Official Upcoming RunDisney DISMeets Thread

[Keels]

I'm pretty sure @DopeyBadger will handle the pre-race Marathon Weekend meets ... I just know it won't be me, since, you know, I don't get to the start area until the last possible minute that I have to be there. Those early mornings are so full of #nope.

 

[FelisLachesis]

Thanks @Keels!

From MK, is it easier to go to BC/YC and walk to Hannah's, or take the monorail to Epcot and walk through that? We have hoppers, so that's not a problem, and we were planning on spending some time in WS after the meetup!

It's definitely easiest to go straight to BC/YC, but it also depends on what you're in the mood to do! Hurricane Hannah's is right outside Stormalong Bay (underneath the shipwreck slide) on the Boardwalk loop ... so it's just right outside the International Gateway, just about a 2-3 minute walk from there.

[BuckeyeBama]

@Keels - Still looking into this - really hoping to meet everyone this year. I am running the half with 3 others (my wife, son and a friend). I am running the full by myself. But we are traveling with a lot of other friends and family, so I have no idea what I can do at this point. For now, I am planning for the pre-race location with 3 others for the half and by myself at the pre-race location for the marathon. I hope to convince the group to also head over to HH for a few drinks on Friday.

I am also going to ask the group about DATW, but most of the group doesn't drink so I have little confidence here.

 

[FFigawi]

@Keels I'm in for HH Marathon Weekend with probably +1. I'm currently not going to be able to make it to DATW but if something changes I'll let you guys know. Really bummed direct flights home leave so early.
