RADIO DISNEY, the #1 radio network for kids, tweens, and families, rings in the New Year with its annual "Noon Year's Eve" events for kids and families on December 31. The popular events, taking place in over 20 markets, will welcome kids and families to their favorite locations including local zoos, museums and shopping centers for family-friendly celebrations that give kids the opportunity to have all the fun of New Year's Eve before their bedtime.

Hosted by Radio Disney's local stations, the "Noon Year's Eve" events will feature the best songs of the year from Radio Disney's "Top 50 of 2012," interactive entertainment and prizes. Many of the events will also feature resolution writing, balloon drops, juice toasts and a special countdown.

Events in Philadelphia, Boston, Phoenix and Miami offer parents the chance to enter "The Chevrolet Traverse presents: The Family Ride of a Lifetime Sweepstakes" where one lucky winner will receive a new 2013 Chevrolet Traverse and a trip for six to Orlando to visit Walt Disney World Resort and attend the sold-out Justin Bieber Believe Tour concert with special guest Carly Rae Jepsen, plus a guitar autographed by Bieber.
