Via Napoli at 9:40, but Epcot closes at 9?

[pbb&j]

I just made a reservation at Via Napoli for 9:40 on Tuesday April 4, but I looked and the park closes at 9 that night, and has early EMH that morning, and the late EMH are on Thursday that week, which is opposite of the typical EMH schedule I think.

There are a number of restaurants with reservations available at Epcot after 9 that night. I'm not sure if this is something they just changed, or what might be going on. Any thoughts on what might happen? I'm guessing that the dining times are mixed up, or the EMH schedule is wrong, but it's less than 2 weeks out so I'm surprised that it isn't fixed. I would love it if April 4 is actually late EMH!

Epcot doesn't actually take reservations that late after the park closes, do they?

Dining times and EMH aren't messed up. It means they're either extending close to 10, or they're allowing dining seating to occur AFTER Illuminations. Both happen.

Be in the park before 9.

Good to know, thanks!

And enjoy the walk around the EMPTY World Showcase after!! DD and I did an 8:40 ADR at VN a few months ago and what a pleasure it was walking out of the park (even snapped some photos)...although a storm was brewing and we actually just made it back to our FW cabin before the skies opened up.

What a great idea. Are the bus lines non-existent? Walking out without the huge crowd sounds divine.

the bus lines were non existent.. we have done similar, late ADR, left Teppan Edo think it was and found EPCOT virtually empty.. it was pretty awesome. Couple others like us strolling around, few CMs doing the same. Nice easy stroll through an empty EPCOT.

Same here...the walk around an empty Epcot is amazing and a real rare treat. Great photo ops. Enjoy!

I think a quiet World Showcase might be one of the things I'm most looking forward to now! Our kids are older teens, so they are always looking for something to eat later at night.

Thanks for the feedback!
