Good morning and happy holidays, runDisney all-stars!

Marathon weekend kicks of in 16 days! I hope everyone is enjoying the final stages of their training plans, nailing their final big distance runs and staying healthy. We'll do a training check-in next week so those who have nailed their training can boast a little and those who need a little encouragement as we enter the final stretch can get it.

But for this week's Sundays are for Disney - it's the holidays. It's a time (hopefully) for a little time away from work and school, spending time with those who mean the most to you and spending a few bucks on family and friends. But what about you? For Sundays are for Disney, I want to know how you are going to spend a little time and money on yourself while at Disney (because dang it, we've all earned it).

I don't plan on doing anything special for myself. The shirts I'll get for Dopey are probably all the attire I need and I don't usually buy many other souvenirs. I am, however, going to allow myself to eat what I want, drink what I want and (against my better judgment) spend as much time in the parks as I want. I've worked hard to train for Dopey and I want to give it my all, but I don't want to sacrifice too much time away from the parks. (That said, someone will probably find me sleeping on a bench at 7 p.m. after the marathon)

Have a great week, everyone.

P.S. Thanks to those who have gotten me info for the corrals spreadsheet. I realize it's probably not going to be super helpful for most, but if it helps a few runDisney all-stars meet up in the corrals or find a running buddy, I'll consider it a success.

We won't be at Marathon weekend, but we are treating ourselves to dinner at V&A on NYE. They're having a 4-hour champagne dinner with 7-8 different champagnes brought over by Tattinger.

I'm doing something similar ... drinking a couple of Busch Lattes in my living room before going to bed before 11.

 

[run.minnie.miles]

SAFD: This is my first (& perhaps only!) marathon, so I’m hoping that the merch is great and I can snag a shirt or maybe a jacket. On our last Disney trip for the princess half, I only got the Magic Kingdom Starbucks mug and really regretted not getting the others, so as a celebration of running thru all of the parks, I’m going to get all of the mugs.

 

[cavepig]

I plan to buy all the race merch., well not really, but I do plan on getting a few things. I'm looking forward to the snowglobe so hopefully it doesn't sell out super fast a I didn't pre-order, if it does, oh well. In park I already bought the APs so that's the gift to me for this year, all the park time and rides as I'm all about the rides

 

[AFwifelife]

SAFD: The only merch I'm planning on is a sneaker ornament. Which I waffle between pre-ordering or just waiting for Expo day, but I don't really want the other stuff in the bundle. Other than that, I'm not a huge stuff person.

I'm looking forward to kid-free time and will definitely be doing some park time just to enjoy getting around the parks without little kids and everything that they need.

 

[Novatrix]

SAFD: My two big splurges for this trip are as follows
1) Backstage Magic tour, I have always wanted to take this tour, but never had the right combination of enough days/not needing to shuttle other people around to add it to the schedule. Really looking forward to the repair shops!
2) Race Retreat for the Marathon - This is how I know it's going to be a comfortable 55 to 70 degrees at the start, instead of last year's frigid temperatures. You're welcome.

Merchandise wise, I'll try and get the Dopey race magnet, and there's a good chance I'll get the marathon ears embroidered with "My 1st Dopey Jan. 2019" at the end.

I’m doing a bunch of big meals this go around. I am considering a tour or two as well.

As for merchandise I typically get some pins, the race weekend ornament, and will see what the jackets look like. I don’t buy much in park anymore unless they have a popcorn bucket I want, or other limited edition type things.

 

[Bree]

My biggest splurge is a hotel room onsite for a week. I live about 45 minutes away, but I know I won’t get the sleep I need if i stay home. Driving while tired is definitely a bad idea. I also booked the Caring for Giants tour. At the expo I’d like to pick up a Dopey magnet, a race weekend sweatyband and possibly a marathon & Dopey jacket and a coffee cup.

Corral: E (marathon)
5K pace: 10:30ish
10K pace: 11:30ish
Half pace: Sleep
Full pace: 12:30ish
Stopping for characters: All of them. Probably gonna get swept in a character line.
(Paces are pretty much made up since my paces have been all over the place lately, but we'll see what happens on race day)

SAFD: Well, I'm gonna be by myself for the whole trip, so the whole thing is about me.
As for buying myself things, I'll be getting a Pandora bead, which is my Disney trip tradition. I also kinda want a sleeveless race weekend shirt to wear to my barre classes, but we'll see if I find anything I like. Probably not gonna buy much because I keep spending too much money on groceries.

 

[camaker]

SAFD: I can’t really think of anything I want to buy on this trip. I’ll keep my eyes out and see if anything appeals to me.
