    I read that the parks can reach capacity on New Years Eve. If we purchase a lightening lane in advance for a park that has reached capacity will we still be allowed in or does it just get refunded or how does that work?

    Hey there, Lucia, and welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad that you've found us here - my Panelist pals and I are always happy to help fellow Guests like you! It sounds like you're planning an exciting holiday visit to Walt Disney World Resort!

    Lucia, I am thrilled that you're planning to spend New Year's Eve at a Disney Theme Park! Since New Year's Eve is typically one of the most popular days of the year to visit the Parks, you'll definitely benefit from booking Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass ahead of your visit. At this time, valid park admission and a booked Lightning Lane pass do not guarantee entry if a park is to reach capacity. My advice would be to arrive early and plan to spend the day in the park where you'd like to ring in the New Year. 

    I've been to Walt Disney World Resort for New Year's Eve many times, and I can say that the festivities live up to the hype! There's a good reason why so many people want to be in the parks as they count down to midnight - Disney really knows how to celebrate with amazing nighttime spectaculars! I really enjoy being in EPCOT for New Year's Eve, because each country in the World Showcase feels like a completely different and authentic cultural experience, and it's like you're actually celebrating in that country! It helps that most of my favorite snacks are in EPCOT, so between the dancing and celebrating, I'm keeping my energy up with delicious delights like the fresh caramel popcorn at Karamell-Kuche in Germany. 

    Lucia, I hope this is helpful as you plan your visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth! Please stop back by planDisney with any other questions you have as you continue your countdown to your visit!

    See you real soon!
