It's a fun time, but it does require planning.

I'd even forget about the shuttle. People arrive & leave for Churchill at different times so going is one thing, but at the end of the day everyone is trying to leave at once so it's a zoo. We parked at Papa John's & walked to Churchill. It's not that far, both sides of the street have sidewalks & you'll run into some interesting characters trying to buy / sell tickets.
