      Happy New Year ! I saw a pic of Fantasy Land in Magic Kingdom on December 31 from a few years ago and you couldn’t fit one more person in there. It was wall to wall people lol. I’m sure the fireworks are great but idk if the crowds are worth it ?

    The choice seems to be, pay big bucks and get into a Disney park, deal with insane crowds, wait forever for a restroom, walk a long way for limited rewards.... Or, maybe go to somewhere local with a much smaller venue, listen to a local musician, and have a few drinks close to home. Decisions, decisions. 😁

      Maybe I've just gotten old and grumpy, but the videos I watch of Disney parks now-a-days are far from what I experienced 10-20 years ago when my family used to go every year. It seems like Disney has lost a lot of it's "magic" feeling to me. That's the vibe I get now. I have a ton of good memories from back in the day, but I haven't seen anything in the past few years that makes me want to spend the thousands of dollars it costs to go back. Doesn't seem worth the cost anymore.

When we first started going, the longest wait was probably 30 minutes, and that was rare, even without fastpass. Now, it’s ridiculous! We’re DVC members, so it’s hard to say goodbye to Disney altogether, but we’re spending fewer days than we used to, less time at the parks, and less overall time on property.

Weather was awesome, Christmas decor was pretty and the crowds were relatively low except for the holiday days obviously. I think the most we ever waited for a ride was an hour or so. This was a few years before and couple years after they introduced the fast passes. I fondly remember the amazing meal plan that got you an appetizer, entree, dessert for each meal ticket and even included the tip. They stopped that real quick. lol

      By "perfectly said", do you mean, that take is patently absurd?

      Want to check out the Berlin techno scene? There you go.
      Paris, Tokyo? There is literally no New Year's Celebration anywhere in the Southeast that approaches the show EPCOT puts on.
      I mean, not only did he take off before the fireworks, but he didn't even seem to make his way in to one single pavilion. That's fine for Adam, but I would hardly use this video to conclude this was the same as setting up in an empty parking lot.

    I agree with you, Adam, and I appreciate you calling out the obnoxious, over the top, fraternity style party scene at EPCOT.
    I hate how EPCOT went from being a classy, educational, highbrow park in the 1980s and 90s into being the trashy, drunken, debauch, lowbrow park that it is now.
    EPCOT is now just a fancy backdrop for raucous partying that could just as easily take place in any parking lot, field, or dank, dark, dusty, dirty, musty, moldy frat house basement anywhere in the world.
    I’m not into the party scene now at age 41 and I wasn’t when I was younger either. I’m a night owl, but I’m not into the nighttime vibe at EPCOT.
    Disney parks should have remained true to Walt’s vision to not serve alcohol.
    I spent New Year’s Eve enjoying some beautiful, relaxing Christmas light displays near me that aren’t crowded this late in the Christmas season.
    The Way of Lights show at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville, IL, and the WonderLight Christmas show at Worldwide Technology Raceway in Madison, IL are both great Christmas light displays that are more enjoyable than New Year’s Eve at EPCOT.

      Fair. But you should have seen EPCOT 30 years ago. It was legendary. I went to a party at a local mall near Tampa that was the same as EPCOTs but saved hundreds. Florida is known for parties like this one, EPCOTs is kind of just a tourist trap. Locals know it's kind of a sucker spot where you get the same experience 15 miles to the Northeast but spend a fraction. To each their own though because it helps the Florida economy to have the upcharges. Either way, the point is to have fun so it's nice to hear you did man! Also Happy New Year as well!

      @@mervjackson3957 Cool beans! I've been to DW since it opened in '71, when my parents took me for the first time. We lived in NYC at the time (local now) and always went several times a year. This was the first time not attending a 'regular' party, so I decided to hang out at EPCOT, which I agree was AMAZING years ago (less so today, but I still like it). Annual pass holder, and since I attend regularly, it's not expensive - but I definitely agree with the tourists and upcharges, lol. Heck, even I paid for Jollywood - which I knew enough not to attend the first night and waited for a couple of weeks - definitely not as bad as first reported, but I will say there should have been 'more.' Anywho - Happy New Year to you and yours!

