Three-day weekend? Time to phone it in.
WALT DISNEY WORLD, FL — It’s Labor Day, which means Disney parks worldwide will be closed to give their Cast Members a long weekend off to spend with their families. And what’s good enough for the Mouse is good enough for Uncle Walt’s Insider! [Ed.: Actually, it’s much better.]
