Our friend Regina sent us this info on a New Year’s Eve celebration at Disney’s EPCOT Center. It looks to be a wonderful evening of dinner and dancing! If you would like to know more, or to make reservations, call 407-WDW-DINE.

The Carnation Garden

Description: Welcome to our restaurant, the Carnation Garden. The dining experience for New Year’s Eve at Epcot is a tribute to our original Disneyland Parks Golden Anniversary. When Disneyland First opened in 1955, All they had for a music stage was a small gazebo in Frontierland. Well, the Holiday season and the beautiful music drew such large crowds that in 1957, the Carnation Garden Stage, right next to Sleeping Beauty’s castle was born. After the Holiday season, to draw guests to the stage, Walt and his team started “Date Night.” We have a great variety of delicious food for you this evening and a special buffet just for you.

Happy New Year!
