    How to avoid the waiting before a race -lyft Uber, Minnie van?

    Several years ago I had some friends who stayed at OKW and walked to the start corrals. I stayed at SSR, walked from there and met them. It seems lots of people would walk from OKW. The following year in the info book was a statement saying that you were no longer allowed to walk, and the...

    RunDisney Swag Perks

    have always felt that the stuff you get compared to the cost is not that great. Someone mentioned the shirt quality, for the most part it's pretty good, but the Everest shirt I got was not so great with a real huge, what appeared to be iro-on that seemed pretty stiff. The medals are very nice...

    Singles/Solos/Adults F&W 2014 Annual Meet Poll

    I am overdue for an October trip. Last time was for the W&D Half, but I have not done that since they moved it to November. Looks like I will be missing all the fall races, but have a res for BW for the marathon weekend in January.

    2014 Marathon Weekend "Where are you staying?" thread!

    Leaving tomorrow for BW! I just returned from a work trip to Chicago and experienced those temps! It felt warm walking out of terminal in NY to a balmy 10 degrees! Kind of disappointed they are not allowing the walking this year. Hope the busses on time this year!

    Happy Belated New Year! Heading down to WDW tomorrow for the Marathon. Looks like nice temps for runing, it is low teens here right now, but just returned from a work trip near Chicago where it was well below zero for several days. Getting off the plane in NYC with it being 10 degrees felt warm!

    Donald's Defiant Dashers 2013

    Hello Ducks, Less than two months now, hope everyone's training is going well. As usual, mine is sort of slow. Sometimes it is too cold to go out and run. Yet I am still biking. Did a 5K yesterday, time was a 22:50. Plan on doing a turkey trot somewhere next week. This Saturday I am...

    The Alchemist (brewer of Heady Topper) has a tasting room perhaps twice the size of a DVC studio. Picture it full of 50 people in an orderly line (with the line extending out the door) on canning days, with most walking out with the two-case limit. A lot of out-of-towners returning from skiing...

    Epcot start/finish lines - walk from OKW??

    Some good points, Coach! I did sort of think Bonnet was the better way to go. And there probably would be more traffic on Buena Vista, but I do not mind walking on grass. I imagine security will be a little higher this year.

    Epcot start/finish lines - walk from OKW??

    I would walk on Buena Vista right up to either Epcot Center Drive or Bonnett Creek. It is about 2 miles. It was a little shorter from SSR. There is a sidewalk part of the way. There is not that much taffic then, so I am not too concerned. The year of the bus mishap I also was a volunteer...

    Epcot start/finish lines - walk from OKW??

    Two years ago I stayed at BW and had a very bad bus experience. As I walked to the bus stop I saw a bus leave. And that was the last bus for a real long time. Perhaps over an hour. Then several buses showed up at once, and I was fortunate to get on a read DW bus, not the rented coaches. But...

    Donald's Defiant Dashers 2013

    Hello Ducks, once again have not been on here much. I do see a lot of posts on fb from Liz and Joe, i will have to sign up for the runDisney group. Have been pretty busy, but did a half last weekend, and surprisingly, (as I have not been doing that much running) did really well. All of my Dis...

    Congrats to DC and Rachel! Great pics. Been way to busy to get on here much. Have been doing some work traveling, to Switzerland and Chicago. For the beer enthusiasts, I found a real nice brewery right near where I was working, called Two Brothers. They had one beer called Hopcentric...

    Been a long time since I have logged on. And a long time since I have been down to DW. Well, maybe not that long (last January) but longer than my usual three trips a year. Anyway, heading down in January for the Marathon, but was wondering the status of the new mine Car ride. Is it open...

    Donald's Defiant Dashers 2013

    Hello Duckies, I thought I had been negligent in going on the disboards, but when I came here this thread was on the second page. So I know I am not alone in being away. Though I have been following many of your's exploits on fb. (so join up, Tanya...) I have been pretty busy work-wise, but...

    Donald's Defiant Dashers 2013

    Hello Ducks! I had two races this past weekend, both 5K's, and both off road, one in a park, the other around the perimeter of a vineyard. Sunday's was in a light rain, but I ran it almost a minute faster than Saturday. Probably due to less sand. Have a great DW trip, Phil! I am signed...
