Am I Mean?

[Disnerd6838]

Taking my girlfriend for 4 nights / 1 day each park. Plan is to stay at AK until 12 / 1 am (hours are extended for Pandora that night) for our AK day. Is it too mean to expect her to rope drop Epcot the following morning at 9 am?

 

[mom2rtk]

Probably. What does she say?

Sorry, only you and she can decide this one!! No one else knows her personality and what she can/will do better than you (two).
Have fun!!

I don't think so... Have you discussed the details of the trip with her? What does she think..

 

[Disneylover99]

I don't think it's mean. But she might.
If she breaks up with you at the end of the trip, you'll have the answer.

I need a solid 8 hours of sleep, or I'm a grumpy bear. It's just the way I'm wired.


Save yourself from a potential grumpy bear, ask your girlfriend what she thinks

 

[Disneylover99]

I agree with others. Ask her what she thinks.
If she says she wants to sleep in the next day, you should break up with her. You're clearly not compatible.

I don't think so...and I am NOT a morning person AT ALL. However, when we do Disney all involved know we RD early for EMH, mid day break and back later until park close, sometimes hitting 2, 3 or even 4 parks in a day...not a restful vacation, but we have a blast and get in everything we want to do! I do agree with others, though, definitely ask her. She may rather skip a headliner ride or two and sleep in. Everyone does Disney differently and the way it works for them and their travel companions. Have fun!

My wife is not a late night person at all, but she's always been able to handle staying up late at the parks...
That said, do what others have suggested and ask her. Better safe than sorry

Maybe it is just the way you worded it but the word "expect" is a bit loaded. Do you expect things from her or ask her opinion? If she doesn't want to go so early, perhaps you can go ahead and she can meet up with you later? Talk it over with her and prepare to see her perspective.

 

[Disnerd6838]

Thanks guys, she's not necessarily a morning person but it's our Disney trip and I feel like we have the rest of the year to sleep. Personally I want to get my money's worth and I'm not doing that in bed.

On a 4 day trip, we would open and close our park of the day every day. That's why we generally go for longer periods of time. The short trips are exhausting.

I cannot say about you being mean or not, but if I tried that, she would certainly show her mean streak.
Non morning people should NOT be messed with. I would rather go pull a lion's tail......

 

[Disnerd6838]

ok not what i meant lol

 

[Sugardimples]

I would tell her that I planned to make RD but that she could sleep as late as she wanted to. She could call me when she was ready to go and we would meet up then. Forget about "getting your money's worth" and instead focus on having a good time.

I know. I'm just having fun.

Seriously, this.

Uhh. No one told you that keeping time and hours at Disney, isn't the same as not at Disney?!! My husband calls it "being under the dome". All things are possible under the Disney dome! Late nights and early mornings,
Never being bitten by mosquitos, the ability to walk 12 miles a day like it's your norm etc. That being said, the deciding factor for me would be how far is your resort from AK? Because the return to the room trip, and getting settled for bed could be really short, say to AKL or much farther like the Contemporary. It's not mean, it's just wanting to get the most out of your time there. Which we all want. Amiright

Love your enthusiasm but personally enjoy WDW when I relax a little but that's just me, not getting enough sleep can slow me down and affect my whole day. Ask her what she thinks. Staying until 1 AM at Pandora which sounds awesome, also means you won't get back and in bed til much later than that. You'll get more of your money's worth when you feel better.