    Thank you Adam for your honest opinions about New Year's at Epcot. I have never been to Walt Disney World for New Year's but my wife and I did spend New Year's Eve at Disneyland about twelve years ago. That was when you could only buy alcohol at Disneyland in Club 33 so rampant public drunks were nowhere to be found in Disneyland back then. (I am the lone guy way out in left field here but I absolutely do not like the recent decision to sell alcohol in Disneyland outside of Club 33.) But the New Year's atmosphere in Disneyland that I experienced was similar to what you show and describe here at Epcot in your video.
    Disneyland was packed to the rafters that night, which was not a surprise at all. What was a surprise to my wife and I was how the entire park was turned into a dance club with loud music (complete with repetitive drum machine beats) playing everywhere throughout the park. The DJ playing the music was on a lit up stage in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. It completely shattered the Disneyland themeing throughout the whole park. When I visit Disneyland I like to get lost in the themeing, including the background music and overall ambient sounds of the various lands. That was all completely flushed down the drain during New Year's Eve on our visit.
    Don't get me wrong because I absolutely love live music. I have been attending rock concerts for several decades now, so I appreciate loud, live music. I just don't like loud recorded music playing in "The Happiest Place On Earth" at all.
    It was interesting to go just once but my wife and I swore to never go back to Disneyland again on New Year's. I like to hear nice live jazz in New Orleans Square as I am sipping a mint julep and eating Mickey beignets. I do not want to hear some nauseating dance music "created" by a Roland drum machine and cranked up to 110 decibels there on Royal Street. Just like you Adam, my wife and I just stuck around to see what it was like and when we quickly realized that New Year's at Disneyland was most definitely not the Disneyland that we knew and loved, we went back to our hotel around 9:00 PM. Once there, we enjoyed a very nice relaxing meal in our room in our PJs and watched the Disneyland fireworks from the window.
    I have read many of the comments here and there are a lot of people that totally disagree with me (and you) regarding destroying the themeing and ambience of a Disney theme park because...well...New Year's. I get it...I really do. It's just one night of the year. In the big picture it is not a huge deal. If you like that scene, then by all means, what I (and Adam in his video) have said here will not change your opinion one bit. That's OK with me. All that I know is that my wife and I experienced it once at Disneyland and once was enough for us. It sounds like Adam feels the same way about Epcot.
    The morning after New Year's at Disneyland was absolutely fantastic though. I guess that all of the partiers decided to sleep in so the park was relatively empty until about noon. It was absolutely quiet and relaxing. It was back to the Disneyland that my wife and I knew and loved - The Happiest Place On Earth.
    Thanks again Adam for the video. Now that I've seen what it's like at Epcot on New Year's - no thanks!

The one with the earth that opened in the center of the lagoon. Becoming one of our favorite firework shows of all time! After, 2020 people want to get even drunker it seems these days.

    My first time making it to EPCOT for NYE. The way I looked at it (being new to the area and not knowing anyone) was that it was easier for me to be around people without dealing with being by myself at a party. Definitely if you are expecting "EPCOT" during the event, I can see where it can be a disappointment. I was amazed that I didn't see any belligerently drunk issues during my laps there (not saying that there weren't any). One lesson I learned from last night; don't expect to have a rideshare immediately after a big event there (even those who had made reservations prior had them canceled). Also, there are electrical outlets (with USB and USB-C ports) at ground level at the Rideshare waiting area. Hope to meet you one of these days around the community.

A more mellow, more for middle-aged, that is still family-friendly (crowd got excited with an Animal Kingdom song the female DJ did and crowd got excited with September by EWF, but then the Japanese pav. DJ took it and turned it as they do, instant let-down with the crowd) would be better received IMO.

      Epcot’s only that bad during big events/festivals, though not with park-wide club music like that. It’s “normal” Epcot, but with a lot more drunk/buzzed people. I used to attend Food & Wine Fest each year and the party atmosphere sometimes started during daylight hours, especially on crowded days.
      Really though, anyone who’s been to Epcot during an event like F&W should expect New Year’s Eve (of all events) to be one big party, compared to the other parks. *shifts into gen x mode* Back in my day, we used to escape constantly getting rammed in the heels by strollers at Magic Kingdom by hopping to Epcot and maybe having a drink or two with a meal or snacks. Then the younger-than-us adults figured out Epcot’s where the booze is, and it’s been an event/festival party atmosphere ever since.
