 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.

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.

 The grandmother then agreed, and said that "it's a great time to be alive". Jim reminded her, that she and her husband did all kinds of things during the past year including: traveling the world, taking up tennis, and organizing their high school reunion. The grandmother replied that they all have a lot to be thankful for, something that her husband agreed with. John, who was cooking the kitchen, told everybody that he's making his famous "Omelet Superb avec Jambone". Jim and Trish then pointed out that “Omelet Superb avec Jambone” just meant simply ham and eggs. After John responded by asking whatever happened to respecting your elders, his father replied that he always wondered the same thing when (John) was young. Sarah then told John that she was going to put his recipe "on memory", which prompted Trish to ask Sarah to put the New Year’s celebration from Europe on the television. The television in the middle of the room then showed New Year’s celebrations from London and Paris, before finally stopping on Walt Disney World, where the family watched the fireworks in awe.
