Thanks! I figure it's the same as the 2014 one just shifted a day but glad they put them up finally so I don't have to keep mentally changing the dates.
Yeah, I just compared the "finish upright" one and they are a bit different, too.The Time Improvement one is actually a little different. The 2014 plan started with slightly higher distances on Saturdays. The 2015 plan smooths it out a little, starting with a 3-miler on the first Saturday. Don't have them side by side to say exactly what is different, but I noticed some tweaks.
There was a code in the Active.com confirmation email near the bottom labeled "Password for Theme Park Tickets".
Yeah I think it's specifically just for getting into the ticket purchase website with the discount park tickets and the after party tickets.I called run disney to book. I don't recall them asking for the code.
Uber is also an option instead of a taxi. They're so much more convenient and usually nicer than a typical taxi.
Hooray - password issue resolved! Thank you @Keels!
Now, can we talk about how I am arriving the day after Boys II Men and leaving the morning Hanson plays??
Trying to decide if I want to pay the money to go to MVMCP on the Sunday after the race. I hate paying for the extra tickets on top of the regular tickets plus the party ticket for SO. I guess it's the first night? Is it going to be crazy because it's the first night? I was bummed to discover that it was starting that night... I was hoping to see the parade and fireworks at MK that night since the race would be done. Now we need to either go the night we arrive or on Friday night. I guess since the race is late, I don't really need to get to bed super early on Friday night.
I guess we could get one day less on our park hopper tickets and just sleep in, go to DD, etc and then to the party on Sunday. Was going to get 5 day tickets because we are arriving midday on Thursday and leaving in the evening on Monday.

Ugh, this is annoying. Everything is all out of sync with every race that I have the rest of the summer/fall.
My other option would be to just shift everything up a week and wing it for one of the weeks in between the 14 and the race day. I don't want to taper again for 3 weeks like the beginner Tink plan did. I felt like that was too long... although I also skipped a lot of the weekday runs during the taper due to dealing with health issues with our dog, so that probably also contributed to it feeling too long.
- 7/26 - 5K race - Plan has 5 miles that day. I could do an extra 1.9 after the race.
- 8/20 (a Thursday) - 10K race - Plan has 8 miles on that Saturday two days later. I could swap Thursday and Saturday runs and just do a little extra on the Saturday one to make up some weekly mileage.
- 9/12 - 8K race - Plan has 9.5 miles that day. Doing an extra 4.5 after the race would be harder, it's an evening race (5pm start) in an unfamiliar area. Looks like sunset is at 7:11pm that day, so I could do some extra if not the full 4.5, I guess.
- 10/11 (a Sunday) - 5K race - Plan has 12.5 for Saturday. I'll have to plan a route near the race finish to do the rest of the run.
- 10/24 - 5K race - Plan has 14 that day. I'll have to plan a route near the race finish to do the rest of the run.
I think I'm liking the idea of shifting things rather than trying to plan all these extra distances in less familiar areas to tack onto the end of the races, especially the really long ones. I am really really slow and I like to get those long runs started super early so they don't take half the day, and I can plan them around convenience stores to refill my water bottle (although I'm considering getting a hydration backpack for the summer).
