    Take the monorail and make sure you take the monorail back afterwards. Quick and easy. Today the return bus took 1 hour!

    Marathon Weekend 2018

    I left the GF on the monorail at 3:35 and I slowly made my way to corral A and arrived there just before 5AM. Tomorrow I'm leaving at 3:20 to 3:30

    Totally checking a bag. 1/2 is too far to wear anything extra without burning up and the temperature is too cold to stand around in sweaty 1/2 running attire. That goes double for the marathon.

    On the bus at 3:30 or 4 tomorrow? What is the concensus?

    Right hip worked just fine the last two days.

    Marathon Weekend 2018

    Exactly my attitude. Seeing walkers in the A corral, runners 4 abreast, walking in the middle of the road....and all those other habits that drive racers crazy are to be expected. It's just the way it is I guess. All that seemed to clear up by mile 2 though. The happiest place on earth is not...

    Thanks @Dis_Yoda. I was the guy who took a picture in the army jacket.

    All done with 10K. Temps were colder but I felt warmer beforehand. Picture lines were short. I found some Beer Magic on Boardwalk. Was she one of ours?

    Yup. I was on the bus and felt like I arrived waaaaayyy too early. Maybe just my sniveling in the cold made it feel too long.

    Corral A runners for 10K.... what time do you board the bus? Think 430AM is OK from the GF? I'm thinking so but looking for confirmation.

    Brrrrrrr. I was warm enough but never ditched my throw away clothes. 5K was managed very well. Bus question. I was on the bus at 4AM as per the rules. I stood forever though. For Corral A, from the GF... what is a good time to board the bus. Would 430AM be good?

    Ugh. Me too. Numb white fingers pretty much everyday in the winter or you know, just picking up a pack of sandwich meat in the refrigerated aisle. Gloves and hand warmers.

    I'm sure I'll jockey to be in position for a pic there but isn't that area already really really crowded due to bottle neck coming in to the park?

    Marathon Weekend 2018

    We arrived last year on Sunday and stayed a week. Marathon day, Sunday, we made the mistake of arriving at the Beach Club around noon and walking to Epcot. Big Mistake as that's right when the marathon was in it's final couple hours and the park was overcrowded and the marathon route blocked...

    MK Fireworks Dessert Party With Plaza Garden Viewing

    Thanks so much for the write-up. Can I get a couple questions? Table Seating for desserts. Was there plenty of room or was there standing room to eat? Viewing. Was it easy for everyone to see. You know how it always goes with tall guys and some with kids on their shoulders... This Bypass to...

    Bib Placement??????? I normally place my bib on my right thigh. I'm doing Dopey. Anyone see issues with this? Experience?

    Where to keep laptop

    Maybe I'm too trusting but I leave my electronics out all over the states, over 100 nights in various Marriott's last year.

    Marathon Weekend Injury Thread

    Great plan, low impact to keep the muscles loose. You've got enough running history to know to take it easy the rest of the week and take it really easy on the races. As for me I'm getting over some killer low back pain that pretty much kept me from running all month. I'll be in slow steady...
