Re-book MLK week for Marathon week??? Can't decide.

[DisneyDreams15]

We are currently booked for January 10th-18th. We do 7 park days (no resort days etc), 11th-17th, so the Fri, Sat, Sun of MLK weekend is on the tail end of our park days. I am contemplating rebooking to the week prior (3rd-11th), having marathon weekend as our tail end.

I have looked at multiple crowd calendars and what I'm generally seeing is the weekdays prior to MLK weekend are slower than the weekdays prior to marathon weekend, but of course MLK weekend is busier than marathon weekend. So like level 4ish weekdays and 5ish weekend for first week, but mostly level 2-3 weekdays and a level 7 weekend for the second week ending in MLK. MLK weekend we would only be going to the most recommend parks although we generally do that anyway. I have some ok ADRs for my current week but struggling to find openings for what I want the week prior so that is a factor too. What would you do???? I have been agonizing over this, I'm terrible with decisions. I'm scared I'd be trading one weekend of busyness for all around average crowds instead of slower weekdays and also likely missing out on the ADRs.

Unfortunately these two weeks are the only options with hubby's school schedule or we'd go later in the month. We went the last week of January 2015 and would love to do that again.

Side question- if I booked a reservation with what I assume was a PIN code (they said I had a "unique offer code" in the account when I booked over the phone), does anyone know if that can be applied to a new reservation if I re-book or has it been "used?"

Well, since you are within the 180 days, you can try to book ADRs for the other week and see what you can get as you can always cancel them later. If you can't get what you want, then you may have you answer.

Thanks! I've tried to get ADRs for marathon week in case I rebook (just wanting 'Ohana dinner on the 3rd when we would come in and BOG lunch) but my main issue is the BOG lunch, even mid week there is nothing available and we are just a party of 5. And I'll take anything before 12:30. The 'Ohana I got isn't a preferred time at all but not terrible.
