Do the parks usually reach full capacity early or later in the day on New Year's Eve. We will not arrive at the World until noon and have early dining plans at MGM but, thinking about finishing at Epcot for the evening. Do you think that is possible or am I just crazy.

You're just crazy. At least 2 parks will close. And be mad. See below for my list of things that are better worth my time then going to a Disney Park on NYE:
1.) Teasing a Lion in a cage, while being in that same cage
2.) Eating live, raw fish, head first
3.) Gouging my eyes out with a spoon
3a.) with a fork
3b.) with a knife
3c.) with a rusty nail
4.) Swallowing a flaming sword while heavily intoxicated
5.) Listening to "It's a small world" for four-hundred and seventy-six days straight
6.) Taking an entire bottle of nyquil, dying, being revived, and living half-dead for the rest of my life
7.) Grabbing a penny from the bottom of a jar of infected needles
8.) Real-life "frogger" on I-4
9.) Artificially inseminating elephants
and the list goes on and on...

Was there last year for NYE (without kids) and had a great time. So doing it again.
We really like the energy on NYE and then slow it down on the rest of the trip.

I'd choose your park and stay with it. You run the risk of being turned away if you try to park hop

Be ready for the busiest day of the year in WDW. Last year, Epcot peaked out at 86,000 guests.

I would love to go NYE but the ensuing divorce that would happen if I drug DH there on that particular day would be painful. :lol:

I knew that NYE was really horrible in any park at WDW, but how is New Years Day? I'll be in Epcot that day. I'm starting to get worried about it but I had figured that many people will still be sleeping in during the morning hours.
:lol:
I have a question, I would like to go to the MK for New Years Eve but I am wondering how to work it as far as a ticket. Is it a good idea to buy it in advance? But If you do, that probably is not garenteeing you will get in right? Or would it? I guess that deponds how they work it, if they sell a certain amount of tickets for that day. Then again they may already be sold out for that day in that case. I do understand its a regular park one day price, not a Party.
Warning
As a former CM let me advise you of this. You who dare to visit on New Year's Eve...The Magic Kingdom will close first, sometime around 9:30 -10:00AM quickly followed by the Studios, dealing with all the turned away guests. Epcot rarely closes because of the area of the park, but that doesn't mean it isn't jammed. Animal Kingdom may or may not close, but does not stay open late like the other parks. When I say closed, I mean they have greased up the last Guests so they can jam them through the turnstyles like cattle in a boxcar.
New Year's Day, however, is wonderful, especially in the morning hours while the partiers are still hung over. The parks are relatively dead until later in the afternoon.
The other thing to consider is bringing ear plugs. Early in the evening CMs start passing out party hats and horns, and the noise of the horns is incessant all evening long. It kind of sound like a flock of demented geese were let loose in the park.
But the energy is huge all night long.
If you've been to the parks before, then just plan on people watching and not getting on too many rides...
If you've never been to the parks before, then...just plan on people watching and not getting on too many rides.
That is my advice as a former CM
