I don't know all the phases but I know that Day Guest and AP Holders are a different phase. So i think you missed a phase or they close the parking lot the same time they close the park to day guests and SP Holders.

Phase 1: Guests with MYW base tickets, one day tickets, guests with no admission, and CMs using a main gate are turned around at the Auto Plaza.
Phase 2: Only resort guests, AP/PAP, Park Hoppers, guests re-entering the same park admitted, ONLY if using a taxi or resort transportation. (Auto Plaza is closed)
Phase 3: Only resort guests and AP/PAP admitted. (Only resort transportation)
Phase 4: Closed to all guests. (No incoming transportation)

A note - parking can close prior to the park going into any phases, it's merely a matter of running out or extremely low on spaces. That's why for example Epcot was diverting to MGM but still admitting guests.

Correct. I didn't put it on my list but the first thing that happens before any phases is alternative parking.mousermerf said:
Alternative parking: Due to limited parking, guests arriving at (insert park) should use alternate parking at (insert park) and use Resort transportation to return to (insert park).

Soarin' Fastpasses on NYE
I was at Epcot on NYE, I arrived at 8.ooam and went to get Fastpasses for Soarin'. The CM's at the fastpass machines where just giving them out, all you had to do was say how many you wanted and you didn't even have to use your tickets. My party got 4 lots which for 11.30 to 12.30 but we used them during the rest of the day. Some people were saving that they needed 8 but only had 2 tickets, the CM didn't even check to see how many tickets they had.
I had a great veiw of the NYE fireworks from near Germany, we where in a private area that they used for filming. We just got in just before the show started. It was on of the best veiwings I've ever had of the any Illuminations.

AGREED!! We go 12/25--1/3 for that same reason!! Now that we are older, it's not "all about the rides" all the time. New Years Eve we walk into Epcot as soon as it opens, grab a few Fastpasses for some rides, go back to Yacht Club, and head back into Epcot for dinner and to use the Fastpasses before heading to the video dance party at Japan and the New Year!!
I love that Holiday energy with the huge, swelling crowds!!

I went to Epcot on NYE in the morning, and it was pretty crazy like others are saying. The Land was pretty much impossible to walk into. It took me 15 minutes just to walk in the doors and down to Soarin' to see the 150 minute wait. So we went to Test Track where the single riders line was 80 minutes. We got in line for that, but I wasn't satisfied. I went over to Mission: Space and saw the single riders line was 20 minutes, so I pounced. Of course things are going to be crowded on big holidays, but you just need to be patient and find your opportunities. After that we had a great lunch at Canada and went to MGM for the rest of the night. It was crowded, but we still got on every ride with a walk on for Star Tours, walk on for Muppets 3D, walk on for Great Movie Ride, no crazy line wait for Fantasmic, 3 times on RNR, and 30 minutes for Tower of Terror. NYE is the best time to go to Disney World.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
A few more pictures from today:
I rode Body Wars 4 or 5 times today with never more than a 2 or 3 minute wait:
Body Probe B229:
I saw Cranium Command with nearly a full house. The audience really got into it, and it seemed much better than I remember it:
Even Journey Into Imagination had a wait:
Roaming around google, found it interesting that I found this post! I can't believe you were probably one of the last people to go into WoL, it really amazes me that Body Wars didn't even have a line yet you say Cranium Command was almost full! Since you said they liked it, I think Disney should bring CC back at least SOMEwhere in Epcot...
....it's really scary that Imagination had a wait...:lookaroun
