Marathon Weekend 2018

[BigEeyore]

Thank you DisBoard peeps! The link worked for me - didn't participate in the 2017 marathon weekend but have done multiple rD races over the years. I was really stressing about signing up - it is actually really difficult for me to get on the computer at work in the middle of the day so this is a huge relief as I have been planning on Dopey 2018 for over a year.

Well DD27 did get the email so we are both registered for Dopey!

I also sent my request for renting points at Poly for the trip. They warned me that it might take a while as Poly owners aren't as plentiful as other DVC owners.

I think I'm going to go for Animal Kingdom - Jambo House - Value or Standard Room when 11 months open up. We own there so we have that going for us. The other reason why is we are leaving the day of the marathon after my husband finishes as we will both have to work Monday & Tuesday before we leave to go to California for Star Wars. At least at Animal Kingdom, the fitness center at Jambo House has a nice locker room that my husband can easily get cleaned up in before we eat lunch at Sanaa and I drive home. (he can stretch his legs then as needed easier).

This is going to be a very short trip. Go up Friday - come home Sunday.

I'm in for the Goofy and my daughter for the half. Thanks for the link... I did Marathon Weekend 2015 and 2016 but not last year. I'm chuckling people feel guilty using this way to plunk down $500 to runDisney. They are crying all the way to the bank.

Just signed up for the 5k! Fingers crossed that I don't get kicked out so I can register my mom on the 14th!

Well it is Sunday! Sunday's are for Disney (and the Green Bay Packers of course!).

Today's Disney question I am sure will be a popular one.

What is your favorite bar/lounge/adult space on property?

My answer: Well I am a new adult and cannot yet legally drink but I do enjoy the lounge at Port Orleans Riverside when Yeehaw Bob is playing.

What is your favorite bar/lounge/adult space on property?

1. Trader Sam's
1a. La Cava

Tough to choose between strong rum drinks and jalapeño margaritas.

What is your favorite bar/lounge/adult space on property?

Any of the poolside bars, or simply a beer from my room at the pool. Notice the "pool" theme.

While technically not a bar/lounge/adult space, I'll say Hoop-Dee-Doo since that's where I had my first legal drink.

Trader Sam's first, obviously. But I also really like the Nomad Lounge at Animal Kingdom.

5) Trader Sam's Grog Grotto - I'm a DL girl at heart so I always compare this one to Trader Sam's at 'home' and it comes up a little short.
4) Tambu Lounge - I've watched a couple of NASCAR races here while enjoying multiple Backscratchers.
3) Crew's Cup Lounge - The truffle fries are Ah-mazing.
2) Nomad Lounge - Kungaloosh!
1) Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar - Featuring my favorite drink at WDW, the Anything Goes!

Behind Starbucks in HS. I sit at the tables back there and relax, drink my coffee, and listen to the big band 40's music.

This, with No. 2 being Hurricane Hannah's. I'm like a celebrity there ...

The bar in AKL Jambo house, right above Boma. Can't remember the name of it at the moment but it's so dark and relaxing

Goooo Falcons! (Sorry, Ryan. Georgia girl here.)
I don't drink, but DH does, so I have spent some time in bars over the last 37 years hanging with him. Love the food, atmosphere, and theming of Jock Lindsay's. I also love Yeehaw Bob at POR and loved Scat Cat's Club at POFQ (if it's still there after the renovation), and I can always order a Coke or get a mixed drink... a CHERRY Coke!
