I'm already making plans for NE 2005-2006 and I can't think of a better way to start a new year than by spending the end of the old an start of the new year in my favourite place in the whol' wide world, IoA. Because of the expected crowds I've already resigned to having to stay on site to get FOTL privileges, but I was wondering what the whole deal is with NE itself. I know it's a seperated ticketed event but is this only for the dinner + partying in CityWalk or is access to the parks also limited on 12/31? And if so, do you need a special ticket for the whole day or do they operate like during HHN, closing the park early(ish) and opening up again later on? I don't want to spend too much money on eg a five day bonus pass and find out I'll need to fork out extra on the 31st.
