Really enjoyed NYE around the Poly. Obviously a totally different vibe this year - more somber, quiet, perhaps reflective - but still a great setting to ring in the new year and contemplate better days ahead.
I originally thought Disney’s plan to keep the pools open until 1 was a little crazy, but the weather ended up being perfect all night for swimming. Plenty of people still in the water after midnight. But the weather could have easily been way too cold for swimming, so we really lucked out there from Mother Nature.
Walked over the GF around 11:30’ish and the vibe seemed pretty happy over there too. Maybe felt like a tad more people around than Poly, probably given the resort being fully open and more dining options. But overall things around both resorts felt pretty low crowd and chill.
Incredibly thankful to the recreation and food/beverage CMs for the late hours and for working hard with limited resources to provide a great NYE experience. Many of the Poly activities and games were super cute and really had the kids entertained.
Happy New Year everyone.
