Entertainment and Atmosphere

Guests will step into the whimsical world of New Orleans with appearances by Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen, and a cast of beloved characters. While Tiana and Naveen are there to greet guests and sample cuisine, they're unaware that a few friends from the bayou—thanks to Mama Odie's magic—are crashing the party. Mama Odie's playful spells keep Tiana's friend Louis and other critters out of sight, but as the night progresses, Tiana may start to suspect something and enlist guests' help to solve the mystery.

Expect an evening filled with lively music, dancing, and a midnight champagne toast to welcome 2025.

A private fireworks cruise is a much better deal, and worth every penny.

PhonedaveNov 15, 2024

For that price, my wife and I could fly to New Orleans for the weekend. I'm sure there are people who will pay that price, and Disney will make money, but not from me.

spresso81Nov 15, 2024

I do not think I would pay anything over $199 for this and that is really only because the fireworks view. I may go up to $229 if they actually had a decent theme lol

Just bring back the brunch.

My95cobrasNov 12, 2024

For that price we should each get to boof a bottle of krug rose.

Best I can tell, no open bar. Just a champagne toast at midnight. For that price, it should include a bottle of Dom.

Without knowing the details of what they actually did, Alice in Wonderland feels like a much, much better fit for a potential adult party than this. The Tiana hidden animals thing very much describes something aimed at children.

That’s because it is. It’s supposed to be fun New Years event for Disney fans. They did one last year themed to Alice in Wonderland.

Yeah, it's a bizarre combination. The description of the event makes it sound like it's aimed at children. But $800 a head for a kid's event? And then the actual menu really doesn't look too friendly for the average child; it looks like something aimed at couples having a fancy NYE outing. It's just strange all around.

The price to be part of the exclusive Club 33 with access to all 4 private theme park locations at WDW is $35K joining fee and $16K annual dues per person. Food and drink not included. Price it and guests will and have joined.
