Hey hey - going back to run another DOPEY this year. My sweet hubby last year came with me to the start line at 3:30, and then spectated from EPCOT, Main Street, and Finish Line... so lots of downtime for him... and he is spectating again in 2024. This year we are staying in a garden-cottage at Boardwalk.... I was hoping the times would work out for him to take the monorail from MK back to EPCOT, scan in, and then walk back to the Boardwalk and be able to eat breakfast/change/charge devices/sit on not concrete/on bleachers. But looks like historically the park won't be open to him until 9:30 AM or possibly 10 AM... so I am wondering if he could take the bus? I am assuming he will get back to EPCOT a little before 9. Is it correct that the buses started back up at 6:30 last year? Either way- they for sure would be running by 9 right?? For all the sub-4 finishers?
MORE DETAILS AS I WORK THIS OUT IN MY HEAD: I am slow - 13:30-14:30 min pace. Of course, there is the potential the course changes, but assuming it doesn't, and I am pacing similar to last year - I got to MK just a bit before 8, and didn't finish until noon. I figure if the times are the same, he could head back to EPCOT, and hop on a bus back to Boardwalk all before 9? And that would give him more downtime than waiting for the park to open at 9:30-10. Hang out there probably for 2ish hours, and then walk back to EPCOT, out the front of the park, and head down to the race area? We have APs so scanning in is no big deal.
Thoughts? Other Ideas?
