So we just finalized a plan for WDW Jan 4-Jan 11. It’s been 4 years. We’ve been trying to go but for obvious reasons the past few years have fallen apart. Kids are college aged so this may be the last time we convince them all to go. It took a lot just to get this one week blocked off
Just found out it’s Marathon Weekend. Just how big a disruption is it? We plan on staying off site and having a car.
I am obviously concerned about crowd size, etc. Just as concerned with getting around by car. Our typical routine is rope drop. Leave around lunchtime. Back for late PM/evening.
Looking at the past race route maps — Thurs/Friday with the 5K/10K don’t look horrible. Or am i missing something? MK should be easily accessible Thursday. Friday maybe HS.
Is Thursday/Friday a ton easier than the weekend?
Weekend was thinking AK Sunday. Saturday who knows. Probably avoid Epcot until Monday. Maybe go to universal on Sunday race day. But man that’s a big expense.
So my biggest concern is…..just how disruptive is getting around the weekend by car? I really hate traffic . Also are crowd sizes and lines a TON more?
