Guests visiting Walt Disney World Resort this holiday season will “roar in” the New Year. That’s because Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park will be open until midnight to celebrate New Year’s Eve on December 31, 2019.
Throughout the night, you’ll find special New Year’s Eve-themed food and drinks, while DJs in Asia, Discovery Island and DinoLand U.S.A. will keep the party pumping!
As midnight approaches everyone can gather around Discovery Island and Asia to watch a special New Year’s Eve countdown on the iconic Tree of Life. Energetic music and lighting displays will welcome in 2020.
Guests can also get into the fun with special pin trading opportunities, plus a limited-edition New Year’s Eve pin available beginning that evening. Subject to change and based on availability.
The park’s New Year’s Eve celebration will cap off a thrilling season of all-new holiday experiences at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Be on the lookout for festive new décor in every land, enjoy unforgettable winter projections on the Tree of Life, get into the holiday spirit with your favorite characters in DinoLand U.S.A. and more. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a place you will want to visit this holiday season!
