Disneyland Resort celebrates the New Year
No New Yearโs parties planned this year? ย You might consider celebrating at theย Disneylandยฎ Resortย on New Yearโs Eve. This year, there will be special entertainment added to the traditional holiday fireworks in Disneylandยฎ park and the spectacular newย โWorld of Colorโ show in Disney California Adventureยฎ park.
In Disneylandยฎ park, hours are extended to 2 a.m., and stages will be set up around the park for countdown festivities. DJs will encourage guests to dance into the new year at Sleeping Beauty Castle and “it’s small world” Promenade while live bands will liven up Tomorrowland Terrace, Carnation Plaza Gardens andย New Orleans Square, which will also be the site of three performances ofย โFantasmic!โ at 9 and 10:15 p.m. and immediately following the midnight โFantasy in the Skyโ New Yearโs fireworks show.
At Disney California Adventureยฎ, where park hours are extended to 1 a.m., there will be special entertainment along the Paradise Pier boardwalk and a โfountains and fireworksโ countdown to midnight in Paradise Park, immediately followed by the first โWorld of Colorโ show of 2011. (Earlier New Yearโs Eve performances of โWorld of Colorโ will take place at 8 and 9:15 p.m.) In Hollywood Pictures Backlot, revelers on the grid inย โElecTRONicaโwill heat up throughout the night and into the new year.
Beginning at 6 p.m. New Yearโs Eve, party hats and noisemakers will be available while supplies last in both Disneylandยฎ park, at the Festival Arena near Big Thunder Ranch, and Disney California Adventureยฎ park, in Condor Flats near the vintage airplane just west of the entrance toย Soarinโ Over California.
Theย Downtown Disneyยฎ District and the Disneylandยฎ Resort hotels will join in the merriment with twinkling lights and ornaments, special entertainment and holiday dining.
