The Sun still only illuminates part of the disk at a time. It doesn’t go below the disk at night, it’s still above the disk just too far away to see, so you get different times of day in different parts of the world.
Yes, this just raises more questions. Yes they have answers for them. None of them are good and very few of them are even internally consistent, let alone hold up to any scrutiny.
I used to work with one. The notion is that the sun travels in essentially a circle above the earth-disk and is also much smaller and much closer than you’ve been led to believe. They believe that the world actually is exactly as it looks in an azimuthal equidistant projection centered on the North Pole, and that it being what the world really looks like is why that’s the map on the UN logo. Antarctica is essentially the rim of the world and what keeps the ocean from pouring over the edge of the disk, like the rim of a giant bowl.
You dig deep enough and you learn that they also don’t believe in gravity (because if gravity was real then it would tend to pull people nearer the edge of the disk at a deeper slant relative to the surface). It’s just that the Earth-disk is accelerating upwards through the void at 9.8 m/s^2.
When I previously wrote that if you get deep enough into it they don’t believe in gravity, I meant that. No gravity, what you and I call gravity is a consequence of everything accelerating upwards at 9.8 m/s^2 causing a downward force exerted on everything. The sun and moon are also accelerating at the same speed (the entire firmament and its contents are). I have no idea about the other planets, but it’s probably something equally dumb.
Wait what? How does that work then? Now I need to look what kind of brain twisting logic they employ to combine a flat earth with time zones.

Thanks for trying to explain it to me. But as you said, that whole thing just raises more questions.
Light speed seems to be rather slow for them, similar to their brains.

The earth accelerating upwards wouldn’t negate the effects of gravity though. So they actually don’t believe in the concept of gravity at all?
So what keeps the sun and moon and all the planets from crashing into the Earth then?
