New Years 2010 is a big one.  The first double digit year of the millennium should be welcomed in style, and what better way to ring in the New Year than by visiting one of the most exciting places on earth - Orlando, Florida.

Orlando’s stable of incredible theme parks including famous Walt Disney World have provided the backdrop to some epic New Years celebrations.

So what does Orlando have in queue for New Years 2010?  I’d like to provide a synopsis of Orlando’s upcoming celebrations as well as reasons why an Orlando vacation should be your target New Years Eve celebration destination.

Walt Disney World - Each of Disney’s theme parks has a distinct and fun filled celebration planned for New Years Eve.   All parks are open past midnight for the special occasion.

• The Magic Kingdom : The Magic Kingdom will once again bring back the acclaimed ‘Fantasy in the Sky’ fireworks show from retirement to ring in 2010.  Fantasy in the Sky’s  fiery pyrotechnics and creative lighting  are sure to blast off a great start to 2010.

• Epcot : Epcot will feature an end of the year laser light show called ‘Illuminations: Reflections of Earth” at 11:40 p.m., just before the clock strikes 12.  Reflections of Earth is a tranquil and entrancing way to ring in 2010, as flowing fountains and vibrant flames capture your imagination.
