Well, all 7 of my friends and I ended up with 2.5+ hour queue times this year. Somewhat of a minor miracle from a different perspective.

Anyway, we've decided it would be feasible for us to still go if we have at least one downtown room at which to store stuff and crash throughout the day and night.

Any kind souls who don't need their reservation for whatever reason and want to take pity on a group of nerds who get to see each other once a year - please let me know! Any downtown room is fine, but as long as I'm begging, a Marriott/skywalk wouldn't hurt.

Shoutouts to all my fellow low-lucks in this forum right now...it's the saddest place on the internet today.
