What time do we need to be at Epcot on NYE...

[TracyK]

to make sure we get in? I believe that the park reaches capacity on NYE, from your experience what time did this happen? We also want to go back to the Beach Club during the afternoon from your experience will be be likely to get back in. We have two ADR's but I don't think these guarantee us entry/re-entry.
Would appreciate any advice/information about NYE at Epcot.

I would think before dinner time (late afternoon) would be your best bet to get into EPCOT. I've heard rumors that your "guaranteed" entry depends on the type of admission ticket you have, but I don't know for sure.

We were there in for NYE 2003. We arrived at EPCOT around 11 AM and were admited in. It was crazy by 8 PM and very hard to walk around without someone all up on you, bumping into you, stepping on your shoes, etc. We actually left the park early because it was too crowded.

You are guaranteed entry to a park but it may not be the one you want. ADR's don't guarantee you entry into a park.

I am sure someone will know what time you should get to Epcot. I am not so sure you should leave the park though.

We would like to know this question too as we have an ADR for Le Cellier and want to be sure of getting entry to the park

It seems that in the past we have seen the full signs around noon. I would go in the morning since the parks seem to fill up quicker each year.

Thanks for the information. We'll probably arrive mid morning and I think we'll stay put rather than risk going back to the BC in the afternoon.

I'm going to Epcot for NYE have ADRs for dinner in Japan. We plan on entering the park at 9am.
Last year we were at MGM and it filled at 10pm. Epcot late afternoon, and Magic Kingdom around 3pm.

I was just there this New Years and we went to Epcot at 9 pm, we had no problems at all getting in. it was PACKED, but we still got in without any problems. We have been to Disney a few times for New Years and always went to Epcot and we Never had a problem getting in we have even gotton there at 5 pm and got in without any trouble.
