NYE Fireworks

[AmyBWV99]

Does the MK do their NYE fireworks show on the 30th and the 31st? They do their 4th of July show on the 3rd and the 4th, so we thought they might on NYE as well.

Thanks!

Oddly, there seems to be MORE going on at MK the night before NYE than there is on NYE itself. According to the WDW website, the schedule at MK for 12/30 is as follows:

Fantasy In The Sky Fireworks - 12:00am
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Parade - 12:30pm, 3:30pm
"SpectroMagic" Parade - 7:00pm, 10:30pm
Wishes™ Nighttime Spectacular - 8:30pm​

That's some schedule, and there is also an AM AND a PM EMH scheduled that day, making the operating hours 7am to 3am.

On the 31st, New Year's Eve, there is an AM EMH, but no PM EMH (but the park is open until 1am). Here is the schedule of events for 12/31:

Fantasy In The Sky Fireworks - 12:00am
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Parade - 12:30pm, 3:30pm
"SpectroMagic" Parade - 9:00pm, 11:00pm​

so it looks like Wishes will be shown on the 30th, but not the 31st - I'm guessing that the NYE fireworks MAY be more spectacular than the ones the night before, but I could be wrong. In any case, I will be at MK on the 30th, not NYE !

Thanks for the reply. Do you think it's odd that they're doing the Christmas parade days after Christmas?

Two years ago, my son and I were at the MK on the night before NYE expecting to see the regular Wishes show. Instead, we got a preview of the NYE fireworks. They were 360 degrees around the MK. It was awesome! I am glad that we got to see it, b/c my son got sick on NYE.

When we were there for NYE 2002, I did not notice extra fireworks on 12/30, but on 12/31 NYE - there were more fireworks than I have ever witnessed in my life. Luckily, we were not there to ride the rides - because it was also the most people I had ever witnesses in a theme park. We were shoulder to shoulder literally. I was glad we did it once, but once was enough for me. It was fun though.
