Not sure if this is common but I ran into this problem at DCA last Sunday.
I had been planning to get a treat at Abominable Snowman Treats all weekend, but figured it worked best for me to head over right after the 9:00 WOC was over. I got over there by 9:35 and it was closed! Thought maybe it was my fault for not checking the hours, but the app said open until 10pm. Tried not to be too pissed and figured I had time to run over to Cozy Cone for an ice cream cone since the app was showing them open so I hustled over there by 9:45 and guess what, all the other cones were still open but the ice cream "cone" was putting down their blind and closing for the night. ***? Then I said, I'm not leaving here without an ice cream so I ran over to Clarabelle's and guess what, they were closed too!!!! In my mind, I have paid a ton of money to get a full park experience from park open until park close. The hours in the app stated very clearly that the locations were open until 10PM. So then why on earth would certain food establishments just be able to close whenever they felt like? Does Disney not think that following a large nighttime show people might want to grab a little creamy treat on their way out of the park? Make it make sense to me.
