While it's still fresh in people's minds... Thought I would ask about NYE in the parks. Last year (2018) we spent NYE at MK and had a blast. We will be in FL again next Christmas (visiting family). We had initially thought we might spend NYE at Epcot this time, but it has been several years since we were at Universal and we are all missing it, so we are thinking of doing that instead.
Other than the obvious "it will be crazy levels of crowded insanity", which we managed fine at WDW, any tips or tricks, things to not miss, etc? I'm not seeing any option online for anything like the dessert party with reserved fireworks viewing like MK does, is that right? (Because that was awesome last year!) We probably wouldn't be interested in the adult-only Citywalk party, unless the kids decide they really want to ditch us for the night anyway.
Thinking about staying at Portofino (probably 4 nights, leaving in NY Day.) We've stayed at RPR and HRH already and like to try different places each time. I'm a little worried though that PB is farther away- is it going to be significantly more difficult to get back there after the fireworks on NYE?
Anything else you can share about NYE? Thanks!
