Magic Kingdom: December 30 and 31
Fantasy in the Sky is listed for 6:30 p.m. and 11:50 p.m. on both nights. That gives you four scheduled performances across the two dates, including an earlier option if midnight is too late.
The December 30 shows give you another date to plan around. They are not a promise of lighter crowds or guaranteed park entry.
EPCOT: December 31
Luminous The Symphony of Us is listed at 6:30 p.m. Cheers to the New Year: A Sparkling Celebration follows at 11:54 p.m., leading into the countdown.
Hollywood Studios: December 31
New Year Countdown Fireworks at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is listed for 11:57 p.m.
For us in Aruba
Florida is on standard time in December. Aruba stays on Atlantic Standard Time, so we are one hour ahead. A 6:30 p.m. park show is 7:30 p.m. in Aruba.
The December 31 late shows convert to January 1 in Aruba: Magic Kingdom at 12:50 a.m., EPCOT at 12:54 a.m. and Hollywood Studios at 12:57 a.m. Magic Kingdom’s December 30 late show is 12:50 a.m. on December 31 in Aruba. These are clock conversions, not livestream announcements.
Recheck before making your final plan
These times are attributed to WDWMAGIC’s October 28 schedule report. WDWNT reports the same times, but matching reports do not establish separate confirmation from Disney. Disney’s calendar did not allow December 30 or 31 to be selected during our check, so we could not independently verify those dated listings.
Entertainment schedules can change. Check Disney’s Hours & Events Calendar or My Disney Experience closer to your visit. No DJ lineup or additional party entertainment is confirmed by this report.
