Planning advice for week after New Years

[bramble4]

Hello all! Traveling the week after New Years (starting Jan. 2nd) for the first time. Trying to book meals and figure out what parks to plan on each day, but having some trouble. Between the holidays and the marathon, I'm not sure what parks would be ideal for each day. For instance, would the half marathon in Epcot on Saturday make crowds bad, or will everyone be out of the park by the time we'd be getting there? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

The marathon (and half) has very little impact on park crowds. There will be some road delays Saturday morning around and between MK and Epcot, and throughout the world Sunday morning through maybe 2:00.

IMHO late holiday crowds will be a bigger problem. It seems lots of school districts scheduled their breaks to run through 1/9 this year because of how Christmas and New Years fall.

DH and I teach, and I jumped on a trip when I saw our calendar. At first crowd calendars projected low attendance after the 2nd, but now it's looking like we'll have lots of company.
