New Years Eve will be here before we know it, and it’s sure to look a bit different in Disney World this year!

Last year, the parks closed earlier than they normally would, but this year, they’re staying open late again. EPCOT and Hollywood Studios are open until 12AM and Magic Kingdom is open until 1AM. There are also a few celebrations taking place over at Disney Springs at places like The Edison and Raglan Road Irish Pub. And, the first official party was just announced for a Disney World hotel!

Disney’s Contemporary hotel will host a special event called A Golden New Year’s Eve in Wine Country up at California Grill!  The Napa Room of the restaurant will be transformed into an eclectic speakeasy and will feature a slight-of-hand magician performing while you sip on wine and custom crafted cocktails.

Over in the Sonoma Room, you can see Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Baby New Year Donald! There will also be a DJ and a roaming violinist playing at the event. Between the 2 rooms, you’ll find 50th Anniversary food stations which will have food that honors the legacy of California Grill chefs. Take a trip down memory lane as you dine on some favorite offerings from the last 50 years. Here’s a look at some of the menu highlights:
