Or be able to check the phone or computer -- that would work. I know one of the issues is that the weather technically doesn't load till you travel to that world, but it's still annoying especially since you have to stay to the end to prevent festival creep (multiple festivals spawning into each other). It's not so bad for the ones in the Spice District or Arts Quarter because there are a lot more things to do -- I can spend the day in my bowling alley/lounge Old Salt House in the Spice District or paint at the Arts Center.
