Quick question hope someone can help.

I was wondering after illuminations if my wife and I were to head over to the boardwalk area - Beach's and Cream, etc... Would we be able to get back through Epcot through the international gateway after park close to catch the Monorail back to Bay lake Tower? Or would we be able to take a bus from the boardwalk area to BLT or the TCC?

Thanks...

No, you will not be allowed back in to the park once it closes. You will have a few options if you decide you want to go to the Boardwalk...

1. If the MK is still open you can take the bus there and then head back to the resort. If not, then just ignore this option.

2. If the studios are still open for Extra Magic Hours you can boat or walk over there and then take the bus back to the Contemporary. Again, if the park isn't open ignore this option.

3. Bus to DTD and then bus back to Contemporary.

4. Cab

What Evan said.....:D

Having done something similar to this several times I have found that the cab is typically the best option as it put you back at your resort inside of 20 minutes. The bus to DTD then back again can take forever and a day.

Thanks for the help.

Anyone know how late the Downtown Disney buses run? I know they used to run late but with pleasure island clubs closed I wonder if it has changed?

I believe they run until 2am from the Pleasure Island stop. After 12am they stop service from the Marketplace and you will have to go there to connect.
