Park Closing Times

[ErinInCT]

If the park closing time at MK says 9pm (June) and the new fireworks show is also at 9pm does that mean all the rides close at 9pm?
We plan to have one night in MK where we watch the fireworks and another night where we don't. Was hoping to do rides while everyone else is watching fireworks. Will the rides be open until the conclusion of the fireworks show?

Yes, rides close at closing.
But, park hours will change.

Rides close at park closing. Same thing at HS when park closes at 8pm but Fantasmic is at 8:30. Rides close at 8 so if you're not already at Fantasmic you'll be leaving the park

You have to be in line for the ride by closing time. The rides line closes at closing time, but anyone who is in line will get to ride. Be aware that the posted wait times are often exaggerated during the last hour or so, perhaps to dissuade people from getting in the line at the last minute, so you will likely not have to wait as long as it says. So the bottom line is that you will be able to ride the ride you are in line for when the fireworks starts, but won't be able to get in line for another one during the fireworks.

ANd also know that the park hours are likely to be extended closer to the dates you travel, perhaps as late as the same day.
