    OFFICIAL 2014 WDW Marathon Countdown: WE DID IT! Congrats everyone!

    I am just catching up on this tread, so forgive me if this has been stated. After my last few long runs, anything over 15 miles, I have come home and taken an ice cold bath. OH MY GOSH...it was great, well after not during-but after. In fact, after my last run I came in from 35 degrees and...

    We are running the half on Sunday and have decided to do the 5K for fun. We are just walking it and taking in the views. I know the race starts at 6:30, and this is a much smaller race than the half, so are there corals? Also, what time should we get on the bus? (We are at the WL.) Thanks...

    Official inaugural Tower of Terror 10 miler thread. September 29, 2012

    For those not staying at a host resort, how would this work? Epcot is open until 10pm, so what about taking a bus from non-host resort to Epcot. Then walking through Epcot to the Studios? Is that expending too much energy? Or taking the boats if they are still running. If this seems like...

    Official inaugural Tower of Terror 10 miler thread. September 29, 2012

    Is arriving at MCO on Friday at 8:50pm too late? I will be running with my (almost) 14 year old daughter. My husband would rather her not miss school on Friday since she will be missing Monday. I just hate not having any wiggle room. Thanks for your help.

    Best resorts for running??

    I just got back from Saratoga Springs. It is a fantastic resort for a jog. My runs changed everyday, but I absolutely loved running from the resort through Downtown Disney/Pleasure Island/West Side and back. The loop started just before the bridge between The Springs and Congress Park. I...

    How much should we tip housekeeping?

    Be sure to leave a note for Mousekeeping letting them know the money is for them. In a rush one day, I left tip money on one of the beds. When I got back, the room was made up and the money was left on the dresser. The next day I left a note and the money was taken.

    Grocery delivery to WDW that won't break the bank?

    I just got off the phone with Amy,the new owner. Wegoshop only charges what they pay. You actually get the receipt. Along with paying for your groceries, you pay a service charge based on your total bill. Most important, they do not increase the price of items!
