There are plenty of things to do in the Orlando theme parks that do not involve waiting in long lines or buying souvenirs. Our theme parks have something for everyone, including a great nightlife. From great restaurants to bars and nightclubs, there is something to do for the older crowds looking for a different kind of entertainment. Both Universal Studios Orlando Resort and Walt Disney World have spots for you to check out when you want to dance the night away, have a drink or just enjoy the view.

Over at Disney’s Boardwalk, you have two great entertainment options. For hardcore dancers out there, check out the Atlantic Dance Hall. It plays all kinds of music and hosts special guest DJ’s and bands. Guests have to be 21 and older to get in so you can dance to the best music from the 80’s, 90’s and today. Tuesday through Saturday nights, not only do you get to request your favorite songs, but their videos will also be played on the giant screens inside the Atlantic Dance Hall. If you like your entertainment with a little less dance, check out Jelly Rolls. This dueling piano bar is also for guests 21 and over since alcohol is served at the establishment. Guests can give the piano maestros their requests and see if they will be the one to stump them.

If you’re in Universal Studios Orlando Resort and you head over to CityWalk, you will also find some great places to hang out and enjoy the nightlife. First, there’s the award-winning Latin Quarter, where you can sample cuisine from 21 different Latin American nations while dining in a restaurant inspired by Aztec, Incan and Mayan architecture. Tuesday through Saturdays DJ’s play Latin and Reggaeton music from 6:30 to 10:00 pm. If you would rather enjoy a lounge vibe, head over to the Hard Rock for their Velvet Bar. This lounge, decorated with zebra print chairs, red carpets, purple accents and rock memorabilia also features outside veranda seating. As a special treat during Halloween Horror Nights, anyone with a Horror Nights ticket can come to the Velvet Bar and enjoy Happy Hour specials from 5pm-2am. There is plenty of Orlando nightlife to enjoy; these examples are just the beginning!

In Orlando, theme parks are the place to be during the holidays. With special decorations, shows, parades and fireworks there is something for everyone to enjoy. New Years Eve is something different altogether. Many like to send out the old and ring in the new with a drink or two, and OrlandoFunTickets.com has all the latest and greatest details on the New Year’s Eve party scene. So not only is OrlandoFunTickets.com your one-stop shop for cheap theme park tickets, we are experts on non-park holiday events too!

The Walt Disney World Resort has been your seasonal headquarters since late November, and for New Year’s Eve the spotlight shifts over to Downtown Disney for the annual year-end party at Pleasure Island. This classic street party features great live music on the streets and in all seven nightclubs, dancing inside and out, a gourmet buffet, party hats, noisemakers and a countdown with champagne toast at midnight when special New Year’s fireworks will light up the sky. This is a separate ticket event, and guests will have the streets and clubs of Pleasure Island all to themselves. All partiers must be over 21.

Over at the Universal Orlando Resort, the 21 and up crowd will be reveling in the New Year at Universal’s City Walk, your “ultimate party destination.” This party features admission and live bands performing in all of CityWalk’s clubs, including Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, Pat O’Briens, CityJazz and more. The one price admission gives guests an all-you-can-eat gourmet buffet with favorites like filet mignon, jumbo shrimp, crab legs, paella and mouth-watering desserts. Party hats and noisemakers will be provided to help guests ring in the new year with the fabulous fireworks show and champagne toast at midnight. And if that all wasn’t enough, this party features special live performances by the B-52s and Foreigner!

So, if ending 2007 at one of your favorite Orlando theme parks isn’t what you would prefer, check out the great bar-hopping street parties at Downtown Disney’s Pleasure Island or Universal’s City Walk. If live music and great food is how you think of New Year’s Eve, either one of these parties would be great for you.
