Garden Grill at Epcot question

[yankeepenny]

We have an ADR for the Garden Grill one night at 7-
we are staying at CBR. But doesnt the front part of Epcot close at 7? I know the world showcase
is open till much later, just want to make sure we can get in the park, we have 7 day park hopper tickets.
Thanks veterans

Yes - parts of Epcot futureworld close at seven, but that is just the ride or pavilion. Some of the stores may close as well, but you can still walk through. People enter at futureworld all night. A few of the rides stay open til 9 as well (like Test Track and Soarin').

The "back door" of Epcot, over by France, is used mostly by the Epcot resorts (Beach Club, Boardwalk, Dolphin, etc.).

Word of advice - if your ADR is for 7pm, get to the Land by 6:30pm, put your name in, and if there is any extra wait time, you can plan to see the short Lion King environmental film.

Garden Grill (now that it's back to its original menu) is one of our favorites. Gotta love that Farmer Mickey (and the apple crisp!).

You will have no trouble entering through the Future World entrance.

We have found that FW is not at all well lit at night, and it is difficult to get around.
