What time does EPCOT kick people out?

Epcot's shops officially close at nine. But park clear, when the last guest has left the park, it's usually around 11pm. I worked a couple of night shifts and had to wait till park clear before I could finish my job (drive around WSC :lol: ). After the fireworks are over, don't rush out of the park.

Regardless of the time the parks close, you will not be asked to leave any attraction as long as you are already in line. For example, if the park closes at 10pm, you will not be turned away from any queue as long as you are in line by 9:59pm.

They don't ever kick you out. We've gotten some great pictures later at night by waiting around, but we've never stayed to be the last people in the park. The CM's do start to cattle people through the park at the end of this night, getting everyone up to the front.
