    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    We’re part-time locals and drove to the half in 2016 - my oldest son and I were on our own so we arrived ridiculously early, parked with no issues and were fine waiting in the corral. I was similarly hesitant to rely on any other mode of transportation. Given several unique circumstances...

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    In our experience last weekend, there were so many mobile orders that we had to wait in line to pick up our mobile orders. We noticed fewer registers and more lanes dedicated to mobile order pickup. At one place in particular, there was only one register left. The CM promised us mobile order...

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    I do too - this was great and the app worked! My husband needed to work from the resort on Friday and he appreciated the "to go" from Ale and Compass. I should add an extra note re mobile order. We've used it from the start too and really loved it in the past. Disney is definitely promoting...

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    Yes! Under the Genie section of the app, you can choose either My Day or Tip Board. Under Tip Board, you can choose either experiences or dining. I chose dining and got a list of restaurants - some have mobile order windows listed, some have actual ADR availability and some have wait list...

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    Entirely agree - absolutely fantastic! SAFD: Celebrating @mateojr's first half marathon at his go-to celebration restaurant - Narcoossees! We were distracted by Wine and Dine last weekend, but as soon as I finished the half I worked on marathon weekend ADRs and was able to get this one and a...

    Wine & Dine 1/2 marathon weekend 2021

    Agree with all the positive comments regarding this very amazing race weekend! All very well organized as usual and the courses were fantastic. Ran the 10k with my youngest son, @mateojr. He now has a new 10K PR and was in the best running spirits ever! It was definitely his best race of all...

    Wine & Dine 1/2 marathon weekend 2021

    @DopeyBadger, I submitted a 1:57 POT and my challenge bib is 203XX. Estimated sub-2:00 finish and hope it's accurate after nearly two years of maintenance running without in-person races. I followed your training plan - the one that got me to 1:49 three years ago - but I'd just like to finish...

    Wine & Dine 1/2 marathon weekend 2021

    So excited about the 10K and half marathon courses!! Have been running marathon weekend and princess courses for years, and this half marathon course may end up as my favorite.

    To Infinity and Beyond - Becoming a Better DopeyBadger (Comments Welcome)

    Understanding the life lesson you needed to share with G, gotta say I smiled a little at her comment. :) Did you figure out the disconnect on the treadmill? P.S. 5 weeks into your 2018 Goofy Training Plan to prep for my Wine and Dine Half. Not expecting the PR that produced last time (I'm...

    Wine & Dine 1/2 marathon weekend 2021

    I've tried to make early ADRs and get to bed early before races, but it never works - can't get to sleep and we weren't hungry at dinner. So I'm sticking to regular patterns - dinner around 7:30pm and hope to get to sleep around 10pm. I also tried for years to eat bagels and a banana before...

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    SAFD Park: Epcot! I love Disney but don't particularly love amusement parks, so it's always been a favorite. DHS is probably in second place because I really like ToT and @mateojr's reaction to Mickey and Minnie's Railroad makes me so very happy. My @DopeyBadger training plan resulted in a...

    To Infinity and Beyond - Becoming a Better DopeyBadger (Comments Welcome)

    So maybe a little warm for the Brew City 10K on September 5? :) If this weather continues, we'll be waiting until the Pumpkin Run 10K. @mateojr and I ran 3 miles the other day in 90 degree heat with 90% humidity and it wasn't our favorite. Sorry about the conflicts with Badger games and the...

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    I saw that on Friday and I think it was available for at least an hour. I sent my husband a text at 10:30am letting him know all categories were open and then another at 1pm letting him know the 5K, 10K and half were sold out again. SAFD: We've stayed at a lot of different resorts and like...

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    @ZellyB, adding our experience to the fantastic spectator planning guide @DopeyBadger provided! The day before I ran the marathon in 2015, my husband our two older boys ran the half. We stayed at Poly and @mateojr and I saw our runners at TTC, grabbed a quick breakfast at the resort and saw...

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    SAFD: I just love reading these goals!! I love @SheHulk noting, "I can torture myself much more inexpensively at a local race!" I completely relate to that, along with so many other fun and happy aspirations for January! My goals, as of today: 1. Help @mateojr across the half marathon...

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    We always wait for SW - nonstop flights, reasonable prices and I can use my companion pass. Entirely agree based on our travel to other locations recently - too many flight changes after booking, so I end up starting from scratch.
