If you’re looking to bear the crowds for the sake of spending New Year’s Eve at the Most Happiest Place on Earth, we salute you. Spending NYE at the parks can be a crowded and stressful time, but with a good plan and plenty of patience to wait out the day, you can count down to the New Year surrounded by the high-caliber entertainment and splendor you can only find at Disneyland Resort. In fact, guests at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure can celebrate two countdowns––one on Eastern time and again at midnight! If you’re looking to plan ahead––and we cannot stress planning enough––you can check out each park’s hours, entertainment schedules, and fireworks times below.
