Event Details

Date: December 31, 2024

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.

Louisiana is an open carry state.

But you couldn't afford the bodyguard that you'd need.

Only if you want it to be. There is much more about NOLA than what is confined to the Bourbon St area.

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

Vacationing at the Big Easy is a wild drunken time with great jazz, drinks and food . What those ladies will do to get those beads! We didn't venture outside the Quarter late night where we were warned not to go to.

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.

At least it is so expensive Disney will have tons of open spots to invite Tim Tracker and other Vloggers to drum up business for next year. 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

DWifey and myself have only been to NOLA twice, and our kiddos only once, so I’m not familiar with those places and had to Google. The Funky Pirate is permanently closed, but Tropical Isle is still there. We had hurricanes at Pat O’Brien’s when we were there for our youngest DDs 21st birthday in Sept. of 2015, among other things. A kinda’ funny story… DWifey and I were in NOLA for the first time in Dec. of 1990, for our 2nd wedding anniversary. At the time, she was early in pregnancy with our first daughter. One morning we decided to check out Ripley’s Believe It or Not! (we also took a boat ride on the Mississippi and a cemetery bus tour). We were about halfway through the labyrinth that is the way it’s laid out, when my DWifey started to feel morning sickness coming on. She quickly went ahead to find a ladies room. She was taking quite a while, so I quickened my pace. Shortly after, I basically just walked straight through the rest of the place, and didn’t see one restroom. When I got outside, she was sitting on the curb with a cop questioning her…she had puked in the gutter, and he thought she was some random woman who was still drunk/hungover from the night before…!!!!! :hilarious: We finally convinced the cop that she was just experiencing morning sickness, and went along our merry way back to our hotel, so DWifey could chill for a bit. We still joke about it, to this day…!!! :) Also, my apologies for the thread drift.
