Disney World area one of top 10 New Year's Eve destinations
The Disney World area of Orlando ranks among the top 10 U.S. New Year's Eve 2004 destinations, according to a new survey among travel services.
Norwalk, Conn.-headquartered Priceline.com Inc., Travelweb LLC of Dallas, Texas, and Active Hotels in the United Kingdom -- three large global hotel reservation networks that work with more than 20,000 hotel properties -- say big cities are popular again for Americans and Europeans who plan to celebrate this year.
The services independently surveyed thousands of hotel reservation requests and bookings made by customers for Dec. 31 to determine where Americans and Europeans will spend the holiday and how that compares to previous years.
In the United States, the No. 1 destination is New York City's midtown west neighborhood, home to Times Square.
Other popular destinations included other parts of New York City, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Chicago and Orlando.
In fact, the Disney World vicinity of the Orlando area ranked No. 10. Additionally, the Universal Studios/Sea World area came in at No. 14.
