Attractions Magazine said the fireworks show was a test for the Halloween Not-So-Spooky Spectacular show, which starts Aug. 16.

A woman who lives near Disney, however, said she thought someone was breaking into her home.

Why are the Disney fireworks going off at 6AM?! I thought someone was trying to break into my apartment.

Another nearby resident joked that instead of a rooster waking him up, the fireworks did the job instead.

Instead of a rooster crowing in the AM, we get fireworks testing 😂🤷‍♂️
