Parks after closing-how late have you stayed?

[liznboys]

What's the latest you've stayed in a park after it's closed? How long will they let you stay before they REALLY ask you to leave (not just urge you to...)? I've never stayed very long at all, maybe 30 mintues past closing. I'm sure there are people who try to be the "last one" in the park...which would be fun.

We were in Epcot almost and hour after closing and there were still plenty of people behind us.

1 1/2 hrs. We had our own car that day, so transportation wasn't an issue. We just sat around, ate some ice cream, shopped around, got more Mickey rice krispies treats (DH is hooked on these), then slowly got out.

an hour. It's not that hard to take your time and let the crowds go out ahead of you.

I remember one time where we had a PS at San Angel Inn in Epcot around closing time and by the time we got out of the restaurant it was around 10:15. It was during the slow season and we were not the last couple in the restaurant, but one of the last few.

On our walk towards the front we only saw a couple of people. It was very nice, like we had the whole park to ourself. We passed a cleaner near the entrance to World Showcase but did not see anyone else unitil we were between the Innoventions buildings.

It can also depend on if your in a ride line. If you get to Space Mountain ten minutes before close and the line is 45 minutes you still get to ride.

Most we usually ever saty after though it 30-60 minutes to shop and maybe grab a snack on the way out of the park

Liz, I just have this idea that I would like you! I can tell you think like me.

I stayed a surprisingly long time at the MK after closing. (at least an hour) Practlically everyone had gone and they were cleaning, but nobody told me to go. It was the night I'd gone in alone to try to see the "Kiss Goodnight" . Well, I saw more than one kiss goodnight. It was really fun for me, but my husband and daughter were a little at a loss about why I wanted to!

I think I was last in 2001 at MGM. I had a late Dinner at Mama Melrose's and by the time I left the Resteraunt, the area was Dark, and I was a little to say the least. MK I have stayed 45 min past closing, and had to wait LONGER for a bus.

Someday when my boys are old enough, we'll try to stay as late as we can in a park, probably MK...see how long it takes for them to boot us outta there. lol
