Changes

John then told the family that it was getting close to midnight, and that they better watch the New Year’s celebrations on TV. The TV then turned on, just in time for the Walt Disney World New Year's celebrations. A newscaster, broadcasting from atop the [[Contemporary Resort]], said that all around, people were joining together to celebrate the New Year with hope and optimism. The family then commented that the chili was almost ready. They all agreed that they were living in the best time, and that electricity had really helped their way of living. Finally the family sang "The Best Time of Your Life" one more time as the scene ended.

===New Year's Eve (1980s)===

The New Year's Eve 1980s scene started with the family singing the show's theme song (at the time) "The Best Time of Your Life". The family was positioned in the same places that they are in the current show. Trish (holding a guitar) and her grandfather sat around the Christmas tree, while Jim and his grandmother sat next to a large TV. John and Sarah were both in the kitchen area, with John cooking and Sarah sitting next a computer. As always, the family's dog was sitting on the kitchen floor. After they had finished singing, John commented on how beautiful the sunset looked and how happy it made him. Sarah then said that she was just happy that everybody could be together for New Year’s Eve.
