[@TerryB751]

The choice seems to be, pay big bucks and get into a Disney park, deal with insane crowds, wait forever for a restroom, walk a long way for limited rewards.... Or, maybe go to somewhere local with a much smaller venue, listen to a local musician, and have a few drinks close to home. Decisions, decisions. 😁

[@christopherblaisdel]

EPCOT brings in banks upon banks of auxiliary washrooms with hot and cold running water for this event. With respect to "insane crowds", which central Florida parks have you been attending that don't have insane crowds?

[@Kodachrome40]

“You could pretty much have this in an empty parking lot and it’ll be the same vibe.” Perfectly said.

[@christopherblaisdel]

By "perfectly said", do you mean, that take is patently absurd? There is a different themed New Years Eve experience literally in every pavilion, themed perfectly to that pavilion's host nation. Want to celebrate a Latin New Year's eve? You got it? Want to check out the Berlin techno scene? There you go. Paris, Tokyo? There is literally no New Year's Celebration anywhere in the Southeast that approaches the show EPCOT puts on. I mean, not only did he take off before the fireworks, but he didn't even seem to make his way in to one single pavilion. That's fine for Adam, but I would hardly use this video to conclude this was the same as setting up in an empty parking lot.

This was my first time at EPCOT for New Year's Eve, and I have already decided I will be here next year. Absolutely one of the best parties I have been to - and no, I am not some youngster - will be hitting the big 65 in a few weeks. It's ok that you didn't care for it - some do, some don't. To each their own. Be and stay well - Happy New Year!

[@mervjackson3957]

Fair. But you should have seen EPCOT 30 years ago. It was legendary. I went to a party at a local mall near Tampa that was the same as EPCOTs but saved hundreds. Florida is known for parties like this one, EPCOTs is kind of just a tourist trap. Locals know it's kind of a sucker spot where you get the same experience 15 miles to the Northeast but spend a fraction. To each their own though because it helps the Florida economy to have the upcharges. Either way, the point is to have fun so it's nice to hear you did man! Also Happy New Year as well!

[@Sir-Ray]

@@mervjackson3957 Cool beans! I've been to DW since it opened in '71, when my parents took me for the first time. We lived in NYC at the time (local now) and always went several times a year. This was the first time not attending a 'regular' party, so I decided to hang out at EPCOT, which I agree was AMAZING years ago (less so today, but I still like it). Annual pass holder, and since I attend regularly, it's not expensive - but I definitely agree with the tourists and upcharges, lol. Heck, even I paid for Jollywood - which I knew enough not to attend the first night and waited for a couple of weeks - definitely not as bad as first reported, but I will say there should have been 'more.' Anywho - Happy New Year to you and yours!

Maybe I've just gotten old and grumpy, but the videos I watch of Disney parks now-a-days are far from what I experienced 10-20 years ago when my family used to go every year. It seems like Disney has lost a lot of it's "magic" feeling to me. That's the vibe I get now. I have a ton of good memories from back in the day, but I haven't seen anything in the past few years that makes me want to spend the thousands of dollars it costs to go back. Doesn't seem worth the cost anymore.

When we first started going, the longest wait was probably 30 minutes, and that was rare, even without fastpass. Now, it’s ridiculous! We’re DVC members, so it’s hard to say goodbye to Disney altogether, but we’re spending fewer days than we used to, less time at the parks, and less overall time on property.

[@PianomanKY]

@@LauraB.335 My family wasn't DVC members but we'd save up each year and do our trip somewhere between end of november and end of January. Was my favorite time to go. Weather was awesome, Christmas decor was pretty and the crowds were relatively low except for the holiday days obviously. I think the most we ever waited for a ride was an hour or so. This was a few years before and couple years after they introduced the fast passes. I fondly remember the amazing meal plan that got you an appetizer, entree, dessert for each meal ticket and even included the tip. They stopped that real quick. lol

[@Blatsen]

I agree with you, Adam, and I appreciate you calling out the obnoxious, over the top, fraternity style party scene at EPCOT. I hate how EPCOT went from being a classy, educational, highbrow park in the 1980s and 90s into being the trashy, drunken, debauch, lowbrow park that it is now. EPCOT is now just a fancy backdrop for raucous partying that could just as easily take place in any parking lot, field, or dank, dark, dusty, dirty, musty, moldy frat house basement anywhere in the world. I’m not into the party scene now at age 41 and I wasn’t when I was younger either. I’m a night owl, but I’m not into the nighttime vibe at EPCOT. Disney parks should have remained true to Walt’s vision to not serve alcohol. I spent New Year’s Eve enjoying some beautiful, relaxing Christmas light displays near me that aren’t crowded this late in the Christmas season. The Way of Lights show at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville, IL, and the WonderLight Christmas show at Worldwide Technology Raceway in Madison, IL are both great Christmas light displays that are more enjoyable than New Year’s Eve at EPCOT.

