I did miss it. Thanks for posting here.

I am torn. Typically I am sleep in person but when we go with the whole family we do early entry. I am happy that they gave us something for taking it away. While I wish it was 1 LL per day rather than length of stay Im still grateful they threw us some sort of bone.
