Would anyone be able to speculate on the 2023 dates for Marathon Weekend?

Is it super crowded being so close to New Year's?

I'm going to say yes. 2018 was the most crowded that I have ever seen Marathon Weekend (it was the Polar Vortex and I distinctly remember being bundled in a winter coat and wading through an unbelievable amount of people in AK. Marathon Weekend was January 4-7 that year.
And I just remembered I'm planning to do Dopey in 2023, so I'd have to deal with all those crowds instead of staying longer the week after. Ugh!

Yep. I remember that 2018 weekend as well. It was sooooo crowded during the early part of the week we were there for the race. It was just starting to slow down some when we left. I know 2022 will be bad also.
If we do the 1/2 during Marathon weekend, we would arrive Friday and leave the following Wednesday. Would Princess weekend be less crowded?
Thank you! It looks like it's falling pretty close for the next few years.I've never done the princess weekend, so I can't be sure, but I suspect it would be slightly better. Typically marathon weekend isn't too bad other than when it falls so closely after the holidays.
Has anyone seen when registration might open for 2023?
