    The Everything Victoria & Albert's Thread

    Glad to see the new thread. At the end of the old, we were discussing Chef's Table reservations. Thought I'd share my experience. I have a split stay: 1 night, followed by 3 nights. At the 180 day mark for my first stay, I attempted to book Chef's table right at 6am EDT online and it was...

    The Everything Victoria & Albert's Thread

    That's one of the nights of our trip. Was it the only night open when you got it? Did you book online or call? Also, do you think you will be the only party, or will they have room for 2 more? I'm not sure how it all works, but I am really, really hoping we can get it. I can't try until...

    The Everything Victoria & Albert's Thread

    Thank you so much for the info. I'm gonna try all the different strategies. TA suggested getting online at 5am and being ready with the ADR screen open, date selected, etc., then hit "enter" starting a couple of minutes before 6am (my time - Central - 7am Eastern). If I can't get the...

    Did you call at 9am Eastern time? Do you know whether online reservations for CT are available? And, you mentioned they had availability for 6 of your 7 nights - did these include Wednesdays or Fridays? I had read that these two nights are not available for reservations. We only have 4...

    PHM15: A Frozen Cupcake Celebration & Carnage as No Cupcake is Left Behind

    Congrats on that Estes Half! We visited in May during Katie's grad weekend and it was SNOWING! You have inspired me to add intervals back in. I might try 3/.5 or something like that on my next run.

    this has been such a fun TR to read and follow. I'm sorry the race didn't go just as you wanted, but it sounds like it was overall a great trip, and from your current racing, I can tell it didn't deter you from halfs. :)

    We loved Narcoossees on our TOT trip for our "night before the race" dinner. Looks like we sat at the same table you sat at. And our server was amazing, reminding us to go outside to watch fireworks. It was raining that night, but it surely didn't dampen (pun intended - haha) our experience...

    The Lake Powell race is actually mostly downhill, so a runner-friendly race. It is part of a National Parks series of annual runs. Some try to do them all. Very intriguing to me. http://www.vacationraces.com/ We are going back on Allure of the Seas to the Eastern Caribbean. This time we...

Masquerade Half -...

    PHM15: A Frozen Cupcake Celebration & Carnage as No Cupcake is Left Behind

    Oh that is good info! We may do the same. Will have to wait and see. We are trying to decide between DLH and Avengers, but will probably do DLH, because we want to be able to enjoy the W&D part of W&D instead of continuing our training and jumping coasts the next week (if the calendar looks...

    I will very likely be there. We are planning to do 2016 W&D as half of our Coast to Coast Challenge. That is, if we can get registered before it sells out. Have they officially announced 2016 W&D? I heard rumors it may be canceled.

    I just love how y'all will go to almost any lengths for a cupcake! All forms of transportation, and even gulping down a frosty beverage!

    Tammie - congrats on the Garmin. Now we should connect. I am not impressed with Garmin's social media connections, so I have no idea how to connect with you. But let me know if you figure it out. Sounds like your body is telling you to rest, so rest it out. Walk when you can. Walking can...

    Tammie - congrats on finishing that Dallas RnR half. I didn't have the info (or the time - dang Uncle Sam!) to follow you, but I did see your initial post and Amy's updates. I'm sorry it didn't go as you would have liked but you finished and you PR'd!! That's awesome and amazing! We need a...

    Good to see you here. You and your family are so busy! Sounds alot like mine. I don't see any runDisney events for us in 2015, but we are planning to go for the Coast to Coast in 2016. Probably DLH and Wine & Dine. We think we'd rather do that than W&D and Avengers, because we want to run...

    Good luck on your half Tammie! I did my first one Dec 20 and it was do-able. Just be sure to have a way to warm up at the end - my core cooled very quickly. And make sure you are getting enough electrolytes. I fueled with plenty of Honey Stingers, but only had water on the course, which...
