Hi Alexa! Welcome to planDisney!
A visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort during the holiday season is the perfect time to enjoy a few magical extras. The parks and resorts are decorated with festive decor, and you can usually find some holiday treats along the way.
Based on the information I was able to gather, it seems as though your reservation for the
Magic Kingdom Dessert Party should be fine for the special fireworks display that evening. Happily Ever After will be replaced with Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks, which is a special presentation for New Year's. Typically, you will check in about 60 minutes before the fireworks show begins. A Cast Member will direct you to the prime standing area in the Plaza Garden, which will then be followed by the dessert party. There are two showtimes of this show on this night, so make sure to check your confirmation email for the exact time you need to be there.
Keep an eye out for updates to the parade schedule during your visit. At this time, no showtimes are listed, although I expect this to change once you get closer to your arrival. With the recent debut of the
new nighttime parade, I highly suggest carving out some time to catch this during your trip. This parade dazzles under the night sky with bright lights and creative floats. Try to snag a spot somewhere along Main Street, U.S.A. for the perfect backdrop!
I hope you have an amazing time during your stay, Alexa!
