If the MK closes at 9, are fireworks generally at 9 as well? Going in Nov and trying to gauge if I should move a 7pm ADR. Park hours are posted but I don’t see fireworks and parade times yet. Thanks!
 
I think FEA generally starts at 9pm. That might change with the Christmas parties though. Check to see if your ADR date is a Christmas party date and then look online to see what time Christmas party fireworks are.
 
Thanks! I was looking in the app and couldn’t find the fireworks times but I found them online. Looks like HEA is at 9 and park closing is also at 9.

Just FYI (and you may already know this), but I’d expect those closing times to be updated about a month out. While relying on history as a guide for the future is flawed, last year MK had all 10pm and 11pm closings on all non-party/event nights in November.

The fireworks time won’t change, but park closing will likely get extended.
 
Park closing is the time that no more guests may get in line to go on a ride. Those already in line will be accommodated.

(For general guest park closing followed by a party, as of the general closing time you need a wristband or other ID to get in line.)

Fireworks scheduled immediately after closing are for all guests in the park unless otherwise advertised like for a party.

If you are in a restaurant at closing then you are not expected to hustle out although in some cases you will be escorted to the park exit when you are done.

Where is your ADR? Sometimes you will still have to wait to be seated. You also will want time to find a spot to enjoy the fireworks and HEA. You will find people already at their spots at an hour early. So if scheduled for 9, they will be there at 8.
 
My ADR is at CRT at 7. I was hoping to move it a bit earlier but I think they now have a “premier” event in the castle for earlier in the evening and you can’t use the dining plan for it. Right now MK is open until 9 with evening EMH from 9-11. We’re staying onsite so planning to stay in the park for EMH.
I’m not sure that we will stake out a viewing spot much earlier than the start of the show. Does anyone know where the exit of the restaurant is located in relation to the viewing of the projections? Also any chance to just watch from inside CRT if the ADR runs late? Hoping it doesn’t but I’m starting to lose hope that I’ll be able to modify to an earlier time slot.
