Disney Countdown to Midnight (Recommended for Adults Without Kids)

Taking place in the Fantasia Ballroom from 8:00 PM – 12:15 AM, this party invites guests to dress up and dance the night away. A DJ provides music throughout the evening, with decor including a Mickey Mouse mirror ball and Disney character topiaries. Mickey and Minnie Mouse also make a special appearance at this New Year’s Eve bash.

Ink and Paint Club experience (Add-on to Disney Countdown to Midnight)

This special experience, taking place from 7:00 PM – 12:15 AM, is offered as a VIP enhancement to the Disney Countdown to Midnight party. Located adjacent to the Fantasia Ballroom, the reception begins before the main event. “At the Ink and Paint Club, guests will step back in time into a vintage Disney Animation-inspired room with silver Chiavari chairs, metallic tables and references to classic Disney Animation filling the room,” says Disney. “Ticketed guests can visit the lounge throughout the evening, starting with a featured reception from 7:00 – 8:00 PM.”

Other highlights from the Ink and Paint Club include:

  • Photo opportunities with Mickey and Minnie Mouse in front of a unique Disney Animation backdrop.
  • Chef stations serving king crab, tuna tartare, and sheep’s milk ricotta gnocchi, as well as cocktails, Champagne, and more (included with admission).
  • Reserved seating at the Disney Countdown to Midnight party.

The Disney Countdown to Midnight party + Ink and Paint Club experience is $450 total per guest. The Ink and Paint Club experience cannot be purchased separately and must be purchased with the Disney Countdown to Midnight ticket. It cannot be added at a later date.
