Marathon crowds?

[Colleen27]

How much effect does the marathon have on crowd levels in January? I really want CSR if we push our trip back, but can't get it for our original dates. If I change the dates to checking in on Sunday of the marathon weekend, I can get what I want, but I'm wondering if I should expect the parks to be very busy those first couple days because of the marathon crowds?

Hi,

The parks will not be crowded marathon weekend, but the resorts will be full or close to full. And expect traffic delays (both cars and WDW buses) on the two race mornings.
