I'm expensive, but for something like this, I can easily be discounted.

How many people can you sneak into a room at the PC? Maybe I could rent a van and pick folks up on the way down. Who lives on I-95?

Soundgod · 11-05-2008

I think I'm skipping this year.
Hotels are really pricey and I think I'd like to be closer to home this year.
But I could still change my mind.

tinkerbelle24 · 11-05-2008

My car can hold up to 5 not including the room in the hatch trunk

SSR can hold 4 so they say but we can set up camp on the patio and in the kitchen

I live 5 hours from I-95 but you tell me where and what time and I'll be waiting for you to come through to pick me up!

I would love to be at the MK for NYE. I keep trying to talk DH into it, but w/the cost of airfare and rooms, he said No

Of course HE just bought a 4-wheeler....

Can't wait still trying to decide which park to spend the day and night at. So far I am leaning towards MK

I will be in MK and will NOT be leaving till everything is done and over. I told the kids that I would have to ship them back to the room if they wanted to leave because im afraid to leave and not be able to get back in

I can tell you from personal experience, the last three years in a row, I entered the MK around 8 PM and have had no problems at all getting in.
Many people have left around this time to eat dinner and to simply go back to their hotels. Some have even left for the day, having had their fill of the MK and have other plans for the evening. I'd say you've got a window between 7 PM and 9 PM where you'll be able to get back in, even if they've been at Stage 3 all afternoon. (Stage 3 is where only Disney resort guests and AP holders can get into the park and the TTC parking lot is filled to capacity.)
I wouldn't try getting into MK much later than 9:30 though.
I think Epcot would be more like 10, but if you think you're going to find an unobstructed view of World Showcase Lagoon, think more like 9, unless you're meeting someone.

I miss New Year at WDW! We went to Epcot for the day New Year 06/07 and it was MANIC! Ive never seen so many people, even around the World Showcase we could hardly move. We hung around till 7pm (The British New Year) and celebrated in the Uk Pavillion with about every Brit in WDW for a while then headed back to AKL. We'd been up since 6am and couldnt take it anymore. We planned on seeing in the New Year back at the lodge but fell asleep not long before 11pm lol, New Years day was amazing tho, we had MK to ourselves all morning :)

wouldn't it be fun to have a huge party at a fun restaurant that night? I mean a bunch of us -- and then enjoy fireworks after?
