How late is Guest Relations open in the parks?

Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone can help... We are getting in late on arrival day and heading straight to an 8:30 dinner at Epcot. Epcot closes at 9:00, however I was hoping I could stop at Guest Relations on our walk out of the park after dinner to purchase a Tables in Wonderland card. It will probably be 9:45 by the time we'd make it there, which is after the park is technically closed. Disney's website says Guest Relations is open during standard operating hours for that park, however I'm wondering if they linger around to potentially assist guests with late dining reservations. Anyone know? Thanks!

They'll stay open for a bit after park closing but not too long, and by 9:45 there's a likelihood they'll have closed up shop for the day. Can you purchase the card prior to your ADR?

They are the last area to close. The guest relations lobby will be open until the last guest has left the park!

Thank you both for your responses! We will be getting in so late, we're just barely going to make our 8:30 dinner reservation. I won't have time to do it until after dinner. So I'm hoping you're right, ct7878! I want to have my TIW card to use at breakfast the following morning.

While it's been a long time, I used to work MKGR when I was in college. Most think of guest relations as a place just for tix, but they manage a lot more like lost children, missing party members, lost and found, accident reports, guest challenges etc...so, there should always be someone available- I am pretty sure that this would not have changed

I'm glad to hear this because I'm hoping we can get to AK guest relations on our arrival day to buy TIW. We land just before 3pm and will take DME to AKV, then hopefully DH can quickly get over to AK to buy it before we have dinner at Boma. AK closes at 5pm, so I know it might be too late, but maybe we'll get lucky. Wish they'd let us DVC members buy TIW ahead of time!
