New Years Fireworks

[ryoung]

Some advice. In your opinion, which park has the best fireworks on New Years Eve. We were at WDW last year and saw Epcot's unbelievable display. We'll be back this year and wondering is other parks' displays can possibly be better?

Thanks for your advice.

My favorite has always been Epcot. I've seen MK's and PI's, but never the ones at MGM.

We saw the fireworks at Epcot last year and really loved it. At midnight all the countries had their own firework show and then the main event was over the lagoon. I must mention that the fireworks were unbelievable. Really, really really loud and exciting. My daughter and I looked at each other and wondered what possible fireworks could be left.

Also, epcot sort of was really wild all night long. BIG BIG crowds. Real hard to move around. After midnight there was a dance party going on at one of the countries.

We just kind of went to enjoy the crowds and excitment.

Hope this helps.

I have seen the MGM fireworks, the Epcot fireworks, and the Pleasure Island fireworks on three different NYE nights. I think Pleasure Island shows the same fireworks they do every night. Not terribly impressive.

MGM shows their Fantasy in the Sky display (the ones they almost never show any more). We watched them from Hollywood Blvd (near the front of the park), and when the MGM fireworks were done, we were able to turn around and see the airal portion of the Epcot fireworks in the distance.

Epcot shows their usual show, then they show the additional NYE fireworks. The Epcot NYE fireworks are really, really intense. I just asked my sister if she could remember what music they played during the NYE fireworks, and she said "I don't know... it was so loud, you couldn't really hear the music." Again, if you are near the International Gateway, you can turn around and see the MGM fireworks at roughly the same time as the first part of the Epcot fireworks.

All of the parks are crowded NYE. In MGM, it was packed shoulder to shoulder on Hollywood Blvd. I saw the NYE fireworks at Epcot form an Illuminations cruise, so I can only tell you that the park looked incredibly crowded.

Without a doubt, Epcot has the best fireworks on both July 4th and New Years Eve. We will see you there!
