    Sturgis Motorcycle Rally...HUGE Crowds expected

    Yes, back on topic and stick to the facts not speculation and condemnation, that would be refreshing.

    Sturgis Motorcycle Rally...HUGE Crowds expected

    I guess you missed this message from the protest organizers and the signs they hold up. Looks like they are saying it is okay to me. “A Black Lives Matter Chicago organizer said Monday that the mobs who vandalized and looted downtown businesses the night before did nothing wrong, calling it...

    BLM teaches kids racism

    I understand that many people believe Black Lives Matter is just a statement and by saying it, they are supporting injustice and the fight against racism. I doubt many of the people that say they support BLM actually know what they stand for from their own web site. Read it, understand the...

    Official Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend 2020

    I base this on the steps they are taking already, the fact that Food & Wine should start at the end of August however things are being cancelled during that time, the reservation system will still be in play almost certainly, Swan and Dolphin event is cancelled for November, limited race bibs...

    Official Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend 2020

    I know it hasn’t been officially announced, but Food & Wine is supposed to start this year in late August and I really don’t see any way they will continue with plans. The Swan and Dolphin being cancelled is just a hint that they are thinking November will still be an issue which is the end of...

    Marathon Weekend 2021

    Spacing in corals is one thing, but there is no way to guarantee spacing on the course. Too many people with different paces, tight places, its just not possible to have a race of any size at Disney that still makes financial sense and keep any kind of distance throughout the race. The marathon...

    You had to know it was going to happen. I am happy they are making it clean and just refunding the money too.

    Official 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend - CANCELED

    I know there are some here hoping beyond hope that this race will go as planned. There is just no way that is going to happen. Disney will not be open for some time as evidenced by the closures, guidance from the government on gathering sizes, etc. So they haven’t announced it yet, that is not...

    Official 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend - CANCELED

    I don’t know in what universe they hold this race, so I would plan as if it was already cancelled. I wouldn’t try to plan anything in the near future either as things are still too uncertain. I am still kind of shocked at how many here still think there is a hope even though they haven’t...

    Summer time attendance spike?

    I agree. The financial impact of this has not been felt yet and until that reality is realized it is hard to say how busy the parks will be. Not saying this will be as bad or even close to 2008, but afterwards, the parks were virtually empty for a couple of years. It really all depends on how...

    US STOPPING ALL FLIGHTS INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM EUROPE FOR 30 DAYS.

    No Great Britain is an island and not part of the continent of Europe. I am not saying people don’t include it, but it technically is not part of it.

    US STOPPING ALL FLIGHTS INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM EUROPE FOR 30 DAYS.

    Europe is a continent, USA and European Union are quite a bit different. Alaska IS part of North America BTW.. Mixing apples and oranges here.. Geographic vs Governmental. My response was someone saying that they may not be in the European Union but still part of Europe and that is incorrect...

    US STOPPING ALL FLIGHTS INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM EUROPE FOR 30 DAYS.

    Not really part of Europe technically.. The most common definition of continental Europe excludes continental islands, encompassing the Greek Islands, Cyprus, Malta, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, the Balearic Islands, Great Britain and Ireland and surrounding islands, Novaya Zemlya and the Nordic...

    Official 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend - CANCELED

    It will all come down to liability and how much Disney is willing accept while keeping the parks open. Insurance for events I am sure is going to be harder to get, but Disney isn’t exactly an event. runDisney events are though and they would also fall under any guidelines for gatherings of...

    Official Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend 2020

    You were misinformed. I have the platinum club rundisney and there was no benefit for this race registration. Had to use the AP/DVC early registration or general registration like everyone else.

    Official 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend - CANCELED

    Those can’t be accurate as they are dated 2018 (10k one at least) and also the Epcot still shows the fountain and has you running places that would be impossible right now.

    Official 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend - CANCELED

    So we have a DVC room booked on points and we are getting close to our 30 day window that we need to decide for sure what we are doing. I keep thinking it will be okay and honestly I am not concerned about me being to fight it off but I would hate to get it and spread it to others. I bet just...

    Official Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend 2020

    So much for iOS and registering.. the state selection for the credit card didn't work on the iPhone.. and the credit card "Pay" button won't do anything on the iPad.. Really? Stupid waste of time with their web site.

    Club runDisney

    You really should read what I posted about the comparison with Club 33 and Club runDisney, it was not an apples to apples comparison but only another EXAMPLE of people paying a lot of money for a Disney product that may have value to some but not to all. It was not a direct comparison and was...

    Treadmill runners, click here

    We purchased the LifeFitness club series with the large Discovery screen. It is very well built, solid to run on, and comfortable. We previously had a Nordic Track and were not happy with it, because it was not as comfortable to run on and just not as well built. A second choice for me would...
