No its always been fairly early. I'm also quite local to it and the only times its been a little bit later are probably during Halloween Spectaculars and Fireworks parties, which even then don't end much past 7pm.
I had this conversation with OH in Disneyland, a lot of it is to do with a local couple near to the Towers who complain about noise levels etc constantly:

We were saying if the locals here embraced the park like they do in California it would be fabulous, after all Towers is bringing business into the area. Disneyland sets off fireworks at 9.30pm every night and nobody complains about it. The park itself doesn't close until midnight and the last transport bus out of there leaves at 1.20am.0
