Dumbo Double Dare!!

[wdwpluto]

So in theory, one could end up with 5 medals for the weekend? The 5K, 10K, 1/2 marathon, Dumbo Double and Coast to Coast? Sounds fun!!!!

We did the math
Goofy = 3
Dumbo Double Dare = 3
C2C = 1
four races, seven medals!

If you wanted to get crazy (ha!) you could do Dopey and the DL 5k (if you can swing it and the 10k, which seems up for debate based on the timing) for six races, nine medals

That would be a great picture worth waiting in line for at the end!

I am so tempted to do this. I loved being at DL in 2009, but training for a half marathon through the Texas summer does not appeal to me at all. Now a 10k, OTOH, seems very doable, and it's an inaugural year

 

[helloirishkitty]

Well crap!! I really want to do this but DL sells out quickly and I doubt I will have enough $$ to pay for it at that time. Especially since I tend to drop $$ at the WDW marathon weekend expo. GRRR!

Must figure out way to do this and have another vacation.....

This I can foresee being a problem for me too. I am in Disney the week that this goes on sale, so I will have to curb my disney spending.

How quickly do you think this will sell out?

I think the DL half this year (2012) sold out in 35 days. Less than 6 weeks for sure.

Hmmm, ok. I will watch it closely while I'm on vacation and bite the bullet when I get back. I wish RunDisney had a place I could go register for it while I was there lol

Looking at the response, I have a feeling this "Dumbo Double Dare" is going to sell out VERY quickly. Hopefully I can sign up at the expo!

 

[niclodn]

I so hope I can figure out the budget to make this happen! I don't know if I'll ever be able to tackle the Goofy, but this is definitely doable! I'll already have my C2C with Tink and Princess, but this sounds too awesome to pass up. Wish airfare from the east coast wasn't so dang expensive...

 

[WDWFAN9]

Well darn Disney! I am a sucker for inaugurals and bonus medals. It looks like Jim and I will be squeezing the budget to make the trip!

 

[RunRookie]

I was going to DL to get my C2C in 2013 so now I will make sure to register for the Dumbo at the expo! Wow! Do the Goofy then the Dumbo and earn 7 medals! Mind=Blown!

I will be poor but rich in Disney memories!

That's what I'm hoping for too!

I was really thinking of skipping the Disneyland Half until the medals changed but now I'm definitely running it. Darn you Disney! Lol.

 

[JCH]

Still haven't figured out what to do...DDD at the tune of about $1000, wait for Tinkerbell 2014 (I love that medal!) when it would cost slightly less, or just forego DL and do all four race weekends at WDW next race season? (I don't count Everest) Oh decisions!!!

I agree. Wish the medals would change a lil each yr.

This will be my first C2C so I have to go. And with DDD being the inaugural race, I can't pass that up.

I don't have C2C yet, either. I had a plan in my head to do all the WDW halfs in 2013, and then in 2014 to Tinkerbell and one half at WDW for C2C. This throws such a wrench in my plans! I have been seriously debating it, looking up quotes, and driving myself nuts. My DH calls it "first world problems to the Nth degree". but it's still frustrating

This was me exactly!

 

[tolemommy]

I couldn't of said it better myself "darn you Disney!" I completed my CTC this year. I ran DL TBHM & WDW WADHM thought I would save some $ this year my accomplishing this goal but now they are offering the West Coast Dumbo Dare! I am so saving my mad money to run this!

After getting some Christmas cash for race registrations, I am back to looking! I am looking at good neighbor hotel and am wondering if anyone has experience with Carousel. It says across the street, free breakfast, mixed reviews, but has a 3rd night free promotion making 2 1 park tickets and 3 nights hotels $508...that seems reasonable...anyone know anything about it?

I also got race money! I've started to look at planning too. I have no experience with this motel tho.
