You guys and gals are seriously the best! My fear has definitely dissipated since this original post. I have read a lot and worked a lot on becoming an informed newbie. To update: 1. I've submitted a sub-58 minute 10K for POT. 2. I have a half marathon next month to train for this Disney half...

FYI, I finally got a response on my 7 mile race from the timing people at Disney and was told that they would NOT extrapolate it and the time would be registered as my time for a 10k. I kind of figured that, but it means I now need to really run on something else.

This may be a super-specific question on corral placement, or just proof of my newbie-ness! I went ahead and ran a practice chip-timed (and very hilly) race this weekend to practice for my later one on the docket that I was planning on submitting for proof. I finished top-20 and a really...

Excited to run my first half here! Newbie question...what ya wearin'? I know there's a ton of time, but I'm already stocking up on my potentially outfits for running. I want comfort and breathability but also Disney-theme. There's 2 of us running so wanna do a pair of characters and also...

Thanks again! I currently train on a massive hill by my home (from sea level to 300' and I choose the straight up instead of switchbacks), so some hill doesn't intimidate me, but lots of late ones would definitely challenge my endurance. I will shoot for a local one too and get this distance...

I just want to thank everyone who took time to answer my dumb questions. I am bringing my daughter with me so we both need to clock a 10k, but now I'm thinking I can get us a summer one that will give us a higher place. I was worried about the lines for characters and now think I might just...

I am a newbie to running and taking the plunge of a half with Disney based on my love of all things Disney, but have some dumb newbie questions. 1. I'm new so don't have a race time to submit. Do I have to? 2. I'm slow but not the slowest. If I am in the back corral with my lack of a chipped...

I'm a new runner and never have done a half before, but signed up for Wine and Dine with dd. So excited and scared at the same time!

You will not be far from the Disney Store when you arrive in Tokyo so I would go there. It has different merchandise than the parks and the US stores so worth a visit as well. ENJOY!

Back one week now from Tokyo and think I have finally adjusted to the time zone difference, LOL. We visited both parks in 2 back to back days in the August heat. I would not recommend ever doing that just for the sheer exhaustion. On our second day (DisneySea), they were making park-wide...

For me it is basically any of the cart food....from stale popcorn to crappy churros (but I'll take a Mickey bar any day).

Oh....online is a good option and probably going to be the place to get things clearance priced! THANKS for the idea!

It is one of the walkable ones as it's across the street, but I have never stayed there. It's an older location, and might have some noise issues, but, truthfully, you are going to spend very little time in your room. I figure it's a place to crash and as long as reviews don't say horrible...

I know we are still in the 60th celebration, but wondering if recent visitors might have noticed if any of the 60th merch is starting to go on sale yet at the park. When I've been to the park on other anniversaries, it seems that they start discounting the stuff to get it off the shelves early...

Thank you! So it looks like she may have to wait until the end of her college experience to apply to DCP and I'm not sure how that will work for her. I am wondering if the "not yet graduated from high school" piece is going to be a problem for her since she will never graduate from high...

Thanks to those here answering questions! Not sure if this has been asked, so here goes..... My DD has dreamed of doing DCP since she learned about it when she was much younger. Does anyone know minimum ages, though for DCP? She is headed to college this fall, but is on an early entry and...

The tram was too packed in the morning going into the park from the parking lot...we shuffled over but the family of 4 was not going to fit in the same row as us. My sweet retired and innocent dad looked at them and said to the young boy, "you can sit in my lap" (to make room for the boy's...

Wow! Thanks to all the experts here. I did not expect such a vivid discussion of this issue, but it seems to have taken on a lively chat here. My question really revolved around the ability of Disney to access me as I did not realize I had a long range RFID in the band. I totally realize...

I recommend going to Cherry Tree Lane in Downtown Disney which is next to the Guest Relations spot. It is in the boutique area at the back. This is a PURSE only store so it has all the selections as well as the Veras and and non-Dooney bags. I found a great Mary Poppins print non-Dooney bag...

I just got back from a marvelous trip....hot, humid and full of fun rides. One thing is bothering me to no end however. We did not stay on site, but I did get Magic Bands to help our crew get through admissions, fast passes, etc faster. We all wore them with no thought to it. On the last...
