Originally Posted By SuperDry I'll tell you one thing that I appreciated last month when I visited HKDL: they had a table service restaurant on Main Street that seated until 30 minutes after park closing.

I'm not sure if this is unique to HKDL, but it's the only time I've noticed such a thing.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I remember a few years ago (I think around 2000) my family ate at Alfredo's in Italy after Illuminations. I'm not sure how we got the reservation that late (it was over Thanksgiving, so they might have had extended hours for the big crowds), but as we were leaving the park was absoultely deserted. We had to wait near the African Outpost as they raised the bridge to get the globe barge back to the marina for the night, which was something few guests will ever see. I think there were a couple more families there too, but we were pretty much the only people in the park. It was a very neat experience, to say the least.

It seems that all too often, the place I want to go during the last hour or two of the day is already closed. I'm sure they have the historical data to support closing food outlets early, but it sometimes surprises me that I have a hard time spending money for expensive in-park food because most places are closed.
Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 Most EPCOT locations will seat you until about 8:45 or 8:50 ... on EMH nights a few will go as late as 10 or 10:15 (but park is open until midnight). But you can forget about a walkup during regular hours (might be different if you show up at Japan at 9:40 on an EMH when park 'closed' at 9). But NO EPCOT location will seat you after closing unless you had a ressie and they were running way behind. None. I know I have closed down a few places at EPCOT. I also have been rushed out of a few places (Morocco and Canada come to mind) on non-EMH nights when I have had an 8:30 or 8:40 reservation. No, I don't want to see the dessert menu when you are taking away my salad plates. Oops ... rant off.

Originally Posted By SuperDry <<< No, I don't want to see the dessert menu when you are taking away my salad plates. >>> At the place I'm referring to in HKDL, they handled this very professionally. The park closed at 8, so fireworks were done by 8:15. They seated us then, explained that "last order" was 8:30 and they wanted everyone to leave by 9, exactly one hour after park close and when everything else on Main Street would close. It was perfect for us, as we ordered the prix fixe menu which included soup/salad, entree, and dessert, so they could bring everything at the proper pace. Also, although table service, it was still theme park food and could be eaten in that amount of time - the places at Epcot are different in that regard in that the sit-down restaurants in World Showcase are closer to regular restaurants in the real world than theme park restaurants, so you probably want to take a bit longer for your meal.
Originally Posted By Malin I know exactly the place SuperDry is talking about. The venue is the Corner Café on Main Street. There are three menu's to choose from, Chinese, Western/Italian and Japanese. You pick the menu you want and can choose starter/main course/desert or starter and main or main and desert. Meal plan prices are all set and the venue has a conservatory style mood and setting. Certainly a good place to eat if your in the company of people who may not share your interest in food.

It definitely looked good and the prices were reasonable too.
