Guests visiting a Walt Disney World Resort hotel this New Year’s Eve can pick up a complimentary cardboard top hat.

New Year’s Eve 2026 Hat

Like the past several years, the top hat is black with a fireworks design, the new year on a blue Mickey head, and “Happy New Year” on a faux hat band. It’s available for pick up in resort lobbies.

These hats were once passed out at the theme parks, along with noisemakers, but budget cuts led to the noisemakers no longer being available and the hats being limited to hotels.
