[DisneyMickey]

It's gunna be a mess!

[painted windows]

I cant imagine how insanely crowded its gonna be

[cstephens]

PS at Blue Bayou is definitely gone for New Year's Eve. I tried a couple days ago, figuring they were booked and discovered I was right.

[Alchimedes]

Should be a good time! Love it. Insanely busy.

[PirateMickey]

I wish that we were going to be there. Sounds like fun!

Maybe next year...

[Crazy54]

I wonder what kind of music both parks will play. Im guessing that DCA will be more of a hip'er crowd.

I wish I could go. Oh well...

[pixie chick]

i went to nye 1999. i figured if the Y2K thing was going to happen, i'd rather ring in the pandemonium at DL than anywhere else. nothing Y2K related happened of course, but it was wall-to-wall people everywhere you went.

for those of you going, pack a fair amount of patience with ya!

[Darkbeer]

^Did you say to pack a "special" water bottle with you to take to the parks

Shouldn't that be a DMCA post???

[PumpkinKing!]

WOW sounds liek fun and I havent made any official plans yet either... hmmm not into crowds though lol. DCA does sound exciting!

[sir clinksalot]

^^ "Special" water bottle ... hey, don't steal our idea!!!

[tulkas]

Thinking of going for New Years to DCA. Never done it before there. Been in the resort for New Years and know that it will be nuts. It can be a lot of fun.

[sediment]

TDA should really consider making this a hard-ticket Special Event.

[SusieP.]

It's really tempting to go. We are supposed to go to a friend's house and hang with all the kids...but now my husband and son are sick. I wonder if I can sneak out...?
