How long after park close is package pickup open?

[Mississippianna]

I know you can linger after park closing, so how long after closing is the package pickup window open? I'm specifically thinking of Epcot. I'm planning a day of wandering and shopping, then maybe taking our time to leave after Illuminations to avoid the crush of people at the buses. Will we be able to take a leisurely exit if we have purchases waiting at the front of the park to be picked up? (They do still do this, right?)

When I was there earlier this month, they told me it was open "until the last guest leaves the park"

I stayed at MK until the very end of MNSSHP and had no problem picking up my package after that. However, I did barely make the cutoff to USE the service as that is set to be a certain amount of time BEFORE the park closes and on MNSSHP nights they use the park closing time, not the party closing time. Hope that makes sense.

Happy shopping!

Thank you! That does make sense. In that, I understand. Wish that wasn't the case, though. So, pretty much any shopping during the party, you'll have to carry your packages. I needed to know that, we are doing MVMCP as well.

You can have your packages shipped to your resort for pick up the next day.

I'm sure she knows that , if you're leaving the next day, that's the rub. OR if you want something in those bags, for that evening or next day, you'll want the bags too. I only ship back to my resort when it's something I KNOW I won't be able to live w/o looking at for 24 hours. Which for me, isn't much. I LOVE shopping and WDW stuff. I also like to save myself the trip to the resort shop and/or hassle of waiting for someone at the resort to get the bag. More than a few times I've had them be disgruntled about having to go get it. Go figure.
