This New Years Eve In Techno Town

Here's the Blog's annual roundup of New Years Eve events to consider.  Refer to individual websites for full details and advance ticket orders.

DOWNTOWN ORLANDO
The NYE's party at Tier Nightclub combines Top 40 & Dance from premier local DJ A-Rock and DJ Nova.   ($40)
More of a Hip Hop slant for partiers at Vain Nightclub with Glen Davis and Daphne Joy.  ($20 until 12, $40 until 12 with open bar, $60 with open bar all night.)
Suite B Lounge has House music all night with DJ's Andre R, Jhon Alvarez and Cheyenne M.
(Until 11:30pm $10, After $15)
Wall Street Plaza is the place to get 9 venues for the price of one although there is only dancing in a few of them.  This usually sells out.
($25)  
Independent Bar is having their annual 80's Prom Night and admission is half price if you dress in prom attire!  ($10)
House and Dance music from DJ's Justin Faze and Adam Flurk at Vintage Lounge on Orange Avenue.  ($10)
Another multi-venue event takes place on Church Street and includes admission to Chillers, Big Belly Brewery and Lattitudes.  Unfortunately, the closed Antigua is no longer there.  Also, home of the Orange Drop at midnight!
(Click on flyer to see the numerous admission/drink packages offered.) 
The Attic has increasingly gone EDM and Saturday night resident DJ Bingoballs returns on NYE for more of it!  ($40)
At 180 Grey Goose Lounge atop Amway Center admission will get you unlimited drinks, hors d'oeuvres and a private fireworks show.  As most of the fun is outside, check the weather first!   ($75)
INTERNATIONAL DRIVE
B.B. Kings Blues Club will give you a table and feed you a 3-course meal for their NYE package ft. their All-Star blues band.  
($80 Package; Standing Room with no meal is $40)
Down the road at the Rosen Plaza Hotel's Backstage Night Club they are having a Roaring 20's Party ft. a live band and DJ LaPause.
($10 Advance, $20 Door)
WALT DISNEY WORLD
BOARDWALK
The most crowded night of the year at Atlantic Dance Hall is their NYE party ft. DJ Tony Z (Planet Hollywood).  (Advance tickets at (407) 934-7639 cost $39 GA and $85 VIP.)  The latter gets you upstairs with dessert and a view of EPCOT fireworks.
EPCOT CENTER
At least 4 dance parties at EPCOT with one in Future World and three in World Showcase.  The big fun is outside China with DJ Dominick Morrison (Mannequins, Vintage) spinning Top 40/Dance and outside Italy with DJ Mark Sanchez (Club V, Firestone Live) spinning House/Dance! There's a Latin dance party outside America.
