Interesting question. While I've used Uber before it has never been over a race weekend so not sure. Hopefully someone with experience with both will chime in. Most of the times I've been thinking of using them have been outside of the race times. I'll research a little if someone else doesn't...

Apologies to the people who likely already shared about Uber in this incredibly useful (but long) thread. Several questions about catching buses, etc. Don't forget about Uber. If you haven't used it yet download the ap and then you can typically get a really cheap first ride. It is also cheap...

Getting excited with taper underway (just avoiding gaining those Christmas pounds...) Name: Lars Disbds: AladdinToMy4YO (although my 4YO just turned 18 yesterday...) Race: marathon Corral: H Expecting: pace around 12 using Galloway method. Probably get start area early. Buddy and I fly in...

Running buddy and I looking forward to Dis Marathon weekend of 1/7/17. Now just pondering whether to take the family and make it a vacation. New Years Eve is on Saturday with the marathon the following weekend. I know Dis is crazy, off the charts busy between Christmas and NY so avoiding that...

Off to Orlando for a conference this summer and get to sneak over to the MK for 2 days ahead of time. I bought theme park tickets and rec'd the ticket card in the mail. Later I booked a Dis resort with the summer discount code. I'm not sure if the two are "linked" so I can get fp+ 60 days out. I...

Just curious - my father-in-law and DD are flying in Friday 10:45am to Orlando Int'l. I want to get them to Hollywood Studios as fast as possible. The flight can sometimes get in as early as 10:30 and they won't have bags. I've never taken a cab from Orl Int'l. I'm curious if anyone can...

Just when I thought I had literally turned over every stone in planning (which energizes me but leaves a blank stare on my DW's face) - I noticed on wdwmagic that the "Epcot beam" will run from 3am to 1pm and then 7pm to close. typo? One reason I booked the Poly was for the convenience of family...

I know you said not crowded and see you from a way off but thought I'd just throw in what I did to watch a buddy in the 2013 marathon. I know it is more crowded but was so fun to be with a group of people cheering everyone on. We watched on the Canada side of the UK where you first enter Epcot...

I'm also a big fan of using a spibelt. It holds either my older smaller cell phone or a nice little point and shoot camera. Not much "bounce" at all - nice snug but not uncomfy fit. Hope you have pockets in shorts for other things. Good to have just the phone/camera so nothing else falls out...

Taking my DW down to Disney for her first road race having just started run/walking earlier this year. We are celebrating milestone b-days together. I'll do half with her and then complete the Goofy Sunday. Fairly good training although, since she is a teacher, so she gets little crud here and...

I'm trying to remember back to when I did the 2013 half but not sure... Our daughter and my father-in-law will be at either TTC or Main Street to cheer my DW (her first road race - yay!) and I. They will then "race" back to around the Poly to watch us go by. I know there is the fence and road...

We love those parades but also agree it can be hot. A couple of us in our group finds a nice curb spot hopefully in the shade sitting in front of one of the open doorways that blasts the AC out. A nice little "breeze" while waiting... Good excuse for an ice cream break too. Rest of the family...

Just a shout out to my fellow runners (especially run walkers). I ran my first half at Dis in January 2013. Getting ready for an extra special Jan 2015 for my second long run (and third). My beautiful wife started training four months ago with me for her very 1st run ever. She had only walked...

Our family of 4 including teen and tween loved doing the kitchen sink on a toasty June day. Just plan it as part of some boardwalk time. Stop by and leave your name just like a restaurant. It took us 20 minutes wait time in early June to get a table. Loads of fun watching them make it and then...

:cool1: Was also able to just call in and let them know I had Disney Visa and the magical agent helped me with room only discount. One night at Pop and then 3 nights at Poly (yes, I know about ongoing construction) for Marathon weekend.

If anyone ever wants to get some additional insight into seating on diffferent planes I would highly recommend checking out seatguru.com It gives ideas from everything from leg room, proximities to lavatory, galleys, extra leg room near exits (on bigger plans) BUT people will come down their...

As a guy who used to do the coasters but then middle age made things a little more queasy... if it is the queasiness then you might read up on possible remedies (of course checking with your pharmacist or doc). I took both a half tablet of Bonine and put on Seabands and had a wonderful time on...

My family and I had a magical stay at the Poly 10 years ago - discount code and "garden view" room in Tokelau that actually had side view of the lagoon (panoramic photo off the deck was on tikiman's page for longest time). My DW has started to run/walk so she can do the half marathon with me in...

Long-time Disneyworld travelers considering adventure west to Disney. We've been before so this would be a 3 day Dis + some other SoCal adventures. We could go first week in June weekdays (avoiding most Grad night days) but deal with APs not being blocked or wait to go later in June (avoiding...

You might also look into Sea Bands. My tummy gets a little queasy on big-time roller coasters. I'm not sure if it was the Sea Band I wore and/or the 1/2 Bonine pill (which would be 1/4 strength dramamine) I took last fall but I wasn't bothered at all by a big coaster that twisted and turned...
