Universal Orlando Resort Guests hoping to ring in the New Year with a massive party will have to look elsewhere this year.

While it has been assumed for quite some time, Universal Orlando Resort had not officially confirmed that its annual New Year’s Eve party at Universal’s CityWalk — called EVE– would not be taking place this year.

Hey there! EVE at Universal CityWalk will not be taking place this year, however, Guests can enjoy special New Year’s Eve menu items at select Universal CityWalk dining locations, as well as buffet options, meal specials and live entertainment at our Universal Orlando hotels.
