First time posting, love the info this board provides! I am running my first Disney ½ marathon in January and am hoping someone can answer a few questions for me:
1. Will the family be able to take a bus from All-Star at 6:00am to watch me finish?
2. How far from the finish line will the bus drop the family? I’m trying to estimate the time they need to arrive.
3. Will the family be able to get reasonably close (< 1/4 mile) to the finish line to watch me finish without buying the Chear package?
4. We were planning to rope drop a couple rides at EPCOT after the race. Is the park filled with runners who are still “running” the 1/2 marathon waiting for rides, thereby negating the benefits of rope dropping? EPCOT opens at 9:00am that Saturday if it helps.
5. We were planning to rope drop Hollywood Studios the following day (Sunday) during the marathon. HWS opens at 8am that day which is 3 hours after the start of the marathon. I believe HWS is about ¾ into the race. I imagine there could be quite a few runners in the park at that time. Same question I had about EPCOT. Will the runners negate the benefit of rope dropping?
Sorry for all the questions. Starting to get excited about the trip. 60 days and counting!
