    This is from NOAA. Saturday night worries me with the mention of thunderstorms and volunteer set up. Yikes!

    Marathon Weekend 2024

    Just to add to all the other thoughts/ideas- I started staying off-property (usually AirBnB) as I have found it to be more reliably quieter than any of the Disney properties. Both for heading to bed earlier the night before, sleeping before the race and post race afternoon napping. Of course...

    Annual Passes Resume April 13 (DVC) April 20 (General Public)

    Wow- online not getting anywhere. Called twice and the lines were so busy I could not even connect to the Disney system. Called a third time- got right in- waited on hold 90 secs and bought my pass. Yay!

    Spring Surprise (March 31-April 3rd 2022)

    Did you read what they said about each race? Animal Kingdom is mentioned as expected but everything else says around (10K) /through (10miler) the Walt Disney Resort. I would have thought the 10k would mention Epcot and TOT would say Studios. Makes me wonder...

    Spring Surprise (March 31-April 3rd 2022)

    You can contact RD- QUICKLY- and see if you can pay to upgrade to the Challenge. But they usually ONLY permit that when they have spots open. So do it now. It will cost you a few dollars- maybe $45-50 depending.

    Spring Surprise (March 31-April 3rd 2022)

    How can I find a link to see about their bibs? I can't seem to locate anything on RD or their sites?

    Spring Surprise (March 31-April 3rd 2022)

    Spring Surprise (March 31-April 3rd 2022)

    Flat me for registration day! My family is laughing at me- but I will take all the luck I can get. Trying to reg two/three people is STRESSFUL

    Spring Surprise (March 31-April 3rd 2022)

    Because the last TWO January Marathons haven't been hot enough? Right! :sunny::sunny::sunny:

    Spring Surprise (March 31-April 3rd 2022)

    So in reading that they have pulled items from the Cast Connection store to restock shelves in other shops- it makes me wonder if there is an issue in getting the items ( esp medals) in a timely fashion for these races. Maybe that uncertainty has been a factor in the registration delay? They...

    Spring Surprise (March 31-April 3rd 2022)

    "Maybe the first year will be the ghost of races past. ToT, Minnie 15k, and Expedition Everest Challenge." The early released artwork/graphics would seem to support that idea! Would LOVE that!

    Spring 2022 DCP Applications

    Were any of the acceptances last week part of the culinary internship program? I know that is more specialized and they work closely with my DD's university. She is hoping to do her internship there in the Spring.

    Deciding on Goofy v. Dopey

    Lots of great advice on this thread! I did Dopey in 2019- I just want to echo that Dopey is more of EVERYTHING-, $$$$ upfront and overall, days needed to be there (esp in for possible flight delays/bad weather in Jan), nights in hotels, early AM wake-up, early bed times, extra pairs of shoes...

    Why did they eliminate the Star Wars race weekend?

    Yes, I too have seen that running has become more female-focused. Which is interesting given the new POT of 2:00 requirement it will make those corrals more male-dominated. (I wonder if Disney knows their audience and who books the family trips to the parks?) I know by running Disney for all...

    Foot/calf massager recommendations?

    While not as targeted as the percussion massagers- the Black & Decker orbit buffer does wonders as a massager. They use to sell a version at the expos called a BFF (endorsed by Galloway) that was around $300, the B&D one is $38 from Amazon. I use it all the time on my calves! You can turn it on...

    Marathon Weekend 2020

    Anyone notice that Dr. Cool is no longer a sponsor nor were they at the expo. Makes me wonder about cooling towels this weekend when we really need them the most.