[@Locoboy5150]

Thank you Adam for your honest opinions about New Year's at Epcot. I have never been to Walt Disney World for New Year's but my wife and I did spend New Year's Eve at Disneyland about twelve years ago. That was when you could only buy alcohol at Disneyland in Club 33 so rampant public drunks were nowhere to be found in Disneyland back then. (I am the lone guy way out in left field here but I absolutely do not like the recent decision to sell alcohol in Disneyland outside of Club 33.) But the New Year's atmosphere in Disneyland that I experienced was similar to what you show and describe here at Epcot in your video. Disneyland was packed to the rafters that night, which was not a surprise at all. What was a surprise to my wife and I was how the entire park was turned into a dance club with loud music (complete with repetitive drum machine beats) playing everywhere throughout the park. The DJ playing the music was on a lit up stage in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. It completely shattered the Disneyland themeing throughout the whole park. When I visit Disneyland I like to get lost in the themeing, including the background music and overall ambient sounds of the various lands. That was all completely flushed down the drain during New Year's Eve on our visit. Don't get me wrong because I absolutely love live music. I have been attending rock concerts for several decades now, so I appreciate loud, live music. I just don't like loud recorded music playing in "The Happiest Place On Earth" at all. It was interesting to go just once but my wife and I swore to never go back to Disneyland again on New Year's. I like to hear nice live jazz in New Orleans Square as I am sipping a mint julep and eating Mickey beignets. I do not want to hear some nauseating dance music "created" by a Roland drum machine and cranked up to 110 decibels there on Royal Street. Just like you Adam, my wife and I just stuck around to see what it was like and when we quickly realized that New Year's at Disneyland was most definitely not the Disneyland that we knew and loved, we went back to our hotel around 9:00 PM. Once there, we enjoyed a very nice relaxing meal in our room in our PJs and watched the Disneyland fireworks from the window. I have read many of the comments here and there are a lot of people that totally disagree with me (and you) regarding destroying the themeing and ambience of a Disney theme park because...well...New Year's. I get it...I really do. It's just one night of the year. In the big picture it is not a huge deal. If you like that scene, then by all means, what I (and Adam in his video) have said here will not change your opinion one bit. That's OK with me. All that I know is that my wife and I experienced it once at Disneyland and once was enough for us. It sounds like Adam feels the same way about Epcot. The morning after New Year's at Disneyland was absolutely fantastic though. I guess that all of the partiers decided to sleep in so the park was relatively empty until about noon. It was absolutely quiet and relaxing. It was back to the Disneyland that my wife and I knew and loved - The Happiest Place On Earth. Thanks again Adam for the video. Now that I've seen what it's like at Epcot on New Year's - no thanks!

[@barbslife5460]

That is a great plan! Celebrate New Years Day in an empty park! Great tip lol! Happy 2024.

One of your last visits to Epcot was some years ago on New Years Eve. There were drinks for sale just about everywhere and drunk adults,Disney also had the idea to give out whistles. The whole atmosphere was horrendous and we left about 10.00, went back to the Hotel and watched the fireworks at midnight from there, We felt so sorry for the children. That was quite a few years ago now and we have not returned. Thanks so much for all you do, good luck with your lovely looking new house and all the very best for 2024

[@ValhallaKnight2]

I have to say, I went to disney world just this last summer, and the staff, the employees were super awesome. My experience with other guest was horrible. I had people pushing and shoving cutting lines, one woman pushed my 5 year old daughter into a pole in the line. I was so pissed. I was so angry at other people. I absolutely hated it. I will not take my kid to disney world ever again until people fix themselves. I can only imagine how the staff are treated. It wasn't Disneys fault at all. The attitude and the disrespect of people now just runins a good thing.

[@barbslife5460]

The same thing happened about 7 years ago to us at Six Flags in NJ. I had to restrain my husband as people cut while we were in line but after they pushed my stepdaughter my husband lost it. I have never been back to six flags since. It’s an inner city mentality now. Push and shove.

People didn’t need Epcot to be that, there are plenty of drunken places where no one is self-aware.

We even went dancing on a light changing dance floor, but everyone was sober enjoying cookies and cream hot cocoa and hot cake in a jar with strawberries and whip cream.

Nothing wrong with a drink, but if you need to be drunk at Disney to have fun you need a 12 steps program not a kids theme park. Sincerely, I seriously know many people who are happier after 12 step programs like CR. I have even gone with friends to programs like that and help them to learn how to relax and still have fun in ways they can remember.

I know it wasn't the best visit but look at it this way, you actually made some of us laugh, and not feel alone...lol even though it was a sucky visit 😆 anyway I still loved it. So *💋* To you and everyone in the group. All of y'all have been so nice. Here's to praying our New Year will bring us more laughter and more ~Woo~

[@CarlosRodriguez-c9y]

Im 34 and that would have been miserable to me as well. I live right down the road from the backgates of the employee entrance and just had a nice night outside watching Disney fireworks and all the neighbors that where going crazy. Hope this New Years is better for you Woo and I cant wait to see what this year holds for us threw your content happy new year brother.

