Epcot Entertainment for New Year's Eve


In less than one week, we'll celebrate the arrival of 2014 and it looks like Epcot will be alive with a variety of entertainment to help ring in the new year! 

Here is a quick synopsis of what to expect:

Park Hours
Future World 8:00 am to 1:00 am
World Showcase 9:30 am to 1:00 am.

There will be EXIT bypass gates available during the evenings at the World Showplace, Mexico and next to China from 5:30 pm to 12:30 am. This should help (a little) with crowd flow and control.

Temporary Bars will be available on the promenade at Mexico, China, Italy, Germany, American Adventure, Japan, Morocco, France and Canada.

Hat and Horn distribution will be from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm in Future World West, Future World East and The American Adventure Pavilion in World Showcase. To help cut down on long lines, appoint one member of your group to pick these up for you. Everyone will appreciate it.

I'm going against everything I believe in when it comes to rumors, specifically DISNEY rumors, but I find this one way too juicy (and likely accurate) to pass up. According to a few reputable WDW fan websites, it seems that the Studio Backlot Tour is poised to close down at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We know that since Oaken's Trading Post and Frozen Funland are moving out of the Soundstage 1 area, work should soon begin on the rumored (and much needed) third track for Toy Story Mania.  Why close the Backlot Tour?
