Bing,
It kinda stinks being an early riser sometimes. I awoke at 5:30 at HRH twice during the Kong farewell week-end. There is a Starbucks just inside Sunset Grill now, they open at 6:30.
I'd grab the newspaper & coffee and head for the pool jacuzzi, probably around 7 - 7:15. Couple staff members will be around, just chat 'em up and they don't seem to mind. They do seem to adhere to the 8am pool rule tho.
The towel issue tent usually leaves a few on the counter too. Almost as if they expect some early folks.
Oh, the Starbucks has some fruit & pastries too.
Enjoy!
Jim
