Posted in EVERYTHING DISNEY with tags , on March 9, 2013 by disneychronicles

I am really amazed at how far out I have been booking Disney Vacations this year! I think everyone is realizing they MUST do a trip to the happiest place on earth!

I obviously couldn’t agree more! but now as I am not so patiently waiting for MNSSHP and MVMCP tickets to come out I have come across questions for New Years! WOW!

So in the spirit of booking far far in advance I will give you an option for NEW YEARS..that you may have not realized existed!

New Year’s Eve Party at DisneyQuest

You can spend New Year’s Eve in the parks (all except for Disney’s Animal Kingdom are usually open until midnight or later on December 31) with tens of thousands of your new best friends.

Or instead you and your family can spend it at DisneyQuest at Downtown Disney. There’s food, DJs and characters on hand to help you bring in the New Year.

DisneyQuest features five floors of interactive fun with video games and special rides like CyberSpace Mountain. There’s also a confetti drop at midnight.

Reservations are required,  the 2012 rate was $47 per person. (2013 is not announced yet).

So keep an eye out, tickets do sell out fast!
