Riding TT at park closing, exiting through Mexico side of WS?

[JJ2017]

If we ride TT close to 9 (park closes at 9), can we walk through WS towards the Int'l Gateway starting at Mexico to exit? Does anything stay open in WS after 9?

You can walk through, but things will be closing down during Illuminations, or shortly thereafter. That's what we found out when we stayed at Beach Club, anyways.

Depending on what time you get onto TT, Illuminations may still be going on when you get off. You can definitely still walk through WS to the back entrance, but nothing will be open once Illuminations begins.

Yes, you can walk through to the IG. Do note that you will be walking against the exiting traffic, so it may be difficult. You might want to wait for it to thin a bit if it is still crowded after you exit Test Track. Nothing in WS will be open, but Mouse Gear will be if you want to wait it out a little and shop.
