Sounds like a WONDERFUL way to kick off your trip!
Originally I was going to start mine by driving down early in the morning on Sunday, 9/21, getting checked-in at the resort in the afternoon, and being at MK for
MNSSHP by 4pm.
I have a 5-hour drive though, so rather than getting up and driving so early, within the last week I decided to drive down the day before. I booked a cheap but perfectly decent place a mile off property just for Saturday night. Meaning technically, my trip will now commence on the 9/20, instead of the 9/21!
And instead of being all tired from driving all day on Sunday, I can sleep in that morning, maybe even request late check-out, meander over to Pop Century, get checked in there, and then hit MNSSHP feeling better rested and ready to close the place down! I'm SO looking to starting my trip this way!!!
