fireworks. However, EPCOT goes a little overboard with its celebration and brings in a lot of fun, like DJs, dance parties, and more. Well, we’ve started to see the first of preparations for EPCOT’s big party!
New Year’s Eve in EPCOT brings dance parties around World Showcase where you can dance your way into 2025. EPCOT is preparing for all sorts of fun events! We’ve seen a few tents set up, and these could be for the upcoming Festival of the Arts celebration in January or the New Year’s Eve party!
Is this a DJ booth?
We spotted another tent in Italy.

We also noticed some new lighting rigs installed overhead that will be used during the big celebration. Can’t have New Year’s Eve without lots of colorful lights, right? Here’s the lighting rig we saw in China.

There’s one in Italy, too. These are likely going to be dance floors on the big night.

If you will be in EPCOT for New Year’s Eve, you’ll also want to catch the early showing of Luminous — The Symphony of Us at 6:30PM before the “Cheers to the New Year: A Sparkling Celebration” starts off with its countdown at 11:54PM. There’s a good chance that EPCOT could fill to capacity on December 31st, so if you want in on the party, you’ll need to get to the park early and stick around until evening.
