Been pondering over this for a while.

Weekend away with friends. What is a reasonable time to be woken up on a Saturday/Sunday morning?

This are they doing a Reveille or just getting up?

Surely you chat about plans the next day?

We stayed with a friend over the summer and one of the things we chatted about each evening was what we were planning on doing the next day and what time this would be.
So we'd have one day we were only planning on going down to the beach after lunch and wander down about 11am. And another where we had something booked at 9:30am so were up by 8:30am.
None of us are early risers naturally, so that would effect our plans too.
We did once stay with a family whose natural rising was about 5am and would all be asleep by 9pm, so we planned things earlier, and would be up and out by 7am one some days.

I wouldn't expect them to keep off doing their normal things after 9am though, nor would I expect children to be creeping around to accommodate me in their own home.

Me and my millennial siblings mostly with small children, 8.30-9am ish, but obviously try not to wake anyone before they’re ready in general! Wait til they appear. My retired boomer parents, definitely after 10am if not more like 11am or noon. We let them lie on on holidays together and just get on with our morning outing.
