HS Closing at 8pm but Fantasmic Scheduled for 8:30

Hey Folks - we are going in early December and are trying to understand the period between park close at 8pm and Fantasmic start at 8:30. We have checked a number of times and these times are correct. I would have thought that the park would still be open during Fantasmic. Can anyone help explain this?

It's typical DHS scheduling. The ride lines close at 8:00 and a shop may remain open.

It helps to distribute the guests who exit the park: those at 8:00 followed by Fantasmic guests at 9:00.

Just that they have been doing it that way all summer. HS has been closing at 10pm and then have been running 10:30 F! So I assume you need to be checked in around 10 but that's just how its been.

Fantasmic is in the arena and the rest of the park closes before the show. It's typical of how it works there.
