We will also be in WDW for new years this year. We are meeting friends from Illinois and staying at Courtyard by Marriott on property. Since they are driving down we are letting them make the plans and I don't think we are going to the parks until the 1st & 2nd. Anyone have idea's of a good place to watch the new years fireworks other than from the park? We have never been to the boardwalk before. Will there be activities there during the night? What can anyone tell me about it? Thanks!!
