New Year’s Eve. Good idea or not?

[Hopingforpixiedust]

I have never been to Epcot for NYE. I grabbed at 10:45 pm reservation for drinks/appetizer at San Angel Inn at Epcot on 12/31. I obviously want to be outside for the midnight fireworks. When I exit the Mexico pavilion will I be able to see the fireworks? Will it be too packed to move around the area? Is it a bad idea to not stake out a spot? I don’t need the best view, just want to be able to somewhat see for the countdown. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!

I think a 10:45 reservation might be cutting it close, even if just ordering an appetizer and not being particular about having a "good" spot. Not sure if they still do it but when we went several years ago, the walkway around World Showcase Lagoon turned into one-way traffic only -- i.e. couldn't exit Mexico and turn left toward Norway.

Thanks. In your opinion, what time would give enough time?
