Hi all,
Found a great deal using hotel points, and I very excitedly booked a trip for Jan 4-8 yesterday and soon after clicking, ‘Book Now’, I realized it’s marathon weekend! We plan on renting a car and we always rope drop. Typically, we do a morning in the parks, take a break in the afternoon, and then head back to the parks in late afternoon.
I’m reading that road closures getting to the parks in the morning could be a real headache if we rope drop. For all you experts – is it doable (and still enjoyable!) to stay offsite, drive, and rope drop during marathon weekend or should we see about rescheduling?? We scheduled Jan 4-8 and would probably be in the parks on Jan 5,6,7. I could see about rescheduling to Jan 2-4 if it would be a better experience. (I should note – although we haven’t used it before, we’re also planning to purchase Genie+ if that makes rope dropping less necessary)
Really appreciate your advice!
