If you haven’t started any plans for this years New Years Eve your falling behind. Everywhere you go in Orlando or Port Canaveral for that matter New Years Eve is a big deal and can get expensive especially when you are wanting to go to Disney World to spend the holiday tradition. Some entry fees can get as expensive as $300 per person such as Pleasure Island in downtown disney during New Years Eve.

Another option is going to Port Canaveral’s Rock the Port celebration which is  located 40 minutes away from the Orlando Airport, MCO. The place where most of the major cruise ships depart such as Disney’s Dream, Carnival Sensation, and Freedom Of the Seas by Royal Caribbean. It is estimated that there will be around 20 bands playing and a parade that will go around the port. The festivities will begin on December 31, 2011 and into the New Year ,2012!  If your planning on traveling from the Disney or Universal area then it will take about an hours to get to the port though.

If your planning on cruising on one of the cruise ships out of Port Canaveral around this time period then your in luck. Next door to Port Canaveral is Cape Canaveral which has several hotels in the area which include Country Inn and Suites and Radisson hotel which are the closest ones to the port.
