I thought I answered this, there are plenty of things you can do without being in a crowd. Where are you staying?

Tamarak Resort (Festiva) on Xanadu Rd. Got the Wisconsin Dell Convention & Visitors Center book today. Yes, it sounds like there are things to do if they are open. Will start making calls tomorrow. Thanks for your reply.

The Wisconsin Dells Visitor and Convention Bureau has an informative web site about the area, things to do, places to stay etc. They offer a free visitors guide, as @jkb noted above.

The tommy bartlett show is not running this year, but I believe all other attractions are open.

I have never been but, back in the day, year after year, I reserved 4th of July, 2 bedroom Timbers at Bluegreen's Christmas Mountain Village, deposited them with RCI and got some great trades. Hope to get there myself someday.

Bluegreen (points) changed the process of reserving, depositing and trading with RCI and now we access RCI via the Bluegreen website and it recognizes how many points we have. I haven't gotten nearly as good a trades that way and I've noticed the number of points required having gone up over the last few years.
