How late can you be in Disneyland?

I am a night owl, and I am very happy to share, Hilde, that Disneyland Park is regularly open until Midnight. Even better, Midnight is the time that the attraction queues close for the night. Most stores and some dining locations on Main Street U.S.A. (near the entrance of the park) close their doors at 12:30 AM.

That means if you get on line for Test Track at 8:59 p.m., you may walk off it at 9:30 or later, meaning you'll walk through the Park after it closes.
