This! We really enjoyed the party, granted it was 2018 or 2019 when I went. We didn't do many character photos, but ate lots of yummy food, enjoyed general atmosphere scape, and rode a number of rides with short waits. Maybe there used to be more rides open during the party a few years ago? We...

Agreed x 1000 % Thank you @Disneyhanna !

I feel like I should be blasting Taylor Swift in the background. 4 windows, all at still over an hour. Opened one more a few minutes ago just to see, and it looks exactly like the others at over an hour. If anyone has a queue to share, I'd be grateful...

SAFD: Parade I've seen: Main Street Electrical. Parade that has been rained out anytime I could have seen it: Boo to you. And I'm not sure it's ever gonna happen....Maybe if I get into W&D this year and can talk DH into going down early, but that's sure to be a crowded party and makes it a...

Agreed--though mostly as a lurker. I've been on the boards since my first trip to Disney in 2008 and followed the advice of others religiously, even though most of you don't know how much you've influenced my journey. Every race, even the ones that took over 7 hours, I've been ready for. I...

SAFD: I came into RunDisney via the Disney part, not the Run part. I was 48 and 11/12's and thinking about my 50th birthday with some trepidation. We'd been to Disney for birthdays for my spouse and kids before, but never mine (it's early Jan, so usually everyone is in "back to work/school"...

Bumping this one back up with a new entry: Drury Inn in Disney Springs. Stayed here in a two room/two queen room for Dopey 2024. The extra room was really nice to have for two people who aren't family traveling together. We could spread out and not be on top of each other when we both wanted...

Hopefully not controversial. I don't feel like it is important that those around me put on masks just because mine is on. My mask is for me--you do you. I did the same thing--had my KN95 mask handy anytime I was in close proximity to others for extended time. For me, this meant in the corrals...

Packing myself and while I can't answer your real questions, I'm looking at all the delicious leftovers and lovely fruit/veggies that I am sure will greet me when I return as moldy gunk. These people--fast food is all they eat while I am gone, despite all my "you're gonna get scurvy" warnings.

@Herding_Cats Visitor Toll Pass booked! Realized I forgot to say thank you (this is also the day I am forcing my kids to write their thank you notes!)

SAFD: This 👆a thousand times. For anyone who mostly lurks like I do (and have for years) who might be a scared first time marathon runner. Disney was my first marathon, on a milestone birthday (that's how I picked "I'll run a marathon on my birthday") and I was in legitimate danger of getting...

Dopey 270XX with no POT and a 5:30-6:00 estimated finish and expected pace of 10-12 for the 5 and 10K. @DopeyBadger ETA--my bib number is one digit away from someone else with the same charity, not sure if we submitted the same/similar info or not, but I think that's interesting.

Thank you so much for posting this. Ran a short fast(ish) run yesterday and everything hurt, even parts that hadn't been achy before. I was hungry, I was tired, I was gasping for breath even with a low HR zone, I was whiny.... So pledged! I will do the warm up I know I need, take pictures while...

Great idea...heads off to Amazon... I also have an overpriced rain jacket I love. I will bring it with me to ensure that there is no rain. I wear it when it's in the 40's and raining (over 50 and I don't wear a rainjacket, under 40 and I just won't run--I'm a klutz and don't need that degree of...

I've never gotten to the chocolate stop when there was still chocolate left, so I am unqualified to assess it....but I think I'd agree with you.

Well, I find that it is still sweet, just not strong tasting of some weird flavor. I'm not a huge fan of Tailwind, so I've gone on to other things (LiquidIV + Huma gels and Gu chews, PB&J, etc.

I did not know this! Even better and I'm so excited to have this decided. Thank you so much!

Thanks for all the input--I read each reply carefully and then thought through all the details. Decision made and I thought I'd share it here in case any other mostly lurker would find it helpful. We're going to stay at the Drury the whole race time, then move to the Contemporary for our two...

ohhh--if I tried your split strategy, then I could maybe do something swanky for the last two days....off to research...

this is a great strategy! I'm adopting it right now, with a focus on the 15 minute one...I get anxious about being late and I like to be on the first bus.... Good advice and thanks for the reassurance about driving.
