It's on the official runDisney Facebook.

And is the assumption that we are all on facebook? I am not and can never see the latest stuff from rundisney in facebook.

 

[StarGirl11]

I think I'm going to go over and close Magic Kingdom might as well enjoy this unexpected respite.

 

[rteetz]

So we get a Facebook update but nothing on twitter, rundisney.com, or event guide yet.

 

[croach]

Where should we all meet up for drinks now?

Well I'm heading to the Poly bar. Feel free to join.

And you have to go into the event page for marathon weekend off the main page

I know it's not on twitter, the website or event guide yet. So much craziness right now. Watch the storms die off or something.

Demand for Dopey 2018 just went through the roof...

 

[ZellyB]

Wow. That seems premature. Wish I hadn't signed up for Tink yet. Could've used that refund to pay for that.

Ok I need to run 13 while I'm here! Prob Monday morning if anyone knows of a good spot on property to get it done?

 

[dburg30]

I hope there is lightning within distance of the course at least once an hour tomorrow morning.. I can't imagine the choice, but think about volunteers that need to be there earlier and longer, and of course us. No easy choice

Hanging by the fireplace at POR bar if anyone is here and wants to share a drink.

Although I'm sure some of this is because they have people out all night long setting up and with overnight storms they probably think they can't pull it off logistically even if the weather clears by race time

Legs still feel good after logging another 10 miles at Epcot after the race today. Feeling mixed emotions about the race. On the one hand, I want to run. On the other, I can think of nothing worse (within this limited example) than showing up at 4am tomorrow and waiting around for hours while they monitored the weather. Heartbroken for everyone who had planned the half as their primary race this weekend.

 

[StarGirl11]

All of you are drinking this off, what am I supposed to do lol...

I ordered a Virgin Pina Colada where I'm eating.

Exactly. I do events as part of my job and can't even fathom having to make a call like this. But I understand why they had to do it so far out. It's not just runners on the course or in the corrals, but volunteers and staff that are there setting up hours before, people standing outside resorts waiting for buses, etc. I feel terrible for all of you who are there and missing the race, but it's just an impossible situation. I really hope they made the right decision.

This is the cast email all cast members received at 7:15 pm.

 

[ReindeerMom]

Well, I guess I'll mosey on down to check out the bar at POFQ. Feel free to say "hello" to the tall crazy blonde woman drowning her sorrows in a drinkie-poo of some sort.

 

[daisyamy]

I just wish they'd send us an email. We all had to have one to register, and not everyone is on social media.
