FoP FP at park closing time?

[jenhelgren]

Is there a still grace period for FP's that end at park closing time? We plan on viewing RoL at 7:45 the last Saturday in October and I was able to get FP for FoP 7:30-8:30. If RoL is 15 minutes and begins on time that will give is 30 minutes to get out and over to Pandora, but I'm wondering if our window will end right at 8:30 since it is park close. There is a RoL show also scheduled for 9 now as Disney is adding hours but the park close time is still at 8:30.

You aren't able to enter the queue at park close or after.

Yes, this is correct. We had a pass that ended at 9:30 pm on a night the park closed at the same time. I spoke with a CM at the line prior in the evening and he told me, to be safe, be in the line by 9:25 pm to make sure we got on. We also did ROL that night and then high-tailed it over to FOP. You will be able to get from ROL to FOP in 30 minutes - just move fast! BTW, riding it a park closing is pretty cool. When you get out, Pandora is still lit up, but the crowds have dispersed.

How long did it take you after RoL to get to FoP? This is our first time with RoL and Pandora so I don't know where the crowds disperse or how chaotic it will be trying to get back into Pandora?

With RoL scheduled for 9pm now too--is there a good chance that the park hours will be extended past 8:30 or is it common for RoL to be after park closing time?
