Hi, I have a quick question for those who have been during this time before.
I have gone over the veterans week, meaning the entire week proceeding veterans day including the actual day itself and it was fairly crowded but we always left before the weekend.
I have always tried to plan my trips to NEVER include weekends as I know they are the worst.
Well we had a trip planned for the week prior but my daughter is starting high school in the honors program and we were informed by her teachers that it was NOT a good idea for her to miss a whole week of school. SOOO we were trying to find a 3 day weekend to go down and decided to go that weekend.
Now I KNOW it is going to be packed but what I was wondering is how bad will it be. Will it be unbearable or just as packed as most weekends?
We are going no matter what and are prepared for packed but I just wanted a heads up on whether we are going to be wishing we had stayed home.
Our theory is we will get up at the crack of dawn and try to get there the minute the park opens both days and get as much done as possible and then save the stuff that isn't quite as popular for the afternoons. We also figure we just plain won't get to do as much as a slower time but we know that going into it. We have no intentions of seeing any parades or fireworks or fantasmic as we have seen all of these many times over so I figured those would be good times to do rides.
Any suggestions, comments or hints? Are we crazy? LOL
OH and since the hours aren't posted is it safe to assume it will be open till midnight on Fri and Sat and possibly late on Sunday?
We are driving down on Friday and hope to be at the park by the afternoon and if it is open late then we might actually get close to 8 hours.
Thanks in advance!!
