I just converted my Saratoga Springs 1Br DVC reservation to Riviera for race weekend. Psyched to try out a new resort. Just about all resorts are available at the 7-month mark.

I had a Safari glitch so by the time I got through, the half was sold out and only the Kessel+Half was available. So I ended up paying $70 more to add the virtual. I guess I'll use one of my last training runs for the virtual. After having signed up for this year's cancelled Star Wars and Wine...

Checking in here. I just decided to move my plans from Wine & Dine to Star Wars, hoping that things in Florida will settle out.

I've decided to bag on this year's WD. I'm at risk and there's just too much uncertainty in Florida that I don't expect to be resolved by November. I'm hoping to be able to do Rival Run in the Spring and maybe WD in the Fall with a full Food and Wine. I wish everybody in this group the best of...

I tried several times during the day, including waiting for about 3 hours and giving up. Then I logged in around 4pm, got right in and made reservations for 4 days during WD weekend. It took about 3 minutes. There's no rhyme or reason as to why I got in. Just luck of the draw.

The Marine Corps Marathon posted on June 2 that they plan to go forward as scheduled with protections. That race is two weeks before the W&D. However, they have not yet set a date for registration.

Hopefully, somebody on this thread can post if ANY in-person race happens between now and November. I was going to do a small-ish half marathon in mid-September in Saratoga Springs, NY, but it just went virtual. Somebody, somewhere is going to half to take the plunge and have a race. I don't...

We generally request Woods view and upper level. It's quieter than the pool side, and sometimes you can see Epcot fireworks through the trees.

I expect that they will be explicit one way or another about the Halloween and Christmas parties. They're also going to need to make a call whether Food & Wine is happening.

There's a Mickey's Christmas Party the night of the race. Has anybody ever done both the Christmas Party and post-race party?

I got an email that registration for the Army Ten Miler in DC/VA, which was supposed to start yesterday, is postponed. However, the race isn't cancelled. So they're still taking a wait-and-see stance. That race has about 20,000 runners, so it's roughly comparable to W&D. It's a month before W&D...

Yeah, I had a mid-June ressie still thinking it was possible on the March 31 banking deadline. But I cancelled last week. My biggest concern was getting 260 borrowed points re-deposited into next year. I'm only losing 13 2019 UY points, so it's not a big deal. Maybe I'll get them back if...

Okay, I get it.

So why doesn't the extension for 2019 Use Years apply to August points? It's too late to bank those.

So does anybody have any thoughts on why this doesn't apply to 2019 August Use Year points, for which it is too late to bank? I have a small amount of points (13) that I am losing for a cancelled vacation in June.

I had a June 16-21 trip that I decided today to cancel. I'm in a risk category, and I can't imagine that parks, restaurants, pools, etc. will be up an running (and safe) by mid-June. The ressie was 260 points, of which 247 were borrowed, which, as it turns out, was a good thing. DVC is...

You can Google to find previous years' corral placements based on expected finish, which will give you a good idea where you'll be. The conversion from 10K to a half is basically the MacMillan calculator. I think it's about a 30 second per mile difference between 10K and half pace.

I'm hoping WDW makes their decision to close in April soon. I have a DVC ressie for Rival Run with borrowed points, and I'm hoping they extend their policy to return borrowed points to their original year into April.

So I have a ressie 4/17-21 for the Star Wars Half Marathon, which was just cancelled, and almost all of my points were borrowed. Since I'm already within the 30-day window, I'm going to wait to see if and when the resort closure is extended into April. I'm hoping that returning borrowed points...

10K is the shortest distance for the half POT. You just need to make sure that they post their results online, so you can submit the URL.
