...Unfortunately you won't be able to this year. As opposed to previous years, the Innoventions building will be closing just a few minutes before 9:00pm Pacific Time (12:00am Eastern). So, in essence you won't be able to ring in the New Year with your friends on the East Coast, or with anyone else for that matter. 
The following reply by Disneyland says it all...
