Does anybody know how many people they'll let in before closing the gates? And do they do any extra New Year's festivities at Epcot? I think it would be fun if they did them at each country when they passed into the new year (at least the ones during park hours), but I could see how most guests wouldn't nessecarily get it if it wasn't listed somewhere. I can't think of a better way to usher in the new year than a showing of Illuminations.

I took some pictures of the inside of the Fantasia 2009 buffet decor with my phone. You can see them at Myspace.com/iviiix (go under pictures than the NYE 08' folder) As far as extra entertainment just the DJs & the NYE tag after IllumiNations to count down to the New Year which includes a special small fireworks show from each country in the order they rang in the New Year.
