I will be doing the Backstage Safari (if I can get in) when I go in May, so will probably need the rest of the day to tour. My questions is--if I make PS at Rainforst Cafe for around 5:00 pm, will the WDW buses still be running when I get finished (since AK will be closing at 5:00pm). I really want to eat at RF that day, but don't want to have to go to DTD or take time out at lunch to do so.
Also I would like to make a PS for Rose & Crown at 7:45-7:50pm and then wait for a patio table (and then eat very slow) to view Illuminations. Do you think that since I'll be solo this will hurt my chances of doing so? I plan to tell them when I check in that if I get the table, I wouldn't have a problem with another party sitting with me (the waiter would get two tips from one table that way). What has your luck been getting a good patio table to view Illuminations?
