Fantasmic and resort bus??

[momof2sons]

If we would like to see the second showing of Fantasmic, what time does the resort busses stop running?

The official time for park closing is 10pm and Fantasmic second show startes at 10:30pm. It is appro 25 min show and by the time it lets out and you make your way out it will close to 11:15 or later.

Just don't want to be stranded with 4 kids.

Don't worry, you won't be stranded. Disney is well aware of how long it takes to get to the parking lot after the 2nd showing of Fantasmic, and they will be there to get you "home". I think the official time is 2 hours after the park closes, but I've seen anyone stranded before.

We run until the park is clear. Don't worry, you won't be left behind, even if you're the last family in the park.

As long as we're on this topic, is it true that there are no buses between Epcot resorts and MGM, in particular after Fantasmic, and that you have to walk or take the (overcrowded) boat?

Personally I don't mind walking if it isn't raining or oppressively hot, but with a family I just drive. It seems a little unfair to guests at Epcot resorts.

We stayed at the YC last year and walked or boat was what we did. I don't remember seeing a bus stop for the EPCOT Resort area at MGM. But Tyler will know. He is such a wonder guy.

Once the boat service shuts down, bus service begins. So, if the park closes at 9:00pm, with a 9:00 Fantasmic, the Boats shut down promptly at 10:00. If you are left standing on the dock because of a full boat, or if you get there at 10:01, unfortunetly, you will be out of luck. Not fun, I agree. We in buses don't like how they do that either.

HOWEVER... after the boat shuts down, we do offer bus service over to the Epcot Resorts. There will be a Cast Member around the Bus Info booth, and they will direct you to load zone # 7 (typically), and that bus will take you there. Just make sure to let them know where you need to go..
