Will we have enough time to get back?

[Dismomof2boys]

We have dinner reservations at Tusker House in the Animal Kingdom at 4:45pm and the park closes at 5:00pm. I understand that buses will run 60-90 minutes after park closing. We have 13 people in our party and we will take at least 60 minutes to eat (probably more). I am just a little nervous. I would feel better if I knew the buses will run closer to 90 minutes past closing than 60. I would hate to have to get a taxi for 13 people. Has anyone been at a park longer than 60 minutes past closing and the buses were still running? I just need a little assurance.

There should be buses running until Rainforest Cafe clears out for the night. I know that when we ate there last, we had an ADR just as the park was closing for the night. We left RFC about 90 mins later....there were a ton of buses waiting outside for guests at RFC.

Great. Thanks for the info. I would assume that if we are done with our meals and out by a bus stop around the 80 minute mark past closing, we should fine.

This.

When you finish eating, simply walk out to the bus stops. If you don't see a bus after about 20-30 minutes, find a CM and ask.

You will have transportation back no matter how long it is after the park closes. About an hour after the park closes they will start groupig resorts together into fewer busses. Eventually there will be 1 bus for all guests, that will stop at each resort. So just be prepared that the longer you dine, the longer the rider might be back, since it's stopping at each resort. But dno't worry, you won't be left there!

Thanks everyone. I feel much better now. It took forever to get the Tusker House for dinner for 13 people and I really didn't want to cancel. So looking forward to it.

I also agree. We were at the Poly and when we walked out the front there were no buses around, finally one pulled up. We told him we were trying to get to the Pop. He called someone, rerouted to a park and picked up guest for the Pop!

Well, actually, Alesia means that Disney won't leave you stranded at a park.
