Yeah, DL Con is not a time for touring. Look at DLC4:
We were a bus ride away from New York City, one of the biggest tourist spots in the world...and no one went, at least during the con. Those who went either went right before the Con, or right after. Planning things around the Con (as in, stuff to do before and after its formally over) is the best way to do the tourist thing.
That said...for DLC5, if others are doing it, I wouldn't be against hanging around in that area a little longer for touristy stuff. Naturally, I'd assume we'd be getting a hotel room and such, as not to intrude upon Gate and what not.
