Summary   To-Do List   Sat   Sun   Mon   Tues   Weds   Thurs   Fri   Sat   Sun

Today you begin early at the Studios, have the afternoon off, and return to the park by 5pm. As a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel guest, special New Year’s Eve hours let you stay in the  park until 3am!!

You need to be at your hotel bus stop by 7:20a.

In the morning, you will first see Toy Story Mania, and then see the shows you missed on Sunday, fitting in rides in between. In the evening, the spectacular fireworks show Fantasmic is the main event, but you will also finish seeing the rides and get to re-ride your favorites. The park will be open tonight until 3am for you as a Disney Resort guest

FIRST THINGS

Be at your hotel bus stop by 7:20 am, and catch the bus to Disney’s Hollywood Studios

AT THE PARK: MORNING

• Arrive at the park by 8am
• Get in line and await the opening
• At opening, pick up a guide map and “Times Guide” (a show schedule), and head for Toy Story Mania and ride
