I can't stomach the photo prices, even with a discount
I was suspicious when they won't give the prices on the website. Just sign up for a "package" but nothing about what that package is. Shady.

RunDisney tweeted out a discount offer from www.marathonfoto.com
Up to a 33% discount according to RunDisney.
Does anyone know, is Marathon Foto the ones that take photos along the course? In the parks? Are the Disney PhotoPass photographers there as well?
The primary photo I'm hoping to get is coming out of Sleeping Beauty Castle.
If that's Marathon Foto I might opt for the discount coupon.
Great! That's encouraging.
What changes did they make?
Do they have a spot where you can stop and someone will take your picture in front of the castle like they do at WDW or is it just as you're running out?
Yes, I do recall a CM doing that for others. They also have the professional photographers all around that area just like at WDW.

When you refer to the WDW situation, you mean the real photo people, right? Because that's what was going on during this year's WDW half; I saw no photographers taking pictures while you were actually "running" out (like anyone could run in that mess coming out of the castle), but there were signs if you wanted a picture in front of the castle. Running the course, go this way; take a picture, go that way.
At least with Sleeping Beauty Castle it's a bit more simple than Cinderella, there's a chance people won't actually be stopping immediately after coming out of the gate/arch area.
Perhaps the photographers moved into position when the sun was up enough to light the castle. They were there along the right side taking "action shots" (yes, it's pretty tight at that point and everyone is walking) when I went through at about 7:30AM for the WDW HM.when I ran the WDW Half and Princess Half, there were MarathonFoto people sitting on the ground to the right as you exit the castle taking shots of people running out of the castle...maybe they moved out of the way the more crowded the course got??
Serious question -- I signed DW and myself for split time text messages at the ATT.COM link today. Her provider is AT&T, mine is MetroPCS. She's received the text message confirmation to reply back to confirm, but I haven't. Should I be worried? What other options do I have?
I've set up to have Twitter posts sent to my acct of my results, but DW doesn't tweet
I don't want a repeat of a race (may have been last W&D) where only half of the text messages arrived, and then not until the next day

Costumes? Yes... Costumes! Anyone else want to share yours? Pics on the blog: haunted mansion maid and nemo! http://noguiltlife.com/2014/08/dumbo-double-dare-costume-reveal.html
My first love at Sparkle Skirts was the Wonder Woman skirt. I've been eyeing it since my first RunDisney event last year (hello 1 yr anniversary). I am old school and love Wonder Woman. So when my friend said let's dress up, I used it as an excuse to buy my first skirt and I will be in a comfortable Wonder Woman costume (I.e., skirt, tank, cape). Not Disney, but I'm excited anyway!
By the time I went through they weren't there. And we were walking through the castle (I didn't want to be!) and then everyone was flat out stopping as they exited to take pix. Sigh. I hate being slow.
