First Timer DLR Half Marathon

[pman111]

Hey everyone!!!

My mom is a huge Dis-er on the WDW forums (jillpie) and she thought I should come check you out for more info. I am coming down for my first trip to DLR in September (I think we are going to do the 2nd-6th) for my first Disneyland Half Marathon. I am so so sooooo excited!

Can everything be done in 4 days? Considering one day will be a slow one for the race. And will I lose that Disney Magic if I stay off property? I am trying to start to book everything now. This will be the first vacation booked on my own without my Mom and Dad booking it for us. Crazy!

Any other runners? What are your plans?

3+ days is alright. Becuase of the holiday weekend it would be ideal to have another day. But I'm sure it will work out fine.

As far as loosing the magic staying offsite. The majority of people stay offsite it should be ok.

Enjoy the race, plan to take pictures rather than get a good time.

I too will be at DL to participate in the half marathon but I live locally. Nevertheless I plan on staying off site to avoid having to deal with traffic, closed streets and parking. You will not lose that Disney Magic especially with everything going on that weekend.
