This year hasn't even begun yet (well, for me) but I'm already excited for next year. Basically what I'd like to know is what amount of time I should block out to get the full experience. The four or five days I will have this year will be much too short. For next year I would ideally like to arrive several days early to volunteer and stay at least until the end. Tips and suggestions are appreciated, as I will be submitting my time off request as soon as possible.
