Kiss Goodnight

Usually around 30 minutes after close. But ask a cast member to be sure.

If I recall correctly it was about 45 minutes, and then again at an hour and fifteen minutes, and two hours. Yes, people are still in the parks...

The begin closing off access to various areas of the park so that you can't wander back into the back - thus funneling folks closer and closer to the exits.

Correct. Security never "officially" "kicks anyone out of the park" after the "official" closing time.

Stick around EPCOT's World Showcase Lagoon one night after Illuminations to see what happens...

Burn off goes BOOM...

TWO HOURS after closing!? WOW
Buses run up to an hour after closing? Or do they keep going? We have never stuck around to find out. We went to a park once 30 mins before close. Felt kinda ridiculous but we really wanted to pick something up for a snack and it was our last night!

Buses continue to run until the park is totally clear of all guests. If you are one of the last ones out of the park, you might find there is only one bus waiting that will service any/all of the resorts of passengers on board rather than buses for each specific resort.

I tried to be last guest out of Magic Kingdom one night after midnight closing- finally gave up at 1:45 (there were still a few people in stores on Main St). When I got to bus area- they asked me where I was going and a bus pulled up about three minutes later to take just me to Coronado Springs.
I will look forward to trying to hang out and see burn off at Epcot this December!

what is burn off?

After Illuminations, all the left over gas on the barge that was not used during the spectacle is burnt off in one big blast. This clears the barge to be safely moved back to the prep area to be made ready for the next evening show.

....And it's pretty impressive to see

Forgive my ignorance, but I thought the fireworks at night's end was "Kiss Goodnight."

If that's not it, what is please?

The fireworks at Magic Kingdom is called "Wishes", usually shown before the park closes.

The "Kiss Goodnight" is a short light show at/on the Castle, and a brief "Thanks for coming, to all of our guests, etc." announcement at the *very end* of the night at park closing and shortly afterward.
