WAIVERS!!!!

About freakin' time rD! Thank you @Panikim!

Does anyone know how the corrals are for the 5K?

You will get 5k corral info when you get your bib. They do not release 5k corral info like they do the 1ok and half.

I think they took the waivers down. It says website not found on both my phone and computer.... Or is it just me?

Me too, probably because someone realized they had the wrong dates!

 

[Keels]

I'll take the blame for that, though based on the response I got from TrackShack, I highly doubt I'm the only one having problems.

 

[IrishMel21]

I'm trying to make my FP+s and pretty much EVERYTHING is available - but nothing is really speaking to me!

So - two questions to pass the time until we get official race related news from rD:

1. What FP+s are you MOST excited about?
2. What ADRs did you make?

We have FP+ for Test Track, Epcot Character Pals, Spaceship Earth & then Peter Pan, Buzz Lightyear, & Cinderella
For ADRs, I made Shutters, Rose & Crown, Via Napoli, 1900 Park Fare, BOG, The Plaza. We'll be in MK on my birthday (day of the half) so I wanted to make sure to see Cinderella and celebrate fully!

Hopefully they fix it quick!

I noticed last years dates too. I printed them out (with last years dates) but now the link won't work for me. Cest La Vie!

I printed mine too. I guess I'll have to print them again if they fix the date!

 

[Anisum]

I totally missed the opportunity to print them. Guess I'll wait until they fix it.

I'm doing the party with my cousin and his wife on Thursday night! I'm not in to Star Wars, but the fireworks are PRETTY AWESOME.

We're doing the Thursday night dessert party, too. This is perfect for our three boys - two teens and a little one - all Star Wars fans. Very excited about this!

I've been having some shin pain lately so I'm thinking about getting some compression sleeves. Anyone have any suggestions?

I kept meaning to comment on this: I wear mostly Pro Compression. I size up for their sleeves, but where a S/M for their socks. Lately though, their socks are starting to run small (not my calves- I measured. lol) so I may have to go up a size in them too. They're great on my feet/legs but that top band is just a hair too tight for long wear.

Wow, nice. I'm not the biggest AKL fan, but I do like a Club level.

I'm not an AKVillas fan either, but I've been wanting to try the Club level since we've been DVC owners. It's a one and done curiosity. Or maybe I'll love it. Who knows?

Thursday at 4pm. I think I can go to TS that day. I'll be staying at home (BLT) so I can just stumble onto the monorail and go home after if we all find out we're thirsty and dehydrated

I have never been to Hollywood Studios before, so I'm very excited about our FP+ for Tower of Terror. (I really want to try Rockin' Roller Coaster but we don't have a FP for that one.) And I've never been on the Seven Dwarves Mine Train- I think we have at least 2 FP+ for that, possibly 3-someone in the group must really like it! At AK, I've never done the safari before, and we have a FP+ that and for Expedition Everest, which I love. Oddly, Sunday is EPCOT day and we don't have any FP+ , I think because we weren't sure how everyone was going to be feeling. I'm OK with that, the only thing I would have wanted one for at EPCOT is Soarin, and Soarin is closed.

ADR: Teppen Edo, Cinderella's Royal Table, Sanaa, Garden Grill <- where I will eat EVERYTHING.

Tower of Terror is probably a better choice to fast pass because if you don't want to stand in line for a while you can do single rider on Rockin' Roller Coaster

Good to know. We're also a group with mixed ages- we have my best friend's daughter (7), her mother, grandmother, aunt, cousin... So some of our FP's are for rides/attractions that are more kid/grandma friendly (something called Frozen Forever? Barnstormer (which I actually really like-much comfier a ride than Space Mountain), Little Mermaid, etc). But we've already discussed splitting up for some things (I love the Haunted Mansion but it's too dark and scary for the lil'bit- so the cousin and I were planning on slipping away to ride it). Maybe we can get a similar arrangement to go single-rider on RNR.

Printed the waivers, had all my info right, but wrong dates...same problem as everyone else...weird.

Hmmm. When did you print them? The link was taken down not long after a majority of us printed and noticed the dates as well. Just asking as I noticed your post was only a few minutes ago?

 

[lovingeire]

I pulled my GSC one up this morning before taking my kids to school, but not my 5K. Had to reconnect my printer due to stupid AT&T internet and printed the GSC, then went to print the 5K and it wouldn't pull up. Then I noticed the wrong date. Oh well, at this point it seems like we've been waiting forever, what's a little longer?

And runDisney just now tweets about the Event Guide being out.

Hahaha! Are we sure they are not a government agency? They seem to be about as organized this year.
