What is going on the weekend of 1/15?

I was looking at Mousesavers to check on codes for the weekend of 1/16, 1/16 and Mary says codes are non-existent for that weekend. Does anyone know what is going on that weekend?

It's Martin Luther King Weekend.

I just got off the phone with cro and the CM said something about a marathon??

No the marathon is sooner - Jan 9.

1/15 is MLK weekend (the federal holiday is on Monday Jan 17.)

aec...I know, I am just telling you what CRO told me. She wouldn't even look ,she said they got some sort of a note in the morning saying there was no availablity anywhere on property

weird, huh

I believe they are taping Who Want to be a Millionaire also.

Yep, nothing like a Federal holiday and the long weekend to go with it to crowd things up a bit. Add in the WDW marathon and we've got a full house.

We get all the stock market holidays, and MLK is one of them. Availability at WDW for MLK weekend was tight even when we were reserving back in October.

We are leaving next Wednesday so it has become my new hobby to find out who all will be at WDW next week!

It is MLK weekend.

It is NOT the marathon - that's this weekend.

It is the International Home Builders Show with 110,000 attendees expected, many are staying at WDW hotels. (Show is at the Convention Center.)

It is the College Cheerleading Championships at WWoS.

It is the taping of WWTBAM.

It is the weekend of 3on3 soccer and basketball tournaments at WWoS.

There is also some sort of baseball thing at WWoS.

So, as you can see, there are PLENTY of people to suck up all of the rooms. I am sincerely hoping they don't all cram into the parks at the same time as me!

Thanks for the replies. I knew it was MLK weekend, but didn't know all those other events were going on. I knew it had to be something, with all the rooms sold out!
We'll have to wait until february then....
Thanks everyone
