Marathon vs MLK Weekend??

[88golf88]

Which weekend is crazier in the parks, Marathon weekend or MLK weekend? We typically go in June or October with the kids but are taking them in January next year and trying to decide which weekend will be "less crazy". Thanks

More guests during MLK weekend.

We were there for both this year. We definitely saw an uptick in crowds the closer it got to MLK weekend.
The only issue we had with the marathon was getting into MK (before the new park opening) for a PPO BOG. The runners were still running down Main St. when we entered and the CM's delayed us for 10-15 minutes or so. We were at the Poly so I do not know how bad traffic was but that would only be in the early morning during the races. Have fun!

Crowds MUCH worse over MLK.
