New Years Eve question

[KCMiller]

I have a question about using the Q&C vouchers. If I was at Epcot, and wanted to leave the park and go to Beaches and Cream for lunch, can I get back into the park with my one day pass? I'll be there on New Years Eve, and I'm concerned that I won't be able to get back in - if I have a PS for dinner, will they let me?

Thanks so much,

KC

KCMiller,
We were there last year--we were told that if they reached capacity, we would not be let in even though we were staying on site (BCV), had annual passes, and had PS for dinner in Morocco..... The PS also had a CC guarantee with a $10 per person no show charge, if we didn't make it to the restuarant at all (or not on time)...And we foolishly had ressies for the Brown Derby (at MGM) for lunch also with a CC guarantee and when we checked in--we were already within our 48hr no change window for the NYE PS.
Since there was rain in the forecast , I think a lot of people didn't go to EPCOT on NYE last year. We were able to get in with no problem around 5pm.
No telling what will happen this year. If the forecast is pretty nice, I expect the crowd will be larger....

I have been at Epcot for 5 years now for NY Eve. I have never had a poblem getting back into te park from my room at the Dolphin. We always go back to the room at around 4 or 5 for a nap and then back to the park at about 7 to stake out a seat for the fireworks show, my favorite attraction at any of the parks.
I do see quite a few people taking naps throughout the day on benches or in the grassy area between Ice Station Cool and th Imagination building. I would rather take my chances and go back to my room than sleep in the grass.
MK does fill up fast, and people stay there the entire day because they do close the park, but I think Epcot has a larger capacity because I have never had a problem.
Now that I have said that, I hope this year works out, I am staying at the Hilton, a lot farther away from Epcot. Peggie
