Holidays at the Downtown Disney West Side

The holidays are some of the biggest times of the year for the Walt Disney World® Resort. In fact, some of the parks’ single busiest days fall on holidays, particularly Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year’s Eve and the 4th of July. While you might find larger than normal crowds on these days, Walt Disney World® Resort capitalizes by adding special events on many of these days to appease the throngs of visitors, even at the Downtown Disney® Area.

Both the 4th of July and New Year’s Eve are two of the busiest days for the Walt Disney World® Resort Theme Parks, as we mentioned above, so the Downtown Disney® West Side has special events for all of the guests that do not have tickets to one of the Walt Disney World® Resort Theme Parks but still want a piece of the magic on these two special holidays. On New Year’s Eve, there are multiple activities that go on throughout the day to entertain the multitudes of guests who embark on a day there, including extended shopping hours, live entertainment in front of Wetzel’s Pretzels and a dazzling fireworks display that can be seen over the Buena Vista Lagoon from the nearby New Year’s Eve Illuminations spectacular at Epcot®! That is just where the fun begins, as the entire Downtown Disney® Area is treated to a special fireworks display of its own every 4th of July at approximately 10:30 p.m.

Another popular day for the Downtown Disney® West Side is guests’ birthdays. While the Disney Parks started a campaign this year that allows everyone complimentary admission to one theme park on their big day, the Downtown Disney area is still a popular destination in which to celebrate a birthday. If you are looking for a place to eat your birthday meal, the Downtown Disney West Side has a plethora of options, from the Bongos Cuban Café to the world-renowned Wolfgang Puck Café. Entertainment is at your fingertips as well, whether you want to celebrate with a show at the House of Blues of Cirque du Soleil’s La Nouba or at the House of Blues or unwind with a movie at the AMC Pleasure Island 24 Theatres Complex. And of course, the West Side’s unique gift shops are the perfect place to find a birthday souvenir to take back home with you!
