which is good, since I can't do W&D 2026

Who thought that was a good idea?! There's enough people already!

Just saw rD post the same about adding 5K spots to all races, beginning with W&D 2026, on Facebook. I

Now posting to their socials. I guess in theory, they could add enough people to fill a new corral, have starts going to 6:15 or even 6:30. I think this is going to cause even more stress around photo ops though.

From Reddit, and I think this is from the Expo, looks like they’re doing that thing where they have three different fonts and maybe offering clues to theming. Definitely not a villains year.

The font of the date makes me think of the font writing of the Rocketeer movie posters ( similar bit not the same. No electric bolts) . Not sure how that could fit into W&D theme though??? INTERESTING

Bumping this one bc looking at the calendar, with Club registration on 2/3, think there’s a good chance we get themes next week (1/20 maybe?).

Quite possible... the 2025 W&D theme was announced on 1/21/2025: https://www.rundisney.com/blog/2025-wine-dine-theme-reveal/

The date font in, particularly the dot in the middle of the O, makes me think of the Ashoka show script.

Can't imagine that is a theam though as there is very little wineing or dining in that show.

I think the theme looks a lot like a Great Gatsby type thing with flappers and whatnot so maybe Tiana in her Tiana’s Place/palace era? Looks very art deco

Anyone have an invite to the runDisney ******* where characters are posted?

A bit off topic but Marathon related...will this affect the crowds at MK on THursday the 22nd at all? I originally booked Oct 19-23 because the crowd levels were low but now the 21st is a 7 and the 22nd is an 8. We had planned MK on our last day Thursday the 22nd. Thanks for any input.

The races don‘t really make a difference. You’re more likely to be impacted by the after hours Halloween parties.
