My best advice, unless you have already done it, is to go ahead and make reservations at the inns for dining. They book a year ahead, possibly more. I have been so disappointed not to be able to do that the last few times I've visited Wmsbg. When we used to go and take the children (a lifetime ago?) half the fun was deciding whether we would eat at the Kings Arms Tavern or Christians Campbell or the Inn itself? To be reduced to eating in the new modern restaurant was a huge letdown. Maybe the crowds will be off enough that it won't be as much of a problem, but I doubt it. Book ahead. You've everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Good luck and best wishes,
