Does Disney close after the fireworks?

You will definitely have time to stay in the park after the fireworks show. In fact, as long as you are in line for an attraction before 10:00 pm, you will be allowed to wait in that line until you are able to enjoy the attraction. Please check the Hours and Events Calendar as your holiday nears.
