Club Reports: New Years Eve @ Disney

There were many great New Years Eve options around Orlando last night but for the 7th year in a row I decided to spend it with the Mouse.
Beginning the night at the annual NYE bash at Atlantic Dance Hall.
The price was well-more than prior years but in exchange for the higher price they had an expanded menu that included not only desserts but also antipasto and other cold items.....
But also hot items like pot stickers, taco bar, flat breads and more!
Plus the admission price included two drinks from the bars. So it was really a pretty good deal.
Now onto the party! First time seeing DJ Lindsey Leigh (USA) spinning.
A lot of EDM early in her set.
Switching to more Hip Hop hits after midnight.
Admission this year was capped at 350 and the event sold out!
First time hearing a DJ set from Lindsey Leigh. I previously only knew her as a vocalist for the Andre Caram Band at Pleasure Island as seen here.
Wobble baby Wobble!
OK, headed to EPCOT. But first, dropping by the family dance party at Disney's Boardwalk Resort.
On approach.
Party being led by DJ Tony Z (USA).
The music Top 40, EDM and line dances.
"Party Rock" is in the house tonight!
Everybody's shuffling!
Of course we know Tony Z mostly from his days at Atlantic Dance Hall as seen here.
Great opportunity for families to party together!
Tony Z as animated as I've ever seen him!
A good time was had by all!
Headed to EPCOT now and into Future World.
Starting the action at the Fountain Stage.
On approach.
DJ Charles Miles (USA) leading the event here.
The music mostly Top 40 old and new.
Big crowd on hand!
Amazing when you hear 10-yr old kids singing the lyrics to "Bohemian Rhapsody"!
Of course we know Charles Miles from DJ events not only here at Disney but also over at Universal.
A good time was had by all!
Outside Spaceship Earth, the silent disco was happening.
With DJ Elliot (USA) broadcasting on the Green channel while DJ GabsNicole (USA) was broadcasting at the same time on the Red channel!
Patrons wore headphones and could listen and dance to either channel of music!
Of course we know GabsNicole from the Kids Dance Party at Disney Springs as seen here. Of course we know DJ Elliot from downtown Orlando clubs, Disney events around the globe as well as at MegaCon after parties as seen here.
Mostly green lights out there, lol.
Spotted listening to the Green channel: Lindsay
Spotted at the barrier: Save Pleasure Island Blog roving reporters Thommy and William forward & Sherry, Earl and Marco aft.
Now into EPCOT's World Showcase to the dance party at America.
On approach.
DJ Carlos Carrion (USA) on the decks, alternating with a live band.
Packed here too!
The music Top 40 and Latin.
A good time was had by all!
Now into the United Kingdom.
DJ Scott Robert (USA) behind the podium.
The music mostly Classic Dance during my visit!
Thank you for playing Rozalla's "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)", the final song ever at Mannequins!
Plus other great songs from 95.3Party.
Of course we know Scott Robert as a resident DJ at Parliament House as well from over at Pulse as seen here.
The peeps want EDM!
Spotted on the dance floor: Randy Randy
No one was talking Brexit as I passed through!
A good time was had by all!
But wait, there was more! Next stop, China.
On approach.
Packed to the rafters!
Thanks to DJ Dominick Morrison (USA).
The music mostly EDM.
There's always an amazing vibe here!
If you're not doing EPCOT for NYE, you're really missing out!
Of course we know The Dom from not only his prior residency at Mannequins, but also from downtown clubs such as The Beacham, The Social and Aero as seen here.
At China they have this awesome smoke-belching dragon!
Close up.
And flame-throwers light the sky during many of the songs' drops!
The peeps want EDM.!
A good time was had by all!
Last EPCOT stop this year was at Italy.
On approach.
Through the haze, DJ Mark Sanchez (USA).
His set mostly EDM and House.
Packed to the rafters here too!
Of course we know Mark Sanchez from the classic Breaks scene in Daytona and Orlando as seen here.
He always delivers big crowds!
 All taking place on the piazza.
While China has the dragon, Italy has lasers!
Fun on the dance floor!
The peeps want EDM!
 Left left left left; Right right right right!

A good time was had by all!
Instead of watching the midnight fireworks from EPCOT and then getting stuck in the mass exit, I headed back to ADH early to close-out the night with DJ Lindsey Leigh!
Dance floor was still jammed!
Now out onto the balcony to watch the EPCOT fireworks from afar.
Not as impressive as from up close, I'll say that.
Happy New Year from Save Pleasure Island Blog!
Everywhere I went last night, a good time was had by all!
