2025 Wine and Dine

We did the gold member merch shopping this morning, and I was pretty disappointed with what they had. Maybe I’ve done too many races lol. I was posting here to see if anyone knows why they aren’t running the monorail for the races this weekend? Monorail staff had no clue. Also anyone know what is going on at BLT today? Serious lockdown with security everywhere.
 
Honestly both my friend & I would have done the Christmas virtual if it were actual medals and not the shoe ornaments
Definitely a weird misfire, I guess they didn’t see this coming because the virtuals have sold well but there’s always been this chatter about how these are getting too expensive. Now they force this bundle and it’s not even medals that you get, you’re spending over $250 for what are effectively a few Christmas ornaments.

They need the monorail for MW and PW to get spectators to MK. Not part of the equation for this weekend so I’m guessing they feel that it’s easier/cheaper to just run the buses.

Our room faces the courtyard, and it definitely looks really serious…just saw someone say a person was pushed/fell/jumped as it happened right outside their patio. 😪 The area is very blocked off now with many execs still around.

That, sadly, would make 2 in the past 2 weeks at CR/BLT.
 
Quick question for those who have stayed at resorts with multiple bus stops (riverside specifically) is there a preferred bus stop that we need to be at to get on one of the first busses for the 10k Saturday?

We stayed at Riverside for Dopey in January, the runDisney busses stopped at all the stops before leaving, our building was not far from the lobby so we went there thinking that would be the best place, but ended up stopping at all of them. There should be signs out indicating where the stops are, but I would suggest just going to whichever bust stop is closest to your room.

Omg I’m sorry I asked! How horrible. I thought it was a celebrity or big Disney execs. Thanks for info. I was joking that they were doing it for Taylor Swift! So sad.
 
Someone posted on reddit that they're in corral B for the half with a 43:00 10k POT.. what?!?!
I was super surprised about that, told the guy I thought they made a mistake on that one, that time is over 10 min faster than the latest chart's threshold for A. Of course, that chart is a year old now and we're seeing potential changes in corrals for the other races, not sure what to make of this. As per usual, most people are just listing their bib and corral (without POT/pace) so I don't have a lot to work with in terms of determining if there are any changes to the cutoffs.
 
I keep seeing FB posts and comments people are making about unflattering mens mesh race shirts. Any additional context to those in the know?
 
Jamming out to some Grateful Dead while taking a bus to Disney Springs for birthday dinner for my wife. So excited for this weekend. We arrived from Chicago at 11 this morning and headed straight to the expo to pick up our bibs. Nothing like long lines and hangry teens 🙄. We hit up the sponsor expo only and grabbed some stuff we forgot at home and then did a pool day. We’re doing the 5k as a family and then my wife and I are doing the half on Sunday. It’s her birthday today so I got her a massage at VGF on Sunday after the race. I’ll hang at the pool watching the Bears game. Loving every minute we’re here!
