Where to spend NYE??? Help needed

[FRANTIC_FROG]

We just can't decide.
Last time we went to Seaworld. We loved it and had a lovely time but it was a bit of a drive back to the villa and we are thinking of having a change.
It would be nice to go into one of the WDW parks but I get put of the thought of getting there so early and staying 12 plus hours. the kids are 11 and 9.Is it really hard going?

Help!! any suggestions?

When we went in 2000, we went to Mgm studios in the morning, then we went to Epcot in the afternoon.

Magic Kingdom was at full capacity by the afternoon, they tell you over the taniods which parks are full, we had no problem getting in to either park, we got to Epcot about 4pm and it was okay, so you could chance it and go later on in the day, depending on which park you want to go to.
We did'nt feel that it was a long day because we broke the day up with 2 different parks, but Nicole and Chloe were older so it was'nt to bad.
The plan was to stay till midnight for the fireworks, but it absolutely tipped down with rain and thunder as well, we were all soaked to the skin, so we left before new year came in, we went back to hotel and seen new year in, in the hotel with a few buds but we did'nt mind as we were all shattered anyway.

We are planning to go to AK during the day, then have an ADR at the Yacht Club Galley. If we can still get into the park we plan to see the 7:30pm fireworks in Epcot, if not we are happy to just chill around the Boardwalk for a while.

My thoughts are turning to this too, now we have Xmas Day sorted :thumbs-up We may go to Seaworld in the morning before our 7 day free admission from DC runs out.
Hotel and chill in the afternoon - we have an ADR at the Yachtsman Steakhouse at 7pm, am thinking we may be finished by 9pm and then either into Epcot if possible or just loiter around the Boardwalk, so see you there then Lin?:d:

Thanks, that's very encouraging to know that it is possible to go to the parks a bit later on in the day.
I could just see us getting to somewhere like Epcot waiting for it to open and then on our knees by early evening!!
I think I'm going to chance going to Epcot.
anyone else going on NYE?

LOL Sue - well I already noticed that we will both be in MK early on Christmas morning and I won't be wearing my hat but will be wearing my lanyard :d:

Hi - NYE is our 2nd day there - booked for Brekky at MK, but cant see that DD's will be able to cope with staying all day.

Therefore decided to stay till early pm, go back to hotel for a little sleep!? (if they can from excitement), then off to DTD for meal or stay in Hotel as we are staying at World Orlando Marriott! I have emailed hotel to see if they are doing! NYE in anyway, but nothing back as yet!!

Trying hard to decide best options!
