DH and I are heading in Jan 10th for a long weekend to do a 1/2 marathon just wondering if any other of my fellow Canadians will be there???

Hi Kim ... sorry, not going until 2010. But have a fabulous, MAGICAL weekend. We did the 1/2 in 2005 and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Be sure to pick yourself up some souvvies from the Fitness expo ... mugs, pins, jackets, sweatshirts, etc. I regret not buying more.

have you been training online with the WISH'ers, by chance? 2005 was the first time that WISH people got together and trained, and those folks were the greatest! I have incredibly fond memories of all of them.

Happy training ... you're up to the really long runs/walks now!

We will be there Jan 5-15, but not for the marathon!

Thanks Maryliz, I can't wait we have done 2 other running/walking events at disney and they are great.

Lollipop: Marathon is 12th and 13th with about 30,000 people in for the event it is going to be crazy. I hope you have a awesome time!!!

We are going to be there Jan 5th to 13th but not for the marathon. The marathon I believe is on the weekend of the 12th - does anybody know what the week is like leading up to the marathon weekend in terms of crowds and busyness? Is the marathon at all parks or just a specific one?

People start rolling in the Tuesday/Wednesday before the Marathon weekend, so expect the parks to be busy all the way up until 2 or 3 days after the marathon. After that, you'll see a marked drop in crowds.

I noticed there seems to be LOTS of resort availability until the 10th/11th, then it seems all booked up until about the 13th, then available again.
