Howdy, Sarah!
Yes, you’ll still be able to catch a
Disney bus back to your resort after your dinner at
Rainforest Café, even if the park officially closes at 6.
Rainforest Café is located right at the entrance of
Disney’s Animal Kingdom, so you don’t actually have to re-enter the park to dine there. Since it sits just outside the gates, Disney transportation keeps running a little while after park closing to make sure everyone has time to finish eating, shop a bit, and make their way out comfortably.
Buses generally continue running for about an hour after park closing, and they’ll often extend that window when restaurants have later reservations. So if your dinner wraps up around 7 or even a little after, you’ll still be fine catching a bus back to your resort.
If, for any reason, it’s later than that, or buses have slowed down for the night, just check with a Cast Member at the front of the park, and they can confirm the next available bus or help you find alternate transportation. Either way, you’ll be able to enjoy your dinner without feeling rushed!
Have a roaring good time at dinner, Sarah!
Toodles,
Korliss
