I enjoyed the Nirvana-esque take on Auld Lang Syne for the 90s

I saw a picture of the Epcot line backed up and the wait times look pretty brutal. But I’m curious how you feel the crowds are? Because my theory is Epcot absorbs crowds better than MK.

I would definitely wanna go to Epcot on New Years. A better vibe from the park about moving forward and such for today

EPCOT is definitely crowded. I arrived at about 8:45 this morning after going to AK EMH to ride FoP. Soarin and Test Track were already at 90+ minutes (park opened at 8). Frozen was still less than an hour but getting close.

EPCOT is definitely a great park to spend a crowded day. The CM’s are really working crowd control the best that they can. At about 8 p.m, it took me about 35-40 minutes to walk around World Showcase. Just manage your expectations and expect it to be crowded. I would prefer to spend NYE or any major holiday at EPCOT over Magic Kingdom.

The EPCOT Fireworks finale is incredible on the 4th of July and New Years Eve.

And a farewell to La Nouba which just ended its final show in Disney Springs. Never got the chance to see it.

Saw you come up on the live stream while watching. Only like the last 10 minutes was shown but nice to see some of it and get to say goodbye. Excited for the new show though

I got to see this show twice. I will definitely miss it.

When I was in high school and my marching band days, my band performed a field show with the music from La Nouba.

(about 800 views shy from topping that though)

Happy New Years all!

Nice for a change of pace to see a show with just a ton of fireworks and a ton of classic music (grim grinning ghosts, Daley Crocket, etc)

Is it always my connection or does the lag on the broadcast cause a grainy picture and delayed sound?

That's the spirit--- How about those dog resorts? I can't believe off site resorts get 60 day fastpasses---whaat is this world coming to?
If I book a throw away room at an off site resort, can I cancel it and get 60 day fast passes with no room at all? Hmmm....

 

[jlundeen]

I haven't heard anything - positive or negative - about the dog resorts.... There was such a big outrage when it was announced... has anyone here brought the dog on vacation to WDW??
