We did the GP version. This is what we did last time and really enjoyed it.I booked for the late plaza viewing on 12/30, but am now doubting myself. Is everyone selecting the TT or the GP version?
Plaza here - it's the better view so long as it isn't rainingI booked for the late plaza viewing on 12/30, but am now doubting myself. Is everyone selecting the TT or the GP version?

I'm a little concerned - I noticed other people posted they got a party at 10:15, but my reservation says 10:45. I have a TT reservation on 12/30 - is it the difference between Plaza and TT? Or are there different times for the same party?
TIA!
@mdsouth This plan is completely do-able. On 12/30, we watched the early show from inside the park. At about 11:15pm we made a split-second decision to head out and watch the late show from the boat dock at the GF. We had traveled that day and were getting tired and wanted to avoid the crush of people exiting after the midnight fireworks. We had no trouble getting down Main Street. In fact, we joined some of the dancing folks here and there along the way, and even stopped for a couple of photopass photos which had shockingly short waits (these photos were great, with the "frozen" castle in the background and the searchlight/spotlights coming up out of the castle). They look very "New Years". We walked to the boat launch area (why take the mono, where you have to stop at the Contemporary, the TTC and the Poly, before getting to the GF... and then hike all the way through the GF to the boat dock?). We got on a boat pretty quick, and had a super quick ride to the GF dock. We found a seat on the bench at the boat dock, which surprised me. Quite a few people joined us in time for the midnight show, but it was by no means "crowded". I was shocked. The view was terrific. (Note - on 12/31, the GF boat dock area was completely packed all the way up to Narcoosee's by about 11:30pm.) (Second note: the GF boat dock was quite chilly one year and pretty comfortable another year.)After dinner we will try to hit Adventureland for a bit and then head out and watch the fireworks from just outside MK or maybe ride the monorail over to the GF and watch the show from there.
