Thanks for posting that! I checked just now and scored a Flight of Passage as well.

Magical Express Luggage Tags came today. It's getting real.

Also got my ME Luggage Tags yesterday! Of course I did because I need to send DD27 hers and I sent her a package right before the mail came, lol.

No worries. People find small errors in my Excel sheets all the time. Bugs the heck out of me when someone finds an error because I missed it.

Ok, I'm also beginning to worry about getting swept and I'm hoping people can let me know if this is a reasonable concern or not. My average pace for the 18 miler this weekend was 15:44. That's cutting it close to the 16 minutes and it doesn't include any stops. I'm assuming that I'll have at least 1 bathroom stop during the marathon. And I'm not sure how long the bathroom line will be. But I should also have some cushion from the balloon ladies since I have a 5:50 POT based on my half marathon PR. So if I stop for the bathroom around halfway (maybe in Animal Kingdom) and still have an average pace hovering around the 16 minutes per mile (though this is long, slow, easy run pace and not race pace but imagining worst case scenario), should I be ok given that I should hopefully not be in the last corral?

A 5:50 POT (or estimate) is roughly Corral L. The estimated start time of Corral L is 6:17am, whereas the Balloon Ladies is roughly 6:35am. I used your estimated long, slow, easy non-race pace of 15:44.



You will reach Animal Kingdom at ~9:43am, where as the Balloon Ladies will get there ~10:04. You will have an approximate 21 minute buffer at that point in time. Keep on eye on the time of day during the race for a best guess as to where they are. If you're still in Animal Kingdom at 9:55-10:00, then it's starting to cut it close. Since your pace and there's is almost the same, any buffer you have will be because of where you start in the corral. You will gain minimal time during the actual race itself. Hope this helps!

So many things about that photo are just perfect! And that reminds me that since I am no longer doing parks = no DATW. I will have to make sure I stop during the marathon for my Italian frozen margarita!

That does help, thanks! It's good to know about that approximate buffer. Hopefully the bathroom lines aren't too bad If they look bad I'll just keep going until I see one that looks shorter. I got lucky at the Dark Side half this year and there was no line at all at the bathrooms in Animal Kingdom.

I am not sure how many to add. I have 2 runners and two non-runners at the Pop Century from January 4th. We are running the marathon.

 

[rteetz]

Pop and SSR tied at 12 now!

I must say, I am spending a good chunk of this vacation solo and although I am totally good with being by myself, it is nice to know my runDis peeps are near by (I am at POP, but already on your list). Thanks for the list @rteetz !!

First time poster and first time for Dopey!
I'm staying at OKW and looking forward to the runs. Not looking for add to the early starts!
What time is best to be leaving OKW? Will there be a lot of runners staying here?

When I did the Dopey in 2013... standing in the corrals for the half/full -- you could tell the "Dopeys" by the circles under their eyes. Enjoy your race...

Looks like 70 Disers are going to be at WDW weekend so far!

Neat spreadsheet -- thanks for the elbow grease!

Anyone have any idea what the commemorative 25th anniversary item might be in the pre-purchase bundles? Deciding if I should get that or not. I want the ornament for sure but not sure about the other item.

My wife (5k, HM) and I (Dopey) are staying at All Star Sports.

Unfortunately, we are both currently plagued by IT band issues and our training has been impacted. Hopefully we get back up to full speed soon!

80 Disers now!
