Thinking about hopping over to Epcot on a MNSSHP party night this September. It would be a Tuesday. Would plan to be there around 6pm and FP a couple rides. Then we would hit up a few countries and F&W booths.

My question is: what is there to do after illuminations? Will the countries ‘close’ and does everyone head to FW? Will the lines be too long expect to do much?
Anyone with experience please chime in!
 
The Countries remain open.

We love touring World Showcase during PM EMH.

The F&W booths closed at 9pm during EMH the first week of Sept 2017.

I think all Festival kiosks close down during Illuminations. When lights come up after the show, they are all closed.

The atmosphere in the World Showcase is so nice during PM EMH. I like to grab a Grand Marnier and just chill somewhere with a nice view. :) There are plenty of beautiful things to see in Epcot.
 
I have done eve emh twice at Epcot and it just isn't my favorite. Mostly I just like strolling through the WS. I sort of think it is because it is such a looooong walk between rides in FW and by that time of night I am pretty tired. Maybe more food places are open than I remember but I always thought there wasn't much to choose from. I love eve emh at MK and 4 years ago we had a blast at HS eve emh but that is no more.
 
After Illuminations is when I like to do my shopping at Mouse Gear!

Absolutely agree! I love strolling through WS when it's empty! DH & I were just a bit sad we couldn't hit up some favorite booths again. It never crossed my mind they wouldn't be open.

Yes, but do it right after because last trip we tried to get into Mouse Gear right after 10pm and they were closed! I had asked earlier and was told they were "open during eve emh". Well I interpreted that to mean open till 11pm but it was only open (that night anyway) till 10pm. It was our last night and a CM was near the door when we tried to get in, she opened the door to explain then said if we came in and shopped very quickly it would be ok. Other shoppers were in the store checking out, it was so nice of her since my kids wanted an item that we had not seen anywhere else. But lesson learned for us.

The times shown on the list are the current times and are subject to change due to park buyouts or special events. The normal closing time for Mouse Gear on non EMH nights is 10pm and until at least the end of July, the closing time shown internally is 11pm on EMH nights.

That's good, perhaps things have changed since my last trip there. Was just sharing our unexpected experience.
