I didn't mean it like I think it came out.. I mean... you are not sticking around or going to a breakfast or something. You are coming back to the room right after the race. Of course you won't be running the half for 5 to 6 hours

(or however long that would be from start of the race to room check out)
I think more in terms of injuring myself, ick ick ick to even put it into words! The kiddo and I are doing the breakfast after the 5K, which should be amusing, but I'm not doing that for the Half. I know the boy will be starving, because he, well, always is.
I have yet to figure out all that the after party entails. With the ToT is is clear. With EE... with W&D... all clear. There was not one for phm... but for the marathon weekend, the dtd after party sounds interesting. We will have to compare notes after we get back in January.
Yeah, it does sound kind of odd, but...if it's a choice between going and knowing or not going, I'll go for going. Wow what a weird little sentence that was. As the kiddo's dance company stuff gets more scheduley, our long long random vacations will have to come to an end, so this pre-planned thing will be something of a last hurrah. Waaaaah.
For the ToT, I am staying at CBR for one night by myself and then 7 nights with two other ladies. Then I am doing my first DVC stay for just one night at AKL in a savannah view room.

Kinda excited about that.
Ooh that sounds lovely.
For the marathon, to be honest I am not sure if it will stay with what I have booked. Currently, it is 3 nights in AoA in a LM room. Then we are switching over to a 1br at OKW for 6 nights. After seeing your plan though, I could see where maybe I could change things a bit to check in on the 11th somewhere. It is a thought I am now tossing around. Of course, all of it is dependent on availability of course. When I first booked, there was barely anything available that week.
Weirdly I just saw that SSR pop up, and ONE night at OKW popped up the other day. That was after ages of nothing nothing nothing. Just keep checking, if you're interested. If it's sunny in January, come laze around the SSR pool with me. Call it hydrotherapy.
So.. yes.. we started and got through the DVC process. We are owners at OKW.
SO cool. I wish we'd had the ability to wait and buy OKW either through disney or resale. We got greedy and silly, and believed our guide (who was otherwise fabulous though he has since left the company) that AKV and BLT were the only options. Greedy and impatient, we were! We've never stayed at BLT and we own there. Silly.
See, you point out even more how things could work out just fine to switch on race day. Makes me wonder. However, I am going to have to give it more consideration after I get back from the ToT race. Can't believe I leave in just a few days!!!
