Marathon Weekend 2019

SAFD:
-Becoming a Marathoner!
-The parks! We haven’t been since 2017, so I’m especially looking forward to Pandora and TSL.
-Meeting my dis-friends!
-QT with my husband. Traveling with him is my favorite thing!
-As cheesy as this sounds, just the joy of being at Disney. I know we can all be critical of it at times, but WDW truly is one my favorite places on earth!
 
Can anyone give suggestions on how to handle running 26 miles in rain? The rain chance just went up to 60% overnight and in the morning. Do you wear certain clothing? Certain socks? Any suggestions would be helpful!

Still a week out so things are bound to continue to change. I don’t change anything that I do. I plan for no rain and if it rains I suck it up.

See! See! That was my view too, but DH said there was no need for all of that. So down to 1 suitcase (eyeroll) and my carryon. Lol, I just can’t decide on what I really need.

On a side note- I’m counting on all you Dopeys to share your experiences with airport security lines- are they crazy due to TSA being short staffed? I’m not flying out of BDL until Friday so hopefully I can gauge how much extra time I’ll need!

Are you worried about BDL lines? FWIW I flew out of there tonight at 7:30 and it was one of the quickest checkpoints I’ve ever had there (I have pre-chek but regular line looked fine too).
 
I have pre-check so I am not too worried. I also leave MKE at 6AM which its rarely ever crowded that early.
 
So excited for my first runDisney Half and my first trip to Walt Disney World... I'm used to races at Disneyland so quick question about spectators.
If I'm understanding correctly on the day of the half (and full) spectators are allowed to enter the Magic Kingdom to cheer on Main Street... They just have to exit before the parks opens is that correct? You don't need to be a member of the ChEAR squad to do this? Just want to make sure I don't give family members the wrong info.

Thanks!

Correct.
 
Avoid Panda Express at the MCO airport. I have food poisoning from there ... It has been a fun couple of days so far. I can say though that my bed to bathroom speed has definitely improved - I hope I get better in time for the runs... Pardon the Pun

Front Desk at Pop knew 'nothing' about the bus situation for the races/expo yesterday, Sunday, morning. Any idea when they should have information, or be willing to release it?

Flying out of Orlando now for work and security doesn’t seem too bad, about typical lines for a Monday morning here. I’ll see about posting another update when I return tomorrow.

According to the event guide the busses will start leaving the hotels at 9:30 on Wednesday morning for the expo. They run on a hotel to expo loop. For the races busses start leaving at 3:30 for the 5k and 10k and 3 for the half and full. Look for the coach busses at the bus stop. Eventually a sign board will go up in the lobby.
 
Rain hat is in the suitcase!

My brother just flew this weekend, so I'm gonna talk to him today and ask him how his security experience was. I have pre-check, so I'm not anticipating too much of a line, but I just want to be sure. I keep hearing that TSA agents are calling in sick because they can't get to work (and/or don't want to work for free... which I totally get), so I'm just a little nervous and want reassurance that security won't be too bad despite the short staffing.
