We stayed at the BWV for the millenium celebration.
That New Years Eve they had their own fireworks over crescent lake as well as a DJ set up on the lawn and entertainers walking around the Boardwalk such as stilt walkers and balloon magicians.
We could also see the EPCOT fireworks from our balcony. If I remember they were also giving out noisemakers and hats to people.
It really was a nice way to celebrate without being in the mad crush of one of the parks.
I am not sure if they would have as much going on this year or if that was special because of the millenium but it sure was fun!

That is a wise move to do AK New years eve day. That is what we did and the park was absolutely empty. We were the only ones on the bus in the morning and the driver said. "You made a good choice. Every other park is going to be packed"
