8:50 Plaza Reservation

[Moon Child]

Hi there . We have an 8:50 pm plaza reservation on Dec 6th
The park is supposed to close at 9
How does that work ? We have our dinner
And when we leave the park will be closed & we’ll just leave ? Mon the plazas site mit says they close at 9 so I was confused .
thx in advance

Some restaurants and stores are open in the parks after park closing. The Plaza officially closes at 9pm, but that just means there won't be any reservations at 9pm or later. You'll be able to enjoy your dinner and when you're done, you'll just leave the park! Having later dinners in the parks is actually one of my fav things to do: it's really special to see the park all lit up and relatively empty as you're heading out.

Its no biggie.
Yeah you just eat as normal and then leave.
Its very common for people to be in the parks even an hour after closing if they have a late dinner reservation or do some shopping.
