Illuminations: How long is it?

How long is Illuminations?

And how long do you think it will take us to get back to the Carribean Beach resort after Illuminations is over?

(We are going in late Aug- early Sept)

20 minutes? maybe, probably for the length of illuminations. as far as getting back to the resort, good question. will you be on disney transportation or driving your car?

Actually the show itself is only 12 minutes. But expect a mass exodus to the buses right afterward. So if you're on the future world side of world showcase and hustle right out to the buses as soon as it's over, it might only be 20-30 minutes total back to the resort if you get on the first bus that comes right up, but if you don't get on the first bus, or you're in the back of world showcase, or you stop at the gift shop and linger, it could be an hour or longer, depending on conditions. It just depends really. Usually if you're inside a park and are trying to get back to the resort by a certain time, I would recommend allowing an hour, using the buses. Same thing from resort to meeting someone inside a park at a certain time.
