    I've never been there around this time of year. Probably won't go into a park on the 31st...

    What kind of crowds am I looking at?

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.

    As for crowds, I did the identical week last year- It was fairly dead. Use Fastpasses when you can and you'll be fine.

    My parents want to go in the Magic Kingdom on the 31st for the fireworks, but I have a hard time using a pass up when we won't even get to the park until mid-late afternoon. 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?
