Rides do not shut down at closing, the ability to join the line shuts down at closing. The ride continues until the last person in line gets off. On the party nights it appears regular guests are allowed to get into line right before close at 5:59pm. Would be interesting if one is in line and attempts to do the Disney approved accommodation of return to queue if they need to use the bathroom after 5:59pm while in line. You saying in that case they can’t use the bathroom while using that accommodation nor could they re-enter the line?Agree 100% with you here.
This is why I would disagree with the poster about not waiting in line for a ride at 5:59 pm but instead plan to use the restroom instead. As regular guests we know rides shut down at closing but restrooms and certain shops stay open usually for another hour.
Disney does not seem to communicate that on party nights that this does not apply in advance for one to attempt to plan to use the restroom before trying to get in line with 1 minute until close as it is not an issue the majority of the time.
But yes whatever is being said in this thread about bathrooms is not clearly (or at all) said by Disney to guests not attending the party
