It will be a very busy time of year, although probably not at capacity. The New Year's Eve party in the main park requires an extra ticket, but you don't have to go to the party, they have plenty of extra stuff in the studios and village including fireworks. We did the party a few years ago and it was mental, we couldn't move at all when we tried to see the castle for the midnight fireworks. We also went a few years ago before they did the party and it was still crazy busy, people were sitting/napping on the floor all over the main studio building.

You will need to make reservations well in advance. The restaurants will have special meals that are not included in the meal plan and cost a lot more than usual.
