NYE at Epcot - Touring Advice

[tndisney5]

I can book dining soon and would like some advice on touring Epcot on NYE. We plan on arriving at or near RD at 8 and do things in the park ALL day (we did this the last time we conquered NYE and it worked) If we need a break we can hit the resort before dinner. Does anyone know if Epcot closes to capacity? Just don't want to be potentially shut out if we choose to leave.

Right now I am planning on a sit down lunch at Coral Reef and dinner in WS. Any tips on times for meals and FPs? My original thought is to do what we can - TT and some other smaller attractions before lunch, then FPs after lunch followed by WS touring. This will be our first time to visit Epcot for NYE.

Tips welcome

-epcot won't close for capacity. You'll be fine.

-timing dinner and FP's depends on how early you want to grab a spot for the midnight fireworks. There's fireworks at 6:30 as well and some people stay in that same spot until midnight. So if you plan on grabbing a spot hours in advance then take that into consideration

-I'd plan FP's starting around 2/3pm, then dinner around like 7:30. Gives you time to hit rides at rope drop even though everything build very quick. Living with the land was at a 50 min wait by 11am when I was there 2 years ago. Then late dinner gives you a nice sit down and break from the crowd
