And while you're planning aheadValentine's Day is on a Saturday this year. Better get those reservations now. In fact all the big holidays in 2026 take place on a Friday or Saturday. 4th of July and Halloween both on a Saturday. Christmas and New Years Day 2027 both on Fridays. I think we have to keep Thanksgiving on a Thursday though.
