Interesting topic considering we have also decided to end our rD participation. Between 2014 when we ran our first rD race (Expedition Everest) to our last race, the 2018 DarkSide, we ran a total of 19 rD races, including two Dopeys. I don't see us going back to WDW rD races because the costs...

After 17 years of Food and Wine Festival, and five years of Wine and Dine challenges, we have decided to take a break. Dark Side will be our only trip to WDW this year and have no plans for DL, which will be odd since we have been doing every rD race the last several years. So, as a replacement...

Doing the runs during F&W lets us feel less guilty about all the food and wine we consume. :rolleyes1 :drinking1

We will be in, I think. With the DL races cancelled, we are planning on RnR Half in Chengdu, China, just because it sounds fun and is fairly cheap. It was the weekend before W&D this year though, so we will have to wait and see if the scheduling works.

Super excited about this run. In an insanely crazy way. We just finished the Wine & Dine Two Course Challenge. Had great fun before, during, and after this year. Doing the Gauntlet Challenge for the first time; our last DL rD race for a bit. And the crazy part... We are doing the Avengers to...

Ugh. Us DINKs are not looking forward to that! We have gone as Galaxy Quest, Mork & Mindy, and Star Trek. But that is our sense of humor...

If you think you will be cold, bring a trash bag or a thrift shop sweatshirt (we buy and bring these if it is a 'cold' start). I also bring a water and snack, as I like to be sure I don't start thirsty or hungry. Unlike others, I like a 5 hour energy about a half hour before the start too. More...

Yeah for Tailwind! Heard about it on this site (who knew DIS was such an awesome running board?!) and this was the third try with it. The green tea flavor is a hit with us. Best liquid fuel we have found yet! We will never run with anything else. This! We were super surprised to find ourselves...

This. I'm glad the announcement was made before our renewal date.

All the packing angst is making me laugh! Not that I've never had it, mind you... Just realized I haven't scheduled our ride from the airport to the resort yet! We have been traveling so much this year I'm not as pumped about this trip as I have been in the past. We have checked our running...

I'm glad we decided to do the Avengers this year; it was the one we had never done previously, and may never be able to do again. Also glad Disney gave all the AP holders this year an extra 30 days on their passes - it saved me from needing to buy park tickets for the Avengers this weekend. And...

It did say you needed to get a wristband. Don't know if they can just scan your MB for that, or if they need the card. Card may be easiest if you can remember to bring it, which is usually our problem...

We did this two years ago. Thought it was fantastic. Wanted to lick the soup bowl. Doing it again this year is our backup if I don't get Hibachi. If booking opens...

Called the FEST line at 4am. 20 min wait. Answered at 4:24. CM said nothing was showing as open yet. Tried several different routes. Hibachi reservation I wanted was showing 5 parties booked due to early booking. Guess it could be full. Hung up and called a different number. Answered in 2...

50 minutes on hold. Hibachi not available, but French Meal Traditions was. Guess I'm calling back Thursday, 4am, ugh.

This should not be an issue. We have been doing rD for three or four years now (multiple runs each year) and my running buddy's first name on her registration does not match any of her ID's (parental chosen name verses personally chosen name...). Her rD registration and PoTs all have one name...

Catching up on this thread... A couple of reminders for all the new F&W attendees: 1. During registration you can call the dining line as well as the FEST line to make reservations. I usually have other's trying to call in with me; first answer is the one we use for reservations. Or, the year...

I know, it's scary! And we are doing W&D the previous weekend. But we are not full crazy, we're skipping the Dopey next January!

We've decided to pull out our Tower of Terror bellhop and Guardians of the Galaxy costumes we have used in past races (this will be our first Avengers/Gauntlet Challenge). Seem like appropriate costumes for this race! We will also be doing the RnR LV Half the evening of the Avengers Half. That...

Our goals were some character pics (Dopey and Mickey were a must), finish each race before the balloon ladies, ride EE during the full, drink champagne during the last mile of the full, have fun during each run, and to not feel dead the day after the Dopey was completed. We met each goal, but...
