                We decided against the parks on NYE-as we thought it might be very crowded.
We went for a meal and then made our way to the Hotel Boardwalk where we were able to see Epcot and the MGM fireworks from the bridge.
I was pleased that we hadn't done a park -it was a particularly cold night.
I think you would get a good atmosphere at City Walk.

                hi jamie
last new years eve we were in universals island of adventure. For teenagers it is one hell of a party. They give out hats blowers and other party gear. There are discos , live bands, dancing as well as all the rides.
When we flew home with virgin, the crew said that is where they always go on new years eve.
You can book a meal to eat in the park, it is a set menu different for lunch /evening meal. You can book in the kiosk in city walk. We booked that morning but did not have much choice of times.

                Everything will be open through the holiday including New Years Day. I'd go to Universal but go early as it will be packed.
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
        
                
                Help...we are booked for Orlando on 28th December and wondered what they do to celebrate New Years Eve.  Is Disney open all night?, will we need seperate tickets to enter the theme parks or will a normal pass give you access, do individual hotels have parties?.  Getting quite worried now don't want to be disappointed or let down. 
 
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
        
                
                Hi  
 
We are thinking of going to Florida for christmas and the Keys for new years. 2 adults and 2 teenagers. I have a few questions if anybody could help.
Is this a VERY busy time of the year?
  Will the parks be open most of the time? How will the weather be? Any general thoughts that I should be aware of. 
Thanks

we went to Florida several Christmas' ago. Yes the parks were busy(Magic Kingdom especially) and the car parks open by 7am and can close by 9am!
But I will say that was the best Christmas we have ever had. The atmosphere was superb.
We went to Magic Kingdom on Christmas Day not expecting to get on any rides. But we were wrong as the rides were quite quiet during the parades.
Shorts and t-shirts weather, eating Turkey drumsticks(huge) and ice-lollies.
Just go it was fab

        any help would be appreciated
                
                You might take a look at http://www.BritishFlorida.com  and then click on Pubs- there are quite a few in the Kissimmee and Orlando area. You might find one of those offering British Christmas Lunch.
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
        
                
                helo anone been to orlando chistmas..Planningto go 2008..Anyone have any info regarding weather etc..Will [parks be busy??
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
        
                
                It will be VERY busy - its very popular due to the Xmas decorations in the parks  and the relatively mild weather.... all combines to  make it a very attractive Xmas period destination in the US.
- On Xmas Day, the main park based attractions will be so packed they often have to stop admitting people !
Weather should be pleasant, sunny, warm for the most part... but often cool in the mornings and evenings and of course it goes dark relatively early. Weather can also be rather unpredictable with the possibility of frost / rain/ hot weather as luck dictates !
