As far as I can tell that was 2013. All other years they only do the 360 on July 3 and July 4, no 180.

Replying to myself...
The actual New Years Eve showing was pretty much the same setup, but the left adjacent launch in SSL was working when the previous night it wasn't.
6 total launches, 3 behind MK and 3 in SSL to mirror. Too bad it wasn't a full 360 tho..

Coming here to say: I worked at EPCOT on NYE on the bridge between UK/France - EPCOT was tolerable & dare I say almost pleasant crowd-wise. Was it busy? yes? Was it phase-4? absolutely not.
I hate hate HATE the reservation system, however, NYE proved it works for limiting capacity. Lets keep it just for major holidays, K?

To play devil's advocate here, you didn't need the reservation system to limit capacity before. They hit a number and would stop entry. I just think the reservation system is a waste of time. I liked being able to get up in the morning and say, lets go to park x... instead of... ok, no matter what we have to go there... at least to check in before we can park hop to a park that you can't get a reservation for. It's just dumb.

It's a lot easier to limit capacity up front than to turn people away.

Is there anything stopping you from doing that now?
I know on the busiest days they've run out of park reservations, but once everything is running full bore again I can't imagine any of the parks will be out of reservations on the vast majority of days. You could just wake up and make a reservation for whichever park you decide you want to visit that morning. Or is there something preventing you from making day of park reservations? I haven't paid that much attention to the system so I could be missing something.
Regardless, the 2 PM park hopping is the real problem IMO; that's a gigantic deterrent to me making a trip to WDW anytime soon.

Silent dance party NYE brings back memories! Was it at Japan again? The China courtyard DJ techno music with the dragon shooting out real flames and heat above the dance floor made the place a hot place to get your groove on!

You can make park reservations on the day, subject to availability.

Except haven't we seen people with APs unable to make reservations, but reservations available for regular day guests? (Not during a black-out period?)

This. as much as i hate to admit it. Universal caught SO MUCH crap for doing this in the summer of 2020

That would fall under the “subject to availability”. So there has to be availability for your ticket type.

Went to MK on the 30th and Epcot on the 31st. MK was one of the slowest 30ths I've ever seen outside of I think 4 years ago when it was rainy and cold. I have never experienced Epcot that slow on NYE. I have been to Food and Wine Saturdays that were busier. It was one of the most enjoyable NYE I have ever had there. Likes the updated version of the NYE fireworks which integrated the Harmonious Barges video screens, lights and fountains.
