I did! So excited that I got in, especially as part of my first marathon. Can't wait to get down there. Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

So excited! After reading all these posts, it's finally my turn. Just checked us in for our Marathon Weekend trip! I was hoping to submit a few requests but it only seemed to allow me to request a crib. Weird. No worries, I'll try to submit those in my fax. Thanks for everyone's advice...

I think there are good things about both options and it comes down to preferences. I like ME because I can sit back and relax. The welcome video gets you feeling the Disney love. On the busses to the park, you have more mindless time or time to wind up or down. Or you are reminded that, while...

I did TM Arizona last year about about a month before my first half (Disney Princess). The half was way easier than TM and since I realized I would be able to finish, I took my time and had a lot of fun at the half. Plus the recovery was easier. I had bruises all over for over a week after TM...

I'm also at POR...maybe a few of us would want to walk to the start together? Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

Modified our reservation again and added the dining package. For only $200/person, we couldn't pass it up. Just the ADRs at Cinderella's Table and BOG would have been almost half that if we paid OOP like we had originally planned. Can't wait! Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

Just heard from our TA that she got us a room only discount for our trip in January (VISA). And since there were no standard rooms available, we got bumped to a River view. If anyone has the Disney VISA and is staying between Jan - April, check for a discount! Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

We got a $172 discount for POR. Not too bad. Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

I bought mine at Road Runner Sports. Love that store! Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

Another recovery must do for me is to foam roll. I have a 12 inch one I pack for races and will roll my calves, IT band, hip flexors, and of course my glutes twice a day. Cheaper and quicker than a massage and I can pinpoint knots. I despise ice baths but in January, a quick swim in one of the...

My secret is that I'm super jealous of the folks who walk around MK with the different Ears hats. Never had the guts to do it even when I was little. Finally bought some sequined Minnie ears at DL for my mom and me to wear during Marathon Weekend in January. Thinking my hobbling around after the...

Staying on the toenail topic: Other suggestions or remedies? I have bigger shoes, special socks and now I'm running with toe caps because any run over 5 miles results in blisters under my second toenail. Even then, I get blisters. I have lost count of how many times I've lost them. Never really...

Fox Rentals and I went with the cheapest car available. I'll probably only use it a few times, including heading to the store to get water and supplies so I figure a little car won't matter. Hope you can find a cheaper option! Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

So excited today, I just had to share! Booked my flight for the marathon and if I extended my trip a day, I could use my SW points. (Only had enough points for one-way if i flew in on my original day.) Total cost for my flight was $7.50. But if I add an extra day to my package at POR, it's...

I like Cytomax and NUUN. Cytomax is a powder and the berry flavor is pretty good. NUUN is a tablet and they have tons of flavors to choose from. I love the grape flavor. Both can usually be found in a Vitamin Shoppe or your local running shop. Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

First timer here, thanks for all the advice! I've been waiting to reserve two picnic lunches to get reserved seating to WOC for September 1 but that date still isn't available online. Talked to a CM yesterday and she just said it should open up soon. Anyone else have this experience? Sent from...

I haven't been there during Labor Daybefore but I will this year because it's the DL Half Marathon weekend. I imagine that 15K+ runners and their fans will add to the crowds considerably...but I could be totally wrong. Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

Getting to go IN the castle has always been on my list. Can't wait to eat there in January for the first time! Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

Did this in February with my nephews (4 and 6) and it was a highlight of the trip. They still talk about it and the pics of all of us wearing our pirate bandanas is great. Well worth the price. Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

We bought Disney story books for a couple of bucks at Target before our last trip with my nephews. At Chef Mickey's, we had the characters sign the books. Months later, they love reading the books, seeing the autographs and reliving the experience. Sent from my iPad using DISBoards
