After a long night of partying hard, the last thing you want to do is wake up early, especially when you are on spring break. But if you're a college student then you're used to getting by on very little shut-eye, and should make the best out of your party week by opting not to hit the snooze button.
However, waking up hungover is easier said than done.
Hakuna matata (it means no worries). Guests at one Florida Panhandle hotel don't have to worry about missing the party because they receive daily Disney wake-up calls to start their day off with a smile.
The Holiday Inn Resort in Panama City Beach Fla., wakes its hungover spring breakers by blasting the "Circle of Life" from The Lion King.
The song goes on full blast each morning at 11 a.m., a tradition the hotel has been following every March since 2002.

"It was a song that worked real well as a wake-up call because of the loud beat in it and it also works real well because of the message of the song," the hotel marketing director Philip Corvin says. "It fits with the kids and the mood and what they're going through right now."
Think that hearing Disney songs in the late morning would only make your head hurt worse? Spring breakers staying at the hotel disagree. Every morning, they come out of their rooms for a sing-along.
Vacationers even call the hotel in advance when booking a place to stay to make sure that the tradition will continue each year.
"Every morning when we wake up we look forward to it," guest Jessica Young says.
And how could you not? It's only too tempting to pick up a Simba doll from the airport to hold out over the balcony as you belt your heart out to probably one of the first Disney movies you remember as a child.
When in Florida, right? Watch the guests at the Holiday Inn Resort belt out the "Circle of Life" below.
