Marathon Weekend 2018

[*DisneyDreamer]

Safe travels to everyone still heading in over the next couple days! My flight is scheduled to leave at 7:30 tonight. No weather problems here other than the extreme cold, but according to Flight Aware, our plane travels through Baltimore over the course of the day, so hopefully that doesn’t cause an issue. I know the worst of the storm is away from there, but they are getting some snow and wind. Fingers crossed we make it on time. If we do, I should be at WDW around midnight, and then off to DHS and the expo tomorrow!

Congrats to all the 5K runners! Other than being cold, I hope you enjoyed your race!

Hey it’s DD28 here. I’m a huge Starbucks nerd, I work there, and I collect the you are here mugs. Is there anyone who would be willing to pick them up for me from AK, HS and MK? I could pay you in cash at the hhh meet up at beach club on Friday or Venmo you the money. Or I’d be willing to meeting you anywhere outside the parks.

Hey! if you do not get all of them on your trip, let me know. I have AP and we go a few times a month so I have no problem grabbing you one and shipping it.

So the hard part's done, right?

For me it is probably the 2nd hardest. Not a fan of the shorter distances. Just hurts so much. Excited for the next one!

We don’t leave until Tuesday so that would be great! Thanks so much! “I don’t know you, but I love you” -DD28

Are you guys doing DATW? Might be a chance to get them to you if you haven’t got any before then.

Yeah... I missed it too.

 

[Dave Rolen]

Brrrrrrr. I was warm enough but never ditched my throw away clothes. 5K was managed very well.

Bus question. I was on the bus at 4AM as per the rules. I stood forever though.

For Corral A, from the GF... what is a good time to board the bus. Would 430AM be good?

 

[garneska]

@SunDial what was your driving route from the Fort to Epcot? did you go the back way and turn left out of the fort or go by MK and turn right out of the fort?

 

[CheapRunnerMike]

I thought that was you and your group in the corrals (the sweaters gave it away). I couldn’t work past my anxiety to say hello.

I know it is easier said than done as anxiety is tough to overcome, but I will say that John is just as cool and laid back in real life as he is on these boards...a really easy guy to get along with

 

[bellanotte10]

I grabbed someone else’s throw away clothes.... and I wore them the entire race.... it is the same temperature back home in Boston than it is here almost

 

[rteetz]

Yeah... I missed it too.

If you were looking after @DopeyBadger left the sign probably wasn’t high enough. I’m not exactly a tall person

Tomorrow you need to pull a Dopey and stand on someone's shoulders!

It’s pretty rude to ask this of strangers. Mugs are delicate and difficult to cart around, and you’re asking for three from different locations. A close friend asked me to bring two Starbucks mugs back from a trip recently and it was a huge hassle. I did it because I care about her, but I really wish she hadn’t asked. Save yourself and others the trouble, and buy them on eBay.

Congrats 5K runners!

I’d love to see a pic of what the marathon bib looks like!!

She asked if anyone would be willing. People can make there own minds up from there. Really not sure why you needed to put her on blast.

We tried to find the meet up too and never saw you guys. I think we were in the right spot and there by 4 AM so not sure what our problem was. Lol. We did see @CherieFran this morning though so it was nice to visit with her.

Hoping to find everyone tomorrow.

It has nothing to do with race merchandise and she’s using a popular thread to ask if anyone is willing to martyr themselves oh her behalf so she can save a few bucks.

Advice wanted:

We are now scheduled to land in Orlando at 5:30 pm on Friday. This makes getting to the Expo by 7 dicey and we are running the half on Saturday morning. I've been on hold on the phone with runDisney for more than an hour. I'm now thinking about the possibility that I'll never be able to get thru on the phone. Assuming I can't get hold of them, what would a plan be if I get to Orlando and can't make the Expo before it closes?
