New Years Eve near Universal!
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to spend NYE while staying at Loew Royal Pacific? Stay at the resort for celebrations there or head to another resort or CityWalk?
Your help is appreciated!
Spending New Year’s Eve at Universal Orlando while staying at Loews Royal Pacific Resort can be a fun and lively experience, and there are several ways to celebrate depending on the atmosphere you’re looking for.
If you prefer to stay at your resort:
- Loews Royal Pacific typically hosts its own NYE festivities, including themed parties, live music, and special dining options. It’s convenient, avoids the large crowds in CityWalk, and gives a more relaxed, resort-centered celebration.
- The resort restaurants may offer prix-fixe dinners or special buffets, so making reservations in advance is recommended.
- Some resorts have late-night entertainment or fireworks views from the property, which can be a more comfortable way to ring in the new year.
If you want to venture out:
- CityWalk is the hub for Universal Orlando’s NYE celebrations, featuring live music, DJs, and party zones. The energy is festive, and you’ll have access to multiple bars and restaurants in one area.
- Keep in mind that CityWalk will be crowded, and there may be cover charges or ticketed events for certain clubs and restaurants.
- Other on-site resorts like Hard Rock Hotel or Loews Sapphire Falls also have NYE parties and events that guests can attend, usually with ticketed entry.
Additional tips:
- Plan your transportation: walking between your resort and CityWalk is easy, but arriving early is best to avoid congestion.
- Make dining reservations well in advance, as NYE is one of the busiest nights of the year.
- Consider whether you want a high-energy party atmosphere or a quieter, more relaxed celebration—this will guide whether you stay at Royal Pacific or head to CityWalk.
Overall, if you enjoy convenience and a calmer setting, staying at Loews Royal Pacific is ideal. If you’re looking for a vibrant, party-centric experience, CityWalk or other Universal resorts’ events offer plenty of options to ring in the new year with energy and excitement.
