We are staying at the beach club again this New Year's Eve but we do not plan to go into the parks that night (have done it for many years but we want to relax at the resort and try to see Epcot and HS fireworks)
Do you think there will be any activities for new year eve at that resort ... Last year I think they had a party that was not too expensive.
Thanks !!!!

 

[DisneyWishes14]

Thank you SO much! This is awesome. yulilin3, you are the best!

 

[loves to dive]

Thanks for the info. I've been going to WDW for over 30 years and will be there the 19th thru the 23rd for my first Chirstmas there. It was a last minutes decision made on Friday but I'm excited to try to get to some of the resorts to see what's going on. We are staying at the Dolphin so at least we can walk over to BW and YC/BC.

Thank you!! So happy to see that there will be performers and characters during our stay at the Boardwalk in two weeks!
