Brilliant timing was going to start planning this weekend with my 'squad'

I will ask the first question for some advice. Which holding zones will be let out to which houses this year?

To answer the inevitable Hell Week question -- after a few years of staggering days off, the five closest counties (Orange, Oscelola, Seminole, Volusia, Brevard) have settled on Monday, October 14 as their in-service day. Which corresponds to Columbus Day up north. Expect a massively busy weekend with wall-to-wall middle and high school kids, particularly that Sunday.

In addition, Orange County (the one Orlando sits in and the biggest of the big three local) is off Friday, October 25, so expect a spike in kids that Thursday/Friday.

Finally Volusia (Daytona Beach) is also out Friday, September 20 and Polk (which is technically the Tampa market but at its closest <20 miles from Universal) has a half-day, so might see a spike that Thursday/Friday as well, but not to the level of the above dates.
