One last comment before I shut my trap. Disney already implements corral placement based on when you sign up for anyone who signs up after, or doesn't supply a POT by, October 3rd. So, you could be a potential 3:30 or 4:00 finisher and if you sign after 10/3 you can't provide a POT, and likely...

Again, I'm not trying to abandon anything. I'm simply offering up some potential solutions to make all the people happy that were on here earlier complaining about the corral hoopers. My experience was great. Then again, I obey rules and regulations. I'll just sit in the background on this...

I'm not trying to make any changes to the system at all. Others here complained about the system, and I just tried to offer up some ideas that may help their issues. What i it with the bitterness on this board? Why don't you take issue with the people that complained about the people hopping...

See....I told you - my opinion really isn't worth anything! :) Only reason I suggest different color bibs, is it would be easier for attendants to separate people trying run into a corral where they don't belong. I was in corral E, and not a single attendant asked to see my bib on the way in...

The 2018 marathon was my first runDisney event. My on opinion, which really isn't worth anything, is there should be two groups up front. First group should be elites. Second group should be "qualifiers" (as in Boston) or people who can prove they have the potential to finish in say 4:00 or...

Thanks Flash! Actually I felt like I was dressed reasonable warm - Nike pro compression pants, 2xu thermal compression top covered with a loose performance shirt. Wore gloves (nothing heavy) at least halfway thru. I'm usually the opposite in terms of hydration and sweat rate. I desperately...

I'm also in, just not sure what races. Sunday's marathon was my first ever, and came on the heels of major weight loss over the past year and half. I didn't know what to expect. Trained well, but as fate would have it, suffered anterior tibialis tendonitis during my final long rin 3 weeks...

Anther question. This time regarding the chEAR squad. My wife is in the platinum chEAR squad. How do ChEAR squad members get to Epcot? Do they take standard DIsney buses to the park, or are they permitted to ride with the runners? Sorry for the stupid questions.

Awesome! Thank you, again! You saved me a world of angst tonight. I obsess over the strangest things.

Thanks, Croach! I read somewhere that there is a sticker that comes with your bib that your supposed to peel off and place on your gear bag. Only sticker on my is the tracking sticker on the back. Do the attendants place a sticker on the bag with your bib number?

Another rookie question. Sorry. Do I need to carry ID with me during the marathon? Just wondering how the checked gEAR bag works, and how I will retrieve t without a license? Unless of course i's ties to magic band or race bib. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank...

Does anyone here know exactly where, near the castle, the "Chear Zone" is located at the Magic Kingdom? My wife has the Chear Squad platinum package, and it is note dtha there's a special area near the castle where this is at. Just curious. If we know now, it will save her some time getting...

Well, I bit the bullet late this afternoon, and moved my flight up a day and added a night to my room because of this oncoming snowstorm. Not taking any chances of having my flight cancelled and not being able to get out for two days or so because of backed up air travelers. I've worked too...

Good morning, Everyone! This is the last weather update I'm going to put out there for people traveling from the mid atlantic and northeast to Orlando for this week's races. Apparently, the forecast is still up in the air, but the forecasted noreaster between 1/4 and 1/5, is going to come to...

No problem. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to put it on just in case, but remember, the first two hours will basically be in the dark. Good luck! Temps will be low so you may surprise yourself on your time.

Not sure you'll need sunblock. Can't imagine the Max UV index will be above 3 or 4. The sun is at such a shallow angle the UV index should definitely be very low.

That's a good point. Thank you for bringing that up!

My note was misconstrued. I wasn't trying to be snippy. At this point, I'm resigned to run this marathon in cold weather which is not a problem because I live in the mid atlantic and most of my training for the past 8 weeks has been in cold temps. I just want to make sure I get there...

Yes. You'll just need to go to the baggage claim area to get those bags without tags, and when you head over to the Disney Express area, stop at the host stand out front and tell them. They'll take your bags and make sure they get on your bus.
