Epcot Illuminations - confused by timings!

[dbrook]

We are over with relatives who want to know what time the evening illumination display is at. I am confused as I went on the website to find out on the calendar and it says the illuminations are at 9.00 and the park closes at 9.00 pm. Am I being thick here as the display must last at least 10/15 mins?

Thanks!

I think the park closing time is for the attractions Diane. The World Showcase itself stays open long after the fireworks have finished, however I don't think any of the attractions in any of the pavillions are open. It makes a nice walk though, especially if you want to let the park clear a bit and avoid the rush on the way out.

THanks Steve, that makes sense :)
