Top 10 Reasons Not to Visit Disney Parks on New Year's Eve
Disney parks are often cited the Happiest Place or Most Magical Place on Earth & Where Dreams Come True. Unfortunately that's never entirely true & especially not true on New Year's Eve. here's why.
I am guessing this is the same thing as number one on the list about New York Times Square. If people absolutely can't resist going at that time, then it is OK. However, I think it is a good idea to point out reasons why they should consider doing something else. I will just be going to a normal park.
Disney Parks are too crowded, so I won't visit any of them. I will get uncomfortable by being touched or pushed, and they have long lines that make anyone wait too long. Security is crazier, and there's too much demand. I'm not going to visit any Disney Park because they are too crowded.
Disney Parks charge extra money on New Year's Eve due to the growing popularity of the celebration. It's overpriced madness. Everything costs too much, including the tickets, merchandise, and food. Paying so much money for a Disney trip is ridiculous, especially on New Year's Eve.
On New Year's Eve, the parks are so crowded they reach capacity. For parks a half mile in diameter or more, those dozens of thousands of people can fill them up, meaning they're crammed together.
Think about it: Times Square is extremely crowded on New Year's Eve, and it's the same with Disney parks. In worse cases, people can trample each other, which is a safety hazard. All this takes away the fun.
On New Year's Eve, lines are extra long, with wait times often exceeding 3 hours and sometimes reaching 4 or 5 hours for attractions. Think about it: long lines for attractions. There are lines everywhere, including just to get into the park or even to the restrooms.
It's basically like an outdoor convention at that time of year - nothing but crowded madness and extremely long lines. The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had a 4-hour wait, Slinky's wait was over 5 hours, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout had a 3-hour 20-minute wait. Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom had waits of more than 4 hours on New Year's Eve in 2018. Standing for such long periods increases the risk of back and neck problems. No wonder New Year's Eve is such a big deal for them.
In such crowded environments, you're more likely to get touched and pushed by others, and you might do the same to others. It's indescribable chaos and more than an annoyance.
It's just pure creepy horror. People can crash into one another and even fight like it's Black Friday. Nothing but pure chaos.
With so many crowds and chaos, you have to wait hours just to watch the fireworks and the countdown to the new year. Many guests who are done with the attractions have to wait up to 6+ hours just for the fireworks. It's beyond crazy, and that's an understatement.
New Year's Eve at Disney Parks is so busy and crowded that many guests are unable to visit the desired attractions. It's pure chaos and can be miserable for people who wanted to go on those attractions badly.

When Disney parks get so crowded on days like New Year's Eve, security is placed under more stress, and measures can be even stricter and crazier. They're trying their best to keep the place and guests safe, but it's extremely difficult at a time like this.
Disney parks are so crazy, the demand is out of this world. People gather beyond historic levels, causing chaos even when trying to have fun. It seems almost impossible to enjoy Disney parks on New Year's Eve with all the crowd demand.
It's so demanding that it practically takes away the fun. Disney advertises people to go, and even the price is high, meaning very expensive tickets. FastPass is in extra demand too, as people try to flood the FastPass lines to avoid long standby waits. New Year's Eve is NOT the best time to go to Disney.
