Happy New Year from The One and Only Genuine Family Blog! We have spent two different New Years at Disney but for 2018/2019 we are sitting it out safe, warm, and at home.

| December 31. 2017 Contemporary Resort lobby display |
Back when 2000 turned into 2001 we spent most of the evening sitting on the Disneyland hub in front of the castle waiting for the countdown...eventually it became standing room only.

| Disneyland, December 31, 2000 |
It was so packed and we spent so much time just waiting that we have never tried to experience NYE from inside a park again! The New Year's crowds are insane inside and out of the parks.

| Walt Disney World Contemporary Resort December 31, 2017 |
We were at Walt Disney World to see 2017 turn into 2018 last year and and it was quite the experience. Our vantage point for the New Year's eve fireworks was from an exterior staircase balcony landing at the Contemporary Resort Hotel. The three videos below give a taste of what it is like looking at the New Year's revelry across Tomorrowland to Cinderella Castle from the Contemporary Resort. The perimeter bursts (seen in the second video) are spectacular and the entire show was amazing. It was unseasonably cold last year, we had a great time, but we did not try to go back this year.
