Honestly if I was on property for New Years Eve. Magic Kingdom wouldnt be my go to place. I believe Traders Sam would be my ideal spot to ring in the new years

Phase 1 and 2 have been more common in recent years, and if my memory is correct, is somewhere around early-mid afternoon.

Last year MK was closed around 11:35 AM and reopened late afternoon, and, IIRC, then stayed open until park close.

Exactly. Or even Disney Springs. Magic Kingdom is a nightmare.

All I would want at midnight is *Bang Bang* "2 Shots of Rum!"


I always thought that the unique tiki mugs for Halloween should be something that sold at new years eve but with the bodies on property I understand why they are not

That wasn’t a full phase 4 close though.

Honestly thats a horrible idea for safety reasons alone. I guess Disney thinks all guests at epcot at Midnight are going to be resort guests. LOL

This makes no sense and sounds dangerous as some guests are trying to walk to their cars while others are driving. Hoping it’s a mistake and that teams still run.

I just think the trams are probably pointless after midnight. It’s a mass exodus and the majority of people are not going to wait for a tram so everyone will be walking through the parking lot. The tram probably can’t even navigate through the walking crowds in the lots.

After being in the Hub for July 4th I will agree with you. The terrible DJ alone almost ruined the experience for us.

That's the only thing I can think of - that trying to drive the trams through the crowds would be more dangerous than no trams

This makes sense. We don’t normally drive so aren’t very familiar with the trams. I thought they had dedicated lanes that people couldn’t walk in but I guess that only happens if people do what they’re supposed to.

Please define "closed". I don't think this was a full phase 4 closing.
