    which discounts? I've been swamped at work and I haven't had time to look at anything. I know I could probably go on the website, but in all honesty, I'm so overwhelmed right now, that I would appreciate a little hint instead :)

    Oh wow! They already refunded you your money for LS? You are having an easier time with them than others are with rD, but that just really cemented everything for me :(

    If you don’t need the money right now, you may want to tell them it turns out you can run that weekend after all and wait for them to cancel the event so you get all of your money back. Because I agree with others who said they will have to give refunds for a race that is cancelled; especially...

    As sad as this makes me to say because I'm a Tink legacy runner and I just adore Tinkerbell in general; I also think Tink is done with and they will move LS to May. I think this because they already have people's money for LS and no one has yet registered for Tink. It's easier to cancel a race...

    I agree with you...I was saying that the longer this drags out, the less hopeful I become that these races will take place.

    I thought the same thing; we would hear by yesterday due to people that follow the Galloway training plan that Disney promotes. It is completely shameful they haven't said anything to let runners know what is happening. And they know it doesn't matter because Disney will have a "magical"...

    Official Tinkerbell Half Marathon 2018

    I'm a Tink legacy runner and I'm so sad about the possibility of not racing next year. I'm doing the Fairy Tale challenge in Feb, my first WDW race and was hoping to get a pink coast to coast. It's not looking good for DL races next year though, the Disneyland Hotel has rooms available for race...

    Rooms are available for Tink weekend as well; I just looked ... I'm thinking that is not a good sign at all :(

    That's interesting because every running group I'm a part of States this is correct race etiquette. They also have the slower runner/walkers use the outside track lanes; but some people just like harp to on people and tell them they are wrong.

    I've done many DL half marathons; I'm a legacy runner for Tink, this was by the worst experience. I have also done many other half marathons. This was by far my worst experience.

    Well, it started with security lines being completed backed up. Runners couldn't get through the security lines to get to the race corrals in time. If you went to bag check, you had to go through security twice. The corrals were overly crowded; they should have made more corrals. This made the...

    The good news is you can come to CA no matter what! I signed up for the Fairy Tale challenge hoping to earn my Pink Coast 2 Coast this year, so I am trying to keep the faith that they will still come through :)

    The Galloway training plans on the website do have you train for 19 weeks, but many programs have you train for 12 weeks. Also, Galloway's program has you run about 14 miles as our longest run while other programs have you run 10 or 11. I'm not saying any are better than the other; just saying...

    I'll pack layers and if I wind up having to buy something, then I guess I will have to live with that ;)

    I was reading the comments about the year of the Frozen 5K and it being cold; is it typically cold in Feb in Orlando?

    I have no idea about the theme, but I was thinking how much I love your hat and then realized it's a regular beanie with Minnie Mouse ears . I originally thought it was a beanie that came with Minnie Mouse ears and thought it was adorable and that I needed to find one .... not that I need a...

    I haven't been to WDW since 2000. I grew up on the East Coast and we went every other summer. I moved to the West Coast and go to DL often. Needless to say I am more than super excited about my trip in Feb. What are some of your favorite restaurants? Trying to decide on dining reservations...

    Thank you for all the responses re: buses on race day. I'm staying at the All Star Movie Resort. I'll make sure my butt is down and in line during the times posted. The Anaheim Resort Transportation at DL only had buses every 15-20 mins depending on where you stay. Years ago I started staying at...

    Hi everyone, This will be my first WDW race; I've done a bunch at DL and I'm a pro at getting to the starting line...I have my wake up time and leaving time down pat. I just started skimming these messages and it just dawned on me how much bigger WDW is (duh...I mean I've been there plenty of...
