Who is Going New Years Eve part II

[brunette8706]

Hi All!

Who is going to the world New Years Eve? Do you all have any plans for dinner? I know the date is getting closer and I'm ready to go! A few years back they gave out noise makers and hats! I think they will be having special dinners at EPCOT also.

Are you going this time of year? If so what are you planning to do or see?

Thanks All!
Brunette

We'll be there! We're actually flying in on the 31st at around 11:00 AM. We'll most likely drop our bags off at our hotel and then head over to EPCOT for the rest of the day and night. We've never been on New Year's before, so this will be a new experience!

[Tinkh]

We are planning on HS for New Years. That is where we were last year. Our son is a teenager and he really enjoyed the party atmosphere there last year, so we are going to repeat. We have ADR for 50's Primetime since our trip was only planned last minute a few weeks ago we were happy to find any available for then.

[kaygela]

We're arriving on the 30th and will be in MK for New Year's. We know it will be crazy so we're prepared. We were at Disneyland 3 yrs ago for New Year's so we kind of know what to expect. We have early dinner ressies at the castle.:goodvibes

[cjb71870]

Expect the Parks to "close" due to capacity.....

[chum1600]

my dw and I will be at HS with brown derby for lunch. We also have a res at 50's for dinner. We know it will be packed, but we are excited about it!

[Jaggy67]

We plan to be at Epcot, and I made my ADRs in Sept... it will be our first December trip ever :woohoo:

[GoofySon'sMom]

We'll also be in EPCOT for our first December trip/New Year's in the World! Dinner at Biergarten! Prepared for the crowds ... super excited! Only 15 more days till we check-in! :banana:

[dlaushey]

We'll be at MK on NYE's. We have a lunch a Crystal Palace and will do counter service for dinner.

This is the last day our AP's will be valid. We activated them on NYE's 2008 so we could get two NYE celebrations on one AP!

We were at MK last year as well. Although we left at 11:45 and watched the fireworks from the TTA parking lot. We hope to stay until the park closes this time to get every last minute of use from our AP!

[robinb]

We're going to be at Epcot for NYE :banana:.

[jfeasel]

I will be there with my daughter's high school basketball team since we will be playing in a tournament at WWS. Planning on going to Epcot.

[DWGal210]

We'll be there! :cool1: We're leaving the 26th so NYE is for sure on our plans.

We know it'll be crowded, but how can you beat ringing in the New Year at WDW?!?!? :wizard:

[Traveliz]

I think we are going to do Epcot on NYE.

We will do MK fireworks on the 30th then.

At least that is what we are thinking now.

Liz

[howlongtildisney]

I'll be there! We have dessert party reservations for 12/30 at the MK when they do the "dress rehearsal" NYE fireworks. Then, on NYE itself we're going to DHS. Depending on how annoyed we get with crowds, we may or may not stay to ring in the new year. Then the next morning we're getting up early for EMH! I know it sounds crazy but when I was at DHS on new year's day 2000 my brother and I were the only people walking down Sunset Boulevard towards ToT and RnR. Definitely worth repeating!

[robinb]

Just a reminder ... DHS has Evening EMH on 12/31 and is open until 3am! The MK also has EMH and is open until 2am!

[dlaushey]

Just a reminder ... DHS has Evening EMH on 12/31 and is open until 3am! The MK also has EMH and is open until 2am!

The MK EMH is morning only on 12/31 but the park is open until 2am!

Could you imagine evening EMH on 12/31 at MK, you could be there until 5am!!! Sleep a couple of hours on a bench and be ready for rope drop at EMH 7am on 1/1.

[KCMiller]

We'll be at MK on the 30th to see the Dublin Scioto Marching Band march down Main Street USA ahead of the afternoon parade (starrring my DS on cymbals - his name is Jack, feel free to give him a shout out on the parade route!). Then we'll be at HS for NYE - should be a blast!

KC:santa:

Brunette

[Dopey19]

[uncw89]

I think we are going to do Epcot on NYE.

We will do MK fireworks on the 30th then.

