Table Service Dining in Park after Park Closing

[gogo]

I am in the process of planning an evening at Hollywood Studios on 8/30/17. The park hours indicate park closes as 9:00 p.m. However, there is dining available at 9:20 for Sci-Fi and Mama Melrose at 8:50 p.m. Is this typical to have restaurants taking reservations after the park actually closes? Could park closing times change? Would I have difficulty getting bus back to resort so late after park closing. Travelling solo so I don't like possibly standing around in an empty bus stop waiting. Thanks for any info.

At DHS, yes.

Could park closing times change?

Probably not. Trends suggest not, right now. These times are set so people can dine AFTER Fantasmic/SWAGS.

Would I have difficulty getting bus back to resort so late after park closing.

Nope. Buses will be running until everyone is gone.

Thanks auroraborealis for your response. I've been wanting to try Mama Melrose for a while now and they since they have a late adr, I'll probably book it.

LOVE those late dinners and walking out in an empty park!

It is really peaceful. The CMs will make sure you get a bus.
