Orlando New Year's Eve

[PR1234]

We will be flying back into Orlando New Year's Eve afternoon and were thinking it would be fun to stay the night and watch the fireworks at Disney. Anyone know a close REASONABLY priced hotel? We have used Hawthorne Suites in the past....but they are all booked:( Thanks!

Has anyone ever been to the Fireworks at Disney on New Year's Eve??? Any words of wisdom???

I was at EPCOT on December 31, 1999 (I booked 5 years in advance). My favorite fireworks display is at EPCOT, with the Magic Kingdom show my second choice. I can't speak for a "regular" New Year's Eve, but for the millenium you had to be in the park of your choice by approximately 2 PM. Otherwise, you didn't get in because of crowd size. Hopefully, someone who attends for other New Year's Eve events can fill you in on a "regular" night.
I think you'll be lucky if you can find a hotel at this late date. I've always stayed on Disney property, so can't help with a recommendation.

Hope you get a hotel and can attend!

Epcot is wonderful on New Years Eve very busy. We live a few miles from the parks and after 17 years we never get tired of Disney. We keep saying were gonna come to the villages but I still can't let go. Enjoy you night .

I think they close the park as soon as it is filled and this could happen in the first couple of hours after it opens. Due a little research and make sure you can get in.
