I never thought it was the New Years hot spot it is. It was so packed that you could not do anything. I went for Spring Break in 08 and I was told it would be packed then. That was nothing compared to this. We went to Epcot on the 31st hoping to avoid the Big crowd. HUH, when they shut down the Magic Kingdom at 11 am on the 31st guess where everyone went. BINGO, Epcot. OMG it was like new years in time square but all day long every day.