At least that is what we are thinking now.

Liz

Count me in!! NYE in Epcot, dinner ressie at Teppan Edo. 3rd NYE in the parks and hate spending it any other way!!

We also will be eating at Teppan Edo! Our ADR is at 6:50!!! I can't wait. We are going on the 27th!:cool1::cool1:

[Cinderella1122]

We are planning on sleeping in alittle on NYE since we will be doing MK on the 30th (I will be making good use of 17 of the 20 hours that the park will be open, We won't make it till 3am, but we will definately be there late enough to see the fantasy in the sky). We have a late breakfast reservation at Ohana (my sister loves stitch) and then we will head over to DHS for our dinner at Hollywood Brown Derby and the NYE festivities.

[mommy in wonderland]

This is our first trip during any holiday. It is also our first trip without any kids!!!!! :woohoo: I'm so excited!!!! We are spending NYE at epcot and having dinner at Nine Dragons. We are also gonna attempt to drink around the world showcase! Hopefully I won't regret that one!:sick:

[abouna]

We will be in MK on the 30th and doing the dessert party, eating lots of sugar so we can make it until 3:00am!

NYE at Epcot for the day with dinner at San Angel.

New Year's day a DMS.

[momx2]

We'll be at Epcot on the 31st. Just decided about 10 days ago to suprise the kids with an after Christmas trip. We've never been this week, so a little worried, but very excited! On the 31st we have lunch ressies at Rose and Crown and dinner at San Angel Inn, not my favorites, but the only ones available at the last minute. I can't wait!

[chell]

We don't arrive in Orlando until about 8PM so we hope we can get into the Studios. If not, we are just going to make the most of the evening after we get checked into the Swan.

Not only would this be my first NYE in the parks, it would be my first one doing anything besides sitting up at home watching tv.

[redrocks]

Hey REDROCKS!

You're very welcome!

Brunette

(We can't wait!) LOL
I hear ya! I know it's going to be way crowded, but I don't care. How great is it to be right in the middle of the action on NYE?!

[MHTeacher]

We'll be there...just a week and a half until we're there!

We are planning on HS for New Years. That is where we were last year. Our son is a teenager and he really enjoyed the party atmosphere there last year, so we are going to repeat. We have ADR for 50's Primetime since our trip was only planned last minute a few weeks ago we were happy to find any available for then.

We're eating at 50's Prime Time as well on NYE, spending the day at DHS. Great minds must think alike. ;)

We are planning on sleeping in alittle on NYE since we will be doing MK on the 30th .

Same plans here. The 30th is my dd's 16th birthday, and she wants to spend it at the park of her choice...which is MK. Look for us...it will be obvious that it's her 16th birthday!

Hi! We love it! This is one of our favorite times of year to travel to Disney. My next favorite is 4th of July and Memorial Day Weekend.

Have a Wonderful Time!

Brunette

[mollyhan]

What time is the dress rehersal at MK on the 30th

[sherry]

My dd(23) and I will be there, planning on Boma Breakfast, lunch at Sci-Fi, and dinner at Prime Time. We are very excited:woohoo:

[Cinderella1122]

It's fun seeing all of our tickers in the low single didgits:banana:

[meekoniko]

I'll be there, we're going to EPCOT and I think we're having dinner at the Yacht Club. I can't wait, this is my first time going on New Years!

[Tig67]

Can't believe our trip is just around the corner. I'm actually hardly thinking about Christmas-more excited for Disney. We are going to Epcot in the AM but haven't decided about the pm. We have lunch ADRs at Whispering Canyon so hopefully they will let us back in. Don't know that we'll actually make it to midnight since we have a 9 year old. I almost would rather go to bed at a decent time and tour in the AM of the 1st hoping everyone else is sleeping in. Although we are actually thinking of doing Seaworld on 1/1 in the AM and Disney in the PM.

[Cando86]

We'll be there with all of you! Leaving so soon!!! I can't believe it's finally here!
We'll be ringing in the new year at Magic Kingdom; is there any better way!?
See ya there! :banana:
