This is BS. I go on vacation to, you know, RELAX. When is Disney going to start staying open LATER for those of us not of the “wrong coast” persuasion? To be up that early would mean the equivalent of me getting my family up at 3:30 (6:30 for those of you who are morning people on the east coast) to fight for bathroom space, get changed, get breakfast, and get on the bus/ monorail just to be there for 9 AM (6 AM for those of us from the west coast). No way I’m doing that. Thanks, I’ll wait until they start staying open at hours like prepandemic.
