"I would fly to New York every month just to be around these amazing people if I could afford it! MC, Becky, Brian, and Naya, thank you for providing such a fantastic experience for my husband's 40th birthday and the incredible New Year's Eve event! I also want to thank the other employees whose light and energy filled the room with so much fun and laughter. This particular Bubba Gump location has an exceptional team that I cannot wait to visit again. You all are incredible, thank you once again for such a wonderful time! xoxo For those interested in booking for New Year's Eve, my husband and I started planning in February of 2023. We purchased our Bubba Gump New Year's Eve tickets as soon as they were released (make sure to sign up by email to be notified when sales begin, which I believe was around August/September). Despite the crowded streets, we felt very safe once we passed through security. With the high level of security present and the precautions taken, I believe it was the safest place to be on New Year's Eve. The toughest part was navigating through the crowd to reach the meeting point, where a Bubba Gump employee in a red visor will assist you through security. It's best to give yourself ample time and avoid engaging with the homeless or individuals in character costumes while making your way through the crowd. At the event, we met two couples who were very friendly and we had a great time together. We were able to leave our belongings at a booth without any issues. Throughout the night, there was plenty of food and drinks served by the bar. Bubba's mascot made an appearance to dance, and there were activities such as limbo and a congo line, along with two photo booth areas. Guests were given festive party favors and a goody bag with a shirt, large tumbler, and more. To sum it up, the New Year's Eve event at Bubba Gump was the best party and celebration I have ever attended, and I have no regrets! I would absolutely do it again without hesitation. In my opinion, they could be charging more for such a great deal, but they choose not to. This establishment and its staff are truly a treasure."
