Same. For Wine & Dine Half Marathon weekend...

Or as I’m calling it this year: Sleep Is For The Weak Weekend, I’m gonna get a Halloween night party ticket and roll right into the 5K afterward

You won't be alone in that for sure! I did it last year before the Expo and that was such a good time.

Tiana looks awesome!

Now, if we could better define what "summer" actually means....

In Disney Summer terms it will open on Juneteenth

In calendar Summer Terms I think Juneteenth (which falls on the last day of spring) will be either the start of previews or official date announcement

When I ran in 19 the hype DJ was all hands up who is still wearing their costumes from not so scary and then power napped in your car in the Epcot parking lot lots of cheering

lol that's my fear... we're a late June trip, technically summer buuuuuut I know too well how Disney runs

Aw, I would just look at it as a nice bonus if it's open by your trip. If not, there's next time!

We managed to successfully register for the DL Halloween 1/2 Marathon this morning. I don't have the Run Disney membership so we registered with the masses. We were in the queue within seconds of it opening and sat in the queue for an hour and 28 minutes before getting to register. By the time we got in, the 5k, 10k, combo race, and kids race had all sold out. Super excited we got in - but still can't believe they don't have a virtual queue and text you when you get to register.
I started at home, then put my home laptop on my hotspot while I drove to the office, to ensure I wouldn't lose my place in line.
I haven't tried to get into Chicago or New York lately. I am guessing the destination races are all this popular now.

The cookie bar at Summer House on the Lake is a favorite stop when at Disney Springs. I'm determined to try all the cookies.

I can get behind that casting

I like the very retro "Carousel of Progress" vibe to that artwork. It suits the FF. They even tossed in Herbie the Robot!

If Marvel is smart, they'll set this in the past like Captain America was. Send them off into space, they're not heard from, reappear in modern day Earth with their abilities.

I like that take. Or even just set it in the 60's - not a lot is known about that period in the MCU anyway. Either way, I think a slick, retro-future, World's Fair vibe is what they shoud go for. That artwork leads me to believe that the people involved really get it.

I’m hoping for a super tiny Chris Evans cameo in Fantasic Four

Like an Ant Man crossover? I can dig it.

I was thinking more of a callback to his first Marvel role as Johnny Storm, but your way is good too

Adding another role that Pedro Pascal has to juggle on his plate. Not complaining as I loved him as Joel in HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us.
