Epcot Italy Isola Evening Reception- continue after park hours?

[Ariel1986]

Hello

Has anyone had their reception here continue after park hours? So say if you hired it for 5 hours starting from 7pm or 8pm? Is this allowed?

And for anyone who has had a reception there during park hours, I have some questions:

How private did this feel? Did you feel away from park guests or did it feel like you were having a reception among vacationers?

How do you enter the park to get to your venue- did this part feel chaotic in anyway?

Finally does Disney allow just receptions- could you have a wedding elsewhere and then come to Epcot in the evening for the reception?

Thank you for any answers!

None of my wedding events were at Epcot, but I hope other people can answer those questions. As to these:

How do you enter the park to get to your venue- did this part feel chaotic in anyway?

Finally does Disney allow just receptions- could you have a wedding elsewhere and then come to Epcot in the evening for the reception?

For a reception in the Italy pavilion, they MAY allow your guests to enter at the International Gateway and walk back to the Isola with escorts. Otherwise, they will require you to rent charter buses that will bring everyone in via backstage access.

Disney does allow just receptions, but they carry the same minimum pricing as ceremony+reception packages.
