I am a night owl! I am not about getting up at 6am and rushing to the parks for rope drop (just not my style) so I totally love taking advantage of those late hours! I love staying until close and then slowly wondering out of the park. So i can totally understand where the OP is coming from. When something used to be there and it's taken away yet it costs more it makes sense to be upset about it.
The MK isn't surrounded by residential areas. DLR is.
It's not a take-away -- it's a non-addition. /sarc

How does this help the postulation the park should close earlier?
Dlr's location suggests more part time visitors rather than dedicated tourists. Tourists on vacation don't worry about work or commitments the next day... tourists look to get the most of their time on vacation
It's not about what the guests want. It's about what Disney can do to follow local ordinances and remain a good neighbor.

Again... how does any of that support the idea Wdw shouldn't be comparable hours to dlr?
Both these points brought up support the idea that wdw should have longer hours... yet it doesn't. Hence why dlr was mentioned when the defenders tried to justify the shorter hours at mk
It's not complicated. Disney has more limitations on what they CAN do in Anaheim than they do in the middle of a swamp.

I think they're saying that Disneyland has longer hours than WDW right now, even with the greater amount of limitations in Anaheim. If Disneyland can do longer hours right now, then there is no reason WDW shouldn't also be doing longer hours.

This bothered me the most. For the amount of money being charged to enter that park, a 10pm SUMMER closing time is outrageous.
Don't increase park prices AND reduce park hours; that's just slimy.
Pandora till 1AM is an outright joke.
I saw FOP up to 180 minutes @ 11pm!
Funneling everyone into a single land isn't really a good idea...at least keep the entire park open.
EDIT: a single land with only two rides!

Actually, as you can see there are a number of apartments and townhouses "backstage"...

Just imagine how many fewer CMs it takes to run one land in Pandora than it does to keep most of the MK open.......

I don't usually go to Disney in the Summer, do they typically or will they change the hours at this point for the rest of the Summer?

Right, but I don't understand the logic behind it.
There are only two rides in the entire land, both of which had enormous wait times.
It only took 10-15 minutes to walk around and observe the entire land.
IIRC, there weren't very many places to eat/drink/shop (I had to wait in a 10 minute line for beer).
A CM told me buses were running until 3AM because the FOP queue was enormous.
"surrounded" as in encircled. Like in "Come on out, Bugsy, with your hands up; we've got you surrounded."
