Are the food court/fast food areas open 24 hours for beverages and use of microwaves?

I can't seem to find a definite answer to this question. We will be staying at AoA and would like to use the microwave at night if possible. We may change to another value resort if a promotion is released that excludes AoA but I am assuming all resorts are the same.

Any help would be appreciated!

Last year the food court doors locked at 11pm at Pop Century. Unless it has changed since last year. Maybe Art of Animation is different.

The food courts close at 11 pm.

The bakeries and beverage stations reopen at 6:00 am; everything else opens at 7:00 am.

Ok so this is where the frustration sets in. I am assuming that when I travel a promo will be released but AOA will not participate. I am good with that and therefore was pro active and called Pop Century (I realize when I call it is not the front desk) but they said the food court is open 24/7!

Previous posters said 11? What about extended park nights?

Definitely not 24/7.

Everything Pop is open from 6:00 AM-Midnight all year.

After 11:00 PM,usually only one "station" is open.All of the "stations" don't open immediately at 6:00 AM for Breakfast either.

Here is some great info.

I did not mean that the food was available 24/7 but they said that access to the food court for drinks and microwave was open all night.

Oh well..it will be fine! Thanks!

Three weeks ago at Pop, doors were locked. You could not even get into the area where the microwaves and soda were located. It was closed and locked and I think it was around midnight when that happened. I wanted a Diet Coke before bed and could not get one at the food court.

The food courts close at a certain time. Even the beverage stations. Otherwise, any person could meander their way in and get free drinks even if they didn't have a resort mug.

This is how it was in August as well. We got back from MK around 2am after EMH and the gates were down/doors locked.

At POR/POFQ, it's always been food until 11pm, pizza until 12 midnight, beverages until 12 midnight, food court area locked at 12 midnight. Since the food court has fridges with products for sale, and more products for sale on open counters and unsecured, it can't be left open 24/7 just for those wanting beverages or microwave access. They are all together in the same "room." There are beverage machines in each building for late purchases.

I think at Poly, Captain Cook's food court is open 24/7, but no food stations after 11pm.

Yea, there were many nights we got back from the parks and the food court was closed . Better pick something up at the parks if you want a snack or drink and it's past food court closing time.

Plus,the chairs are put on the tables and the 6 hour "downtime" is used to clean the floor,etc.
