    Luggage Valet?

    Does anyone have any recent updates regarding what ports have luggage valet? The website says only Seattle, but I saw a posting someplace else that Ft Lauderdale has it. Wondering about Miami. Thanks.

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    Clean with soap and water; soaking them in the tub will work too. Do not cut away/tear away any skin flap. Cover with neosporin/first aid/wound ointment and clean bandage/gauze and tape. Repeat 2x a day until healed. Do not go barefoot in order to keep the bandages clean and dry. Band Aid...

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    Recommend being on the first bus, and if you are driving know exactly where you are going and leave at the time the first bus leaves. Yes you end up waiting around in holding near the start line but better that than not getting on a bus or there being transportation issues. There should be a...

    Favorite podcasts?

    A good way not to have ads is to make sure your podcast app doesn’t use cellular data. It might not eliminate all of them, but I found with Stitcher it eliminates almost all. If you like history podcasts let me know, I have a number of them that I like but know they aren’t what a lot of people...

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    Dove twice; once in 2012 and once in 2017. Both times with DH. In fact being able to dive was the only reason for the WDW trip in 2012. Still have the T-shirt from 2012; 2017 was one of the cheap string bags so those were passed on to kids in the family. It is so much fun to see the faces of...

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    Yes, you do have to give them your medals, and bib if you want that framed. For spinners you tell them which side you want out. Here you go. Picture quality isn’t great because I can’t fully block the sun in that room so there is a reflection of my iPad in them. I picked the matting color...

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    At the rD race merchandise area in 2018 and 2019 there was a table with 8 1/2 x 11 sketches of the race theme(s) done by the Art of Disney sketch artists. I bought one of those and then after the race and all my pictures went to Art of Disney in Epcot to have the medals framed with the sketch...

    Disneyland Paris Half Marathon Weekend 2022

    There isn’t a thread yet for DLP 2022. If runDisney brings the race weekend back with no changes that would be the logical weekend based on past dates, with packages on sale in first quarter 2022 and bib only in second quarter. However, with two years of no races and the almost complete...

    My heart goes out to her. While I was not in need of surgery in 2019, it was a long road of medication, injections and PT to address mine, and I still deal with nerve pain. Her PT will hopefully be able to help her plan a bit, so my suggestions are just that. *Start with super short distances...

    News and Developments for Future In-Person runDisney Events

    I get a refillable mug for the resort, drink during my meal, dump the rest into a bottle, refill my glass, finish my meal, drink some more, finish filling my bottle and refill my glass again to go back to the room. I typically keep refilling bottles from my glass, and sometimes will do multiple...

    @DisCatz, regarding what to do with the shoes you bought, I second wearing them in when you go get fitted. If the store suggests something different give it a try. Best case is you have the right pair of shoes or a pair to wear in rotation, worst case is you now have a nice pair of shoes for...

    1) Fly out Monday. This gives your body a chance to recover from the marathon 2) Pay for the Sunday night stay and checkout early if you decide to fly back Sunday. As previously stated it will be early afternoon before you are finished and back at the hotel. Having a room means you can shower...

    Wanted: First Marathon Tips!

    This is going to sound weird, but it was a lifesaver for me during the 2019 marathon: sunscreen stick. Be comfortable getting it in/out of your pocket/bag and applying it to face/back of neck/arms/ ears while carrying your water bottle. I burn very easily, am turtle slow, and that stretch...

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    It is the (accurate) description for a group of runners from the thread that ran the marathon together in 2020, and are planning on doing it again in 2022. They can, have and will get into shenanigans while supporting each other during the race.

    My guess, based on what I saw at DLP in 2018, is that characters will be up on a platform of some type. If they are right along the course, and have photopass photographers with the characters, the photo would be of the character behind the runner. DLP did that with the Evil Queen during the...

    The Adrenaline’s seem to have no change between models. The store was pushing hard in the fall for me to try the 20s based on how I was moving, though they happily fit me in the Ghost 13s. I bought a pair of each at the time, then promptly hurt my ankle. Every time I thought I was healed I...
