Hi,
So my family of 7 (two adults, an 18 y/o, a 16 year old, 11 y/o, 7 y/o, and 5 y/o) will be spending 12/30 - 1/5 at WDW this year. I have been trying to plan New Years Eve for what we will do, and here’s what I’m thinking (opinions/advice on changing the plan would be helpful!)
The day before NYE, I was planning on taking the 3 older kids to MK for the fireworks on the 30th as we have one day with only 4 park tickets. For NYE we were thinking to spend the first half of the day at AK. I figure it’ll be the least crowded of the parks since they don’t have any special NYE events going on. We have a reservation for lunch at Tusker House. The only thing I’m worried about is getting to AK from the Poly, I’ve read that traffic is insane, and as the Disney Transportation buses can be a long wait, we usually take an Uber, so I’m not sure what’ll be fastest. We would go back to the Poly late afternoon and spend a few hours at the pool. DH thinks if we go to Epcot late with the kids, around 9:00 or 10:00, we might be able to get in to see fireworks as people with young kids leave. How likely is this? I’m worried about Epcot being full to capacity. If we cant, we’ll probably end up watching the fireworks from the Poly.
Thanks!
