How late does the bus run?

[phabric]

We plan on going to Animal Kingdom in August, their hours are 8-5 - early am.

We have reservations for Rainforest for 5:15, the meal will probably take 1-1 1/2 hours(?).

Will the bus still be running?

 

[mrzrich]

yes, and as an aside, the park hours will likely be extended when they open the new Rivers of Light night time show and the night time safari.

We were at Tusker House for dinner and we finished our meal way after the park closed.
We then enjoyed the quiet walk out of the park, taking a few pictures of the empty park along the way.

At the exit, there were CMs asking where we were heading and "arrange" a bus for us. At that time, there were about 20 guests at the exit, waiting for buses, all going to different resorts / destinations.

We ended up sharing a bus with another family. The bus dropped them off at All Stars Music Resort first, and then took us to POFQ resort.

So, no worry about transport.

(We enjoyed it so much that we would do it again in March, when ROL and Night Safari likely would not start yet. We loved and adored the quiet AK.)

Normally the buses run for at least an hour after park closing, but Disney is not going to strand you at a theme park. When the crowds start thinning out, they will start to consolidate bus lines (e.g., instead of just going some of the Epcot resorts, one bus will now go to all of the Epcot resorts). They'll continue to do this as long as there are guests in the park. It might mean a longer wait for the bus to leave the station, but you'll ultimately get back to your resort. Alternatively, there are probably taxis hanging around at the taxi stands as long as there are still folks coming out of the parks.

buses run until every person is where they need to be.

you never have to worry about disney leaving you behind.
