my family and I have reservations for RFC in AK for 6:45pm. The park closes at 6. will we have to wait inside restaurant? Or will we be able to wonder the park? Love the Panel!!

Hi Kassie, The Rainforest Café is actually located right at the entrance to the Animal Kingdom. In fact, you can access it from either inside or outside of the park. Once they close the park at 6:00, Cast Members will be directing you towards the exit. There is a little area called the Oasis that has a few reptiles in it. That is located right near the entrance and they may allow you to take a few extra moments to gaze at those animals. However, they are pretty efficient at clearing out the park once it closes. If you check in early for your reservation, there is always the chance that you will be seated ahead of schedule. The restaurant itself is pretty cool too and you may enjoy browsing the shop while you wait for your seat. Wishing you a wonderful vacation, Kaylene
