I SO hope that the weather is nice for you. I hope that I endured all of the rain for you, too.
When you go on your ride, it will be nice not to have the traffic to contend with. If I am right, they close the park this weekend.
I don't think that I will ever ride in Yellowstone again if there is traffic. The shoulder was nice and wide, but the drop at the edge of the pavement was pretty steep. I had to watch both my left and my right VERY closely. I had a car pass me about every 3 minutes. Snowplows, huge trailers, cars, busses. It just wasn't as peaceful as it should have been. I get nervous when I realize that there is a very good chance that the drivers are looking for wildlife, not bikers on the shoulder.
When you go, are the stores open at Old Faithful? Eateries? Hotels?
