Hi all!
Those anybody know if there's something special about this years New Years evening @ DLRP?
I will visit the park from 30-12 until 1-1, so i hope there will be some celebrating events!
Thx for your information!
Kind regards,
Soap :)
Welcome to the magicforum! :wink:
I don't know any specific details, but Disneyland Park will be open until 1am as usual, with a special firework display at midnight and lots of music and dancing around Central Plaza in the hours before and after.
The strange thing about New Year is that no-one seems to know much before the night itself. The last few years we've only found out the fireworks music at midnight itself - there's usually very few rumours.
Ok, i'll wait and see!! :P
Thx for your kind welcome!
If you want an idea of what the new year's fireworks are like, here's a photos magiques video from 2005 (or maybe 2004):

There's a website somewhere with videos from more previous years, I can't remember it right now though.. :roll:
WOW..looking great!
I've been there myself a few years back, but i only remember it a little bit.
I was just a little boy then.....heheh... :lol:
I'm all excited now. My little brother and sister are at DLRP at the moment..darn i'm jealous!
:oops:
So does anyone have any guesses for the New Year Fireworks music? I was talking about it with Patrick last week and we basically guessed "Pirates" or "Pirates". :(
They won't use last year's Narnia music... maybe Cars? I still think Life Is A Highway would be good for new year's eve.
An ultra-cool fireworks would be if they mixed together some kind of 15th Anniversary preview show with Nemo, Cars, etc, like a "Welcome to the 15th Anniversary Year" show. But that'd be too good...

Well i guess Pirates is indeed an obvious choice.
Yes and a bad one, if it be Pirates music, that will be the third theme park fireworks display I will have seen this year using Pirates music if it is. I'm just a little sick of the music. Cars would be wonderful. Or why not make it a bit more classical by using when you wish upon a star and then adding in other songs from classic upbeat Disney movies. That would be a great idea, but then again I highly doubt it would ever happen. Just crossing my fingers for not another stupid idea like using Chronicles of narnia inspired music ](*,) .
I've been there last year, it was great!
Dancing on central plaza with all kinds of people from different countries :D And a bottle Champaign helps the fun too ;)

the bottle of champagne isn't a bad tip i guess :P
Leaving this friday, i'm hoping for steady weather with new years eve!!! :!:
If you take champagne into the park, it's better to put your bottle in a Disneyland bag, and put some stuff above it.
Most of the security people at the entrance, don't look so deep into your bag.
Just got back today - have a great New Years Eve guys :D
For those interested, here is the video I shot of the fireworks display from last night:

Have a great, wonderful and healthy 2007 everyone!
Oh No!!!
Did they really use the same Music as last year? I was there last year and I thought it was quite okay, but the same music now?
Narnia is not new anymore and the next one is far away...
I am very disappointed :(
Can anyone please tell how it was yesterday night?
Well, to be honest, I expected them to use the "Narnia-music" again since they used the Treasure Planet soundtrack for 3 consecutive New Year's Eve celebrations (2002, 2003 and 2004). Weather was terrible for a few hours in the evening, fortunately it stopped raining at around 23h00. Strong winds blew the exploding shells away from the castle very fast though. In my opinion it wasn't any more or less crowded then previous years.
Well, I just hope that everyone that managed to be there on new years eve had an absolutely stonking time!! :D
The fireworks were rubbish, totally inappropriate music and boring, small fireworks for such a major event. I might email DLRP later, I just feel they need a slap for being so lazy. But the DJ party (which I've always criticised) won me over... a conga reaching half way around central plaza is pretty good fun. :lol: Getting crushed beforehand wasn't fun though, and neither was the 12 hours stuck in a packed-to-bursting park trying to find something to do.
The weather has been absolutely awful the last 3 days, I'm surprised I didn't get ill arriving back at the hotel soaked through each night. You should have seen the rain last night during Fantillusion... :shock:
Overall a good new year's eve trip, but I won't be doing it again for a loooong time.

Haha the conga trips, I avoided them everytime I saw them get started, and really In the Navy and YMCA, what amazing music choices :lol: . Personally I loved how it made some stupid english people cringe when they heard the music. While I was waiting for the fireworks I heard from so many people moaning is this the best they can do, was stood thinking hello they could have not even bothered they did cancel in Edinburgh, Glasgow among other places their fireworks. It did surprise me they still went ahead, this could have been the reason for no majorly big shells :?: .
The music was rather boring, though I did enjoy the beginning where the countdown started and most english people around me, refused to count down in french, and then the whole welcome to narnia idea was rather cool. Personally what made the evening for me was the lighting effects on the castle and the lamps constantly flashing to the music all night :D . Also what was with the ferme 23h that the board kept saying? I kept on reriding Phantom Manor well until 11:30 :P .

Yeah, the lights choreographed to music were really good, I was very impressed with the whole DJ Party. Not at all the kind of music I'd choose to listen to, but for that night and to create an atmosphere, they got it spot on. :)
I really really liked the song(s) before the countdown (anyone know what it is?), and the "welcome to narnia" section itself was really good. I think that's what made me more annoyed they used the same shouty rock song, since the soundtrack has so many other better songs they could have easily slotted in, no mixing required. :roll:
Well, there was a strange "feeling" in the crowd after 00:00. There wasn't a real countdown and the fireworks where that short.
What happenend exactly??? Does somebody know?
I was standing in the middle of Gibsons and Casey's, but the thememusic of Narnia was so soft?
It looked as tho somebody lost control in controlling it all? :cry:
The dj party afterwards was indeed pretty cool and the Castle and lighting were impressive!!!! :lol:
The countdown was very quiet - I think people didn't quite hear it and so didn't join in. As soon as midnight struck everyone came alive though.
Apparently they only launched half the fireworks, on the Adventureland side, since the wind was blowing so strongly toward Discoveryland. I guess they did a pretty good job now I think about the horrible weather.
Thats true, the weather messed it all a bit up.
The countdown was indeed very quiet, but a well ehat the hack, i had a great time again :lol:
