When did the half fill?
Do you not get a chip? You have to buy one?
And I'm correct in that we don't have to send in pace times from another race at registration? It can be done later? Even if I'm slow is it better to send it in rather than be corralled in the very back?
The Half filled in May or June. Before the Full this year.
I expected the Full to sell out for 2008's race with the anniversary medal.
You get a chip for the race at packet (bib) pick up and upon crossing the finish line there will be people who will cut it off for you, they give you a little plastic tie to keep it on your shoe. They are great. They had a crate to balance your foot on and I know this past year there was someone wonderful (volunteer) who let me place a hand on their shoulder to balance or I would have fallen over LOL I don't recall in my other 2 finishs but they are really great about working with tired finishers
They have had special chips you can purchase. Here is a link to the 2008 chip...

Disneyland too and Goofy has had a special one of it's own for the last 2 years).
quoting from the 2007 registration form (had it at hand, should be in my scrapbook LOL) ....
"proof required since July 1, 2004 for sub:500 marathon or sub-2:15 half marathon. (next was an address to mail it to) If no proof is provided you will be placed in the last Start corral"
now that date they list might have changed for the 2008 and 2009 but I don't have my 2008 papers handy. but it gives you an idea of the wording.
I think the back corrals are the luck of the draw.
The really nice thing that makes those corrals a little less scary. This group. Regardless of which corral you find yourself in you will probably find another WISH member standing next to. Try not to worry too much over the corrals, though I know it's hard not to
Happy training!!!! Remember the Castle awaits and the corrals will be a long long way behind you by then
We have had others who stay at the Epcot resorts and I seem to recall that if you want to walk back AFTER finishing you will need your park pass. They should have buses from those resorts because the park is completely closed at that hour plus they will be setting up for the race (half goes thru the front and the full thru both) so I can't see them allowing anyone thru prior to the race therefore there has to be buses running for those resorts too.
I rainy day at WDW is better than a day at work
