I need some opinions!
We've decided on Epcot for sure (We're staying at BCV.), but have two younger ones. We are checking in that morning (gonna stay offsite night before) and I was thinking about trying to book Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for our girls later (like maybe around lunch), then heading off to Epcot.

What is the latest you think we can get into Epcot on NYE? Will it reach capacity and the gates be closed? And if so, typically around what time does that happen? Are we guaranteed entry if we are staying on property, have APs or even ADRs? Should we after checking into BCV go into Epcot, then leave after getting our hand stamped? Does that make any difference?

I saw there are two showings of Illuminations that night. The first is at 7:30. Would an ADR around 8:00 give us time? Does the later Illuminations have more fireworks than the first viewing? I'm now wondering if we should see the early show, eat, then if the girls poop out leave.

I really, really appreciate any advice!
