Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend 2025 (September 4-7)

[Goofed98]

Oh - I change flights in Phoenix on Friday. I hope that weather doesn’t affect my flights too bad!

I wouldn't sweat it too much.

It doesn't take very much rain to cause excess run-off around here.

I'm not holding my breath for thunderstorms and heavy downpours.

Do you have pls some names of people -social media- that might have been invited to a full preview of the merch area?
Thanks!

They haven't been doing this at every race, so they may not have hosted a preview. But runninginmakeup and michaeldoesdiz on IG are often invited to such things when they do happen.

Onceuponamarathon has some reels up of yoga this morning.
Teamrundis also has pictures up for weekend stuff (signage, yoga, etc). This is the account/website responsible for the runDis alerts.

Safe travels everyone if you’re not there yet! Can’t wait to see pics and read your experiences! I’ll be driving down Saturday and wish I was there already!

Group 9 for merch!

Group 9 for merch!

I got 114 but I didn't join until 730. I was surprised I could still join then and not have to wait until the 2pm queue

Are you kidding me? No men’s challenge jackets, only fitted women’s!!! They didn’t order any…

Finally in SoCal after drama with my handcycle case at the airport first with it being too heavy (we flew with it in June no problem on the same airline) and then about it fitting in the cargo of a full size aircraft. Which is not fun because I can’t drive right now. And while my Dad can drive he can’t go cross country at the moment for a few more weeks until October. So I have to fly with this thing. So I was trying to not panic and suddenly worry for the third time this week if my trip was going to be cancelled because of the airlines this time.

Thankfully they called over the supervisor who remembered us from June. And we got it sorted out. But not before I had a fourth worry because they were debating this same case that fit on a full size crafts door in June would fit through the same size cargo hold

I bet some items didn't arrive in time for the expo. I'd be shocked if they didn't have a men's/unisex version as they always do. It may be worth checking back each day in case they show up.

That's just ridiculous!

I would wonder as well especially thinking back to the 2021 Wine & Dine where there were lots of items that never came in due to supply chain issues post pandemic and cast connection was overstocked with a bunch of the items for months

Also there was no coast to coast merch. Which was sad to me because I like this medal/theme. Last year the medal was not to my liking so the merch wasn't even tempting.

Tonight's epiphany. DD (14) admitted that she forgot she had registered for the 10k until a few weeks ago.

DS16 is getting over a bug so I have a chance of beating him in the half... he may not know we are racing.

The only merch for coast to coast last year that I can recall was a shirt with a white background and was... lackluster, to say the least. If they’re going to put no thought into it I'd rather they not bother.

You take the wins you can get. I like to tell coworkers that I''ve beaten a marathon Olympic gold medalist in a Disney half. After they look impressed, I then inform them the guy is now in his 80s and had open heart surgery.
