If you are staying in an Epcot area resort you can see the fireworks from there. Maybe even be in the pool and see the fireworks. Plus if the park is at absolute capacity it will be very crowded, obviously.

The difference with NYE is most of the cast members (college program) never worked a New Year’s Eve so don’t understand the unique dynamics it brings. So while they know the crowd pattern and everything on a day to day basis, they never worked a NYE which is a different type of beast than the every day crowd dynamics. If that make sense plus with all the difference music and stages.
I’m assuming it will be too cold for the pool that time of year. Also, we don’t mind crowds at all.
All I can tell you, is after attending multiple New Years Eve celebrations in Epcot, we’ve never had any issues with disorganizion before midnight. I’ve never seen so many CM’s working in my life to make pathways/dance parties, etc…. as smooth flowing as they do.
Lol.
We were thinking somewhere in either France or UK at midnight to be near the international gateway. I’m going to assume those two areas would be the most full though.
All areas around WS will be pretty packed, but if you’re staying at an Epcot resort, and you do want to leave right after fireworks, just know, you’ll be walking with the sea of humanity out the International gateway. Most of the people watching in this area will be going the same way anyways and crowds will begin to thin out once you get through the exit.
It depends tbh. It may or may not be
Way too late. At that point just soak in the new year.All I can tell you, is after attending multiple New Years Eve celebrations in Epcot, we’ve never had any issues with disorganizion before midnight.

The bottlenecks we’ve been in are right after the fireworks when the bulk of people are trying to quickly head out of World Showcase to beat the crowds. Which is much too late for that.
At the same time, some people are trying to head back into World Showcase. There are spots that come to an absolute standstill. You just have to pack your patience.
We’re usually somewhere between Mexico and Canada at midnight, and we try to let the crowds thin out a bit before heading back into World Showcase. By the time we leave after 1am, it’s relatively peaceful and easier to catch a bus without too much of a wait.
Yes, it was like a winter day in Mass. We wore the hats/gloves/winter jackets that we had worn to the airport. I just looked up the temperature (Jan 1999) and it looks like the day I remember the most was just about freezing (like actual 32 degrees freezing). We had booked the Luau and it was cancelled due to temperatures the night we were going to go and the night we rescheduled to go it was still too cold (much of our trip was in the 30s according to the history)
We will definitely keep a close eye on the forecast.
Yes.
Yes vast majority of locals are blacked out and it does make a difference actually it makes a huge difference.
That is also the only pass people outside Florida can get unless they have DVC
Sadly for my pocket book!
