Le Cellier @7:30PM, Epcot closing @8PM?

[BlovesC]

I somehow only just noticed that our Le Cellier reservation for 7:30PM during our upcoming stay falls on a day in which Epcot WS closes at 8PM, *but* it is also an Epcot evening-EMH night.

TS places like Le Cellier close down at regular hours and do not extend service for EMH, right? So our reservation is going to be while they're getting ready to clean up and close the kitchen?

We haven't eaten at LC yet, but definitely not sure if I want to give it a try so close to closing. Has anyone experienced this? Am I wrong about the EMH closing?

I just had this happen during my September trip except my res was for I think 8?? Anyway, when we got out, the park had long been closed but we were able to get out without an issue. It takes several hours for everyone to get out of the park so you will get out when your meal is done without an issue

Thanks for the info! I certainly don't mind the park being empty when we leave dinner, I just had horrible visions of us trying to eat while the waitstaff stands watching us, tapping their feet, while others start putting the chairs on top of the tables and vacuuming.

We've had one of those late seatings at Le Cellier before. I don't think it was as late as yours, but I remember our service still being great. We got out just as Illuminations got over and the park started emptying. Of course that's not ideal, but I don't remember anybody staring at us, and there were still plenty of people in the restaurant when we left. I don't think you'll have a problem.
