I'm in the minority. I hate epcot nye. It's boring. Did it once never again.

couldn’t agree more. The fireworks were spectacular. However, the busing situation afterwards was awful. I get it’s the busiest night of the year and we were expecting the wait to be long but we saw 3 buses in a row come to a resort with no people in line yet it took 30 minutes for one single bus to come to our resort line that was extended all the way down to the end of the bus lines. We didn’t get home until 2 AM

When Disney wants to put on a party, they absolutely nail it. It’s what brings me back every year - there is nothing like the energy combined with all the space of EPCOT. Crowded or not it’s wwaayyy better than being packed into a dance club, with much better fireworks to boot!

Anyone take a bus to YC/BC and transfer to the Skyliner?

when I left mk at 1:00 am the line for busses to ttc was alllllll the way back at the beginning of the bus entrance. They were filling 4 busses at a time. Pop century only had about 30 min. Wait (1 articulated bus, 1 charter bus, 1 standard Disney bus and I was one of the first on the next bus, another articulated. Was 30 minutes back to pop. Not bad

We are in Epcot now. Have been since 8:30 this morning. Morning went great. With the use of our FPS and getting there early enough we were able to do everything we wanted to. By 2 pm world showcase was a nightmare and it still is. Between the drunks everywhere and the 30 minute lines for the bathroom it’s pretty crazy. But definitely a ton of fun! The energy is amazing. We got prime spots for the fireworks. Just need to plan in advance.

Bring me your tired, your not poor at all, your huddled masses yearning to spend $7 for a frozen ice cream bar on a stick shaped like a rodent...

MK is open to all now

$50 seems like a good start for food and drinks at EPCOT's NYE...

Wait times actually seem more manageable relative to previous years.

Unless you know how to use the app, then there are only 30 minute waits. Front row parade viewing and Be Our Guest is also still available.
