When MK closes at 10PM, what is the latest...

[jeanico2000]

When the MK is scheduled to close at 10PM, what is the latest I can get in line for a popular ride like 7DMT? Do they limit the line after a certain time to make sure everyone is out of the park within a reasonable time frame?
Thank you for sharing your past experiences with me! we are heading to WDW next weekend!

In most cases, 9:59-ish.
(Although I think I'd arrive closer to 9:50-55, myself.)

There are times (for certain attractions) that they will cut off the entry to the queue earlier in the last hour,
due to unusually high demand.

On my recent trip MK was closing at 1:30am, we joined the line for 7DMT at about 1:20ish, but they were still letting people in behind us until 1:30.

Personally I think this is a great strategy. It means you aren't spending valuable park time in a long queue

We "closed MK down" last night. We had FP for Wishes (BEST use of a FP we thought, sitting in the grass was so special) and slowly sauntered to fantasy land. We rode Winnie, Peter pan, Small World and ran hand in hand to Haunted Mansion where we had the best interactions with CMs. Could not believe how much fun they we having! We then ran to Jungle Cruise and had a private ride with 2 Skippers we left the dock at 10:02 (was mentioned that we were late setting sail) When we got back to the dock it was almost 10:30 .... think we got lost .... and the 2nd parade was almost done. We thought it was they best night out of the last 10 days. So my guess would be pretty darn close to the actual posted time.

What time would you get in line for an 11PM closing night for A&E?