[@MindofSmoothie]

Happy New Year! That looked like a good time if I was in my 20s, but I very much enjoyed sitting on my couch sipping on an adult beverage and watching Rambo: First Blood to ring in the new year. Hope you enjoyed you movie!

It's like Pleasure Island has returned.

[@DocDoccus]

When getting drive-thru Del Taco and watching a movie at home is the best New Year's Eve plan ever. 😁

[@sonconato9480]

Oh Adam, I got flashbacks of my own experience at Epcot on New Year's Eve. My Family and I got as far as the old Odyssey restaurant and turned around and went home. I totally feel for you, and you made a wise choice to go home.

[@irenemazur3556]

Couldn’t pay me enough to go there at NewYear’s Eve. Nothing like being comfortable at home and away from lunacy.

[@Franko-vf3mr]

Oh man, "annnnnd I'm at a Red Sox's game......" You are really upping your game Adam ! Love it ! Sorry though that the experience was not what you were expecting. And congratulations on becoming a homeowner, well done sir.

[@thegoodspirit5288]

We were there in January 2004 when it was becoming 2005... Epcot wasn't nearly that bad and was the 1st time we saw that amazing fireworks show there. The one with the earth that opened in the center of the lagoon. Becoming one of our favorite firework shows of all time! After, 2020 people want to get even drunker it seems these days. It's not just Disney that deals with this now either! Sorry, to hear about your New Years at Epcot this year. Hope you enjoyed the film though once you were home!? Happy New Year's and take care my friend.

I was at Magic Kingdom once on New Years Day, the park was so crowded they had to close down because the park was at capacity before noon. It was shoulder to shoulder people in the walkways at some points. I didn't stay there long. Was just too many people.

[@bsr6823]

It must rose colour glasses you are wearing. I drank around the world for the first time about 25 years ago now. Epcot has always been a party zone. Alcohol is a huge part of the world showcase and always has been.

[@thegoodspirit5288]

@@bsr6823 Well, I was a teenager at that time and it didn't seem nowhere near as chaotic as that? Again, 2020 just changed how people act and do everything these days.

Happy New Years Adam ! May 2024 smile good fortunes on you as you send out positive vibes into the world.

[@AliceConsortium]

Ha ha! Not many positive vibes in this video 😂

[@Rifftraxfan]

Have never laughed harder at a video from you, this was amazing😂

[@JUDYDAK]

Epcot during the day is a great place but like you said after dark it turns into a drunkfest. Totally agree with you. Glad you did it and gave us your true opinion on it. Can't wait to see what 2024 holds for you!

[@TheDailyWoo]

It’s like two different places day vs night

[@jackandsally79]

You must not go during Food and Wine.

[@deniseboldea1624]

Happy New Year to you and your family. I agree with you, I'd rather spend New Years Eve at Home. Too many drunken fools out there trying to forcibly kiss you at Midnight. UGH!

[@tylertalk6746]

As an introvert, this is my nightmare, as well. I dont mind strolling the parks with a beer, but this looks chaotic.

[@369284ab]

Same

[@LoRien222]

I totally agree. That kind of claustrophobic loud environment is a no go for me. Especially in these days Disney cannot possibly control that many people especially when they get to the point of drunkenness. It’s just not feasible.

[@waynekaminski5006]

Happy New Year Adam! I’m with you. Just not my thing to be amongst the vomiting huddled masses. Glad I did not go to Disney last night. Anyway, Happy 2024 in your new home! Cheers

[@FaithwalkerTodd]

It’s actually a cool situation if you’re into that. As I get older, now into my 60s, that kind of vibe is just too loud. I don’t mind peeking in, wandering around real quick but I need to have a window out. I think you played it perfectly.

[@juanfavela6597]

Thanks Adam!! I don’t agree but love your perspective…. Happy new year and, I wish you fortune

[@jamescrumpler7178]

I agree completely Adam that is not what I would call fun. Epcot is one of my favorite parks as well and unfortunately current events brings out the not so family friendly atmosphere

[@Mrs.Frankenstein]

It's awful to see how people have to drink every where to have a good time anymore. I'm in my mid 30s and don't drink and I can see why you didn't have a good time. Happy New Year!🎉

[@mev202]

Wow Adam, change the title to "old man yells at cloud." As all you did was moan at the audacity of people having fun at Disney, on New Year's eve.

[@barbslife5460]

That was hell on earth and you did me a huge favor by showing us why never to go to NYE at a Disney Park.

[@markreardon3472]

Happy New Year to everyone. May 2024 bring peace and prosperity to everyone. Two Thumbz 👍👍
