We stayed at BWV for christmas & New Years last year. Prior to christmas day the parks were crowded but managable. From christmas day on, was very crowded. btw Xmas & NYE, I rememmber they closed down 2 parks on one day, I think it was MK & MGM, till later that evening. We left MK on that day because it was unenjoyable. For the Dumbo ride, was over an hour wait. On NYE day we went to MK and it was beautiful there, but very crowded. We left around 4:00 after the parade because we had the 2nd seating dinner reservations at Narcoosees at the GF Hotel. The food was great. The best part of it was at midnight, they gave us hats & noisemakers, champagne & we went out on the balcony and saw the fireworks. One of the bardges that shot of the fireworks was right in front of us. Beautiful and no crowd.

My DD 8 didn't like the menu so we asked for pasta & they gave it to her
I hope you have a blast.
Thank you. This helps out tremendously!!
We were there 2005/2006 and felt Epcot was way over crowded. In fact my DD5 got really ill, nothing to do with crowds, and we had to leave the park quickly. What would have been a 5 min walk turned into 30-45 mins, because it was so crowded. We walked back to the swan, my DD11 and I watched 3 parks worth of fireworks from the bridge near the dolphin/swan. It was fantastic. My poor DH took DD5 back to the hotel. In fact that turned out to be the end of our holiday as she was ill right uptill we flew home on the Thursday 5 days later. We only managed to fly home because she was treated in hospital the day before.
We are hoping to stay in BWV or BVC this NYE and will be viewing the fireworks from the bridge and have a nice uncrowded evening.
