Did anyone of you stay at any of the monorail accessible resorts (GF, Poly, Contemp) during the marathon weekend? If so, do you like it? Is it convenient? Thanks.

DisneyMarathon, 
We stayed at the Polynesian. We didn't have to get up extra early to get to the start. It was great to walk out of the hotel, board the monorail and BE THERE! Depending on the condition you are in following the race, I would recommend taking the bus back, though. Climbing that monorail ramp at EPCOT, going back down the ramp, and then climbing the ramp to the resort monorail at TTC is daunting, to say the least!

We stayed at the Contemporary and it was well worth it. My family was able to walk out and see us run by right in front of the hotel. The monorail access to the start was WONDERFUL. Also, they recently remodeled and it was beautiful.
It was our first Disney 1/2 and now I don't want to stay anywhere else !!
I got spoiled by it.

We stayed at The Grand Floridian. It was very nice to be able to just walk out and go to the monorail and head over. Also very convenient for my family as we went to Magic Kingdom on the Friday before the race and ate at O'Hana at the Polynesian on the Saturday after the half. I think we are going to stay at the Contemporary next year for my first Goofy!
