Eating at Park after closing

[Knelson85]

hey everyone,

I just made my first ADR's today...and got them all!!! My only problem is on December 18th, I have Le Cellier for 9:20 (only time left available), but the park closes at 9:30. How do I leave the park to get back to my resort (I am staying at POP)? And will the christmas lights still be turned on, and we will still be allowed to walk around the park?

Thanks a lot!

My thoughts are that they'll be working to clear the park, so while the lights will still be on lolygaging will most probably not be encouraged. You'll also want to make sure to get back to the buses before they shut down for the evening - last time I was there I believe they allowed between 1 and 1.5 hours for park clearing.

I know there have been people in Chefs de France until 10:30 (long story). That will be about when you are finishing up your meal at LeCellier. Walking around Epcot might be possible but probably not encouraged so I wouldn't plan on that. What I would suggest is that you leave Epcot via the International Gateway and then grab a cab at the Boardwalk back to Pop Century. It's not that fair (no, you cannot walk it) so it's not going to be that expensive.

If you've never been to the Epcot resort area, you can take this opportunity to visit those resorts and see their Christmas decorations.

The reason I'm suggesting planning on the cab is I sure would not want to rush myself through a LeCellier dinner so I could make a bus back to the resort. You will not be hurried through dinner by the staff so why impose that on yourself?
