Marathon Weekend 2016

I know it's a long shot, but which resort are you in?

We're at Pop!

I kind of thought it would be a big deal too ... seems almost like they wanted to take the bag.

Sorry to hear that. I'm at French Qtr. If you were here or Riverside I could have dropped you off a spare. Good luck tomorrow!

Anyone know what time corral P started at? Just to try to give myself an idea how far start time J was. Will I get swept if I take 8 hours from J tomorrow?

i had the same thoughts coming from I.. my research has shown me that they started about an hour after the initial start so that gives you about an half hour+ buffer plus from what i understand you are safe around mile 25 so thats some more minutes there so youre looking at a good buffer but you have to do slightly better than 18mm

Yeah, it was high due to multiple character stops. Looking at my Garmin I spent anywhere from 4 to 10 minutes in line. That hurt my times, but I knew going in any pics where going to be done before the marathon

I am at POP. You can have mine. I will not be checking any bags

LSULakes - will the prayer meet be before or after going thru the gEAR check tent?

I would think before with it being at 4:30, we should have time to get through after. Any objections or suggestions?

Thanks so much for the offer!! I was able to put his things in my bag and we consolidated ... which is probably for the best anyways Good luck to everyone tomorrow. I am SO nervous, I'm not sure how much sleep I'll be able to actually get. How I go back and forth from feeling pretty OK about it to totally doubting myself I will never know.

No objections to before or after the runner only tent. Did you want pick a specific letter to all meet at?

My husband would really like to see me run at some point, but we don't have park tickets. Any suggestions where would b the best place to go for the best chance of a wave and a cheer? I'm assuming the finishing line will be mobbed. (?)

I'm coming from only a couple of miles west of World Drive on the 192 as well. I hate the idea of being there for 2 hrs waiting but don't want to be dumb about it as well. Are you still planning on leaving at that hour?

I did just the half and 5k this year, but I got parked at Epcot around 4:30. I had enough time to hit the portopotties, wait 15 minutes in the car, and still walk to my corral with 5 minutes to spare before corral C was released.

 

[derekleigh]

Good luck to all Full runners!

Anyone else spot the wild turkeys this morning?

That is cool!

How was traffic going in today? Heavy at all on World Drive? What time did you leave home?

If you still need an extra let me know I have one from the kids race. I am staying at Pop also. I see you worked out. Good luck tomorrow!

He can see you at MSUSA without a ticket and outside of the resorts.

Having not done any Disney before, I may have picked a bad area, but was going with the gEAR bag and bathroom area in the wonder lot. It's probably to late to change at this point but I'll check again before heading out. I am not bringing my phone with me to the race so last post will be around 2:50 AM...

In the pre stage area on the right hand side as a really long white tent that the runners will go through and drop off their checked bags the openings are broken down by like every two or three letters. It will start with A thru C, D thru F and so on to the letter Z.

This is from a couple of years ago
