Another bed question

I know we have talked about beds to beyond and back but I couldn't find the answer to my question. For those of you who have switched to a bed what do you do on the nights were LO doesn't want to go to bed. We are likely going to have to transition sometime in the coming weeks and there are usually several nights a week that Logan just doesn't want to go to bed. He has to get up real early so we put him to bed no later the 8 and he sometimes does not like it. I don't see him staying in bed on those nights. Do you just shut the bedroom door and hopes he eventually gets in bed and falls asleep? Telling him it's bed time does nothing. He could care less and I could talk to him until my tongue falls out. He is stubborn like his dad : )~
