Originally Posted By t1lersm0m I think I'd like to be in a park on the 31st, but I'd know before going in that it was going to be really crowded and maybe it should just be a day to stroll around, relax, and catch the evening festivities. From the calendar I looked at the Magic Kingdom and Epcot are both open late, so they will probably have something special planned for that night.

I've heard the fireworks are worth it, but it' slike paying $70 to watch fireworks! Would I get a good enough view from the beach at the Poly or in front of the MK?
