Marathon Weekend 2018

[rteetz]

I like this Character Alert for the course. I am curious what characters to expect on the course. I am hoping for a ton of rare characters. Here is a list of characters that I would like to see (likely hood):

Darkwing Duck (4)
Launchpad McQuack (5)
Rescue Rangers Chip and Dale (3)
Huey, Louie, and Dewey (1)
Jiminy Cricket (5)
Mr Smee (6)
Tweedle Dee and Dum (7)
Big Bad Wolf (8)
Merlin (2)
Robin Hood (5)
Little John (3)
Prince Eric (6)
Cogsworth (6)
Lumiere (6)
Sebastian (4)
Timon (7)
John Smith (5)
Quasimodo (3)
Hercules (5)
Meg (4)
Hades (5)
Jafar (6)
Wreck It Ralph (8)

If anyone knows direct links to trip reports or recaps that cover characters that you see on the course that would be awesome!

I don't cover all the characters but do have a good amount in my TR from this past year.

Darkwing Duck and/or Launchpad have been out for the 10K in the past couple years.

Tweedle Dee and Dum if they are out will usually be during the half or full and near the tea cups.

Big Bad Wolf was out on the road between MK and AK during the 2017 marathon.

I think Cogsworth or Lumiere was out during the marathon or half a year or two ago in the Fantasyland area.

Sebastian has also been out during the half or full near the Ariel ride.

Wreck it Ralph has been out in the MK parking lot before during half or full.

Character line-ups can and do change. Of the ones on your list I have seen (personally or through other reports) Darkwing, Launchpad, Jiminy, Smee, Dee/Dum, Big Bad Wolf, Robin Hood, Little John, Sebastian, Timon, Jafar and Wreck-It Ralph during the January races.

I have seen (personally or through other reports) Prince Eric, Cogsworth, Lumiere, John Smith Hades and Meg, but they were at other race weekends.

Oh yea, I know they change. I was super sad not seeing Darkwing Duck at the Wine and Dine. At the end of the day, Darkwing Duck is my overall goal to see.

Apparently Lumiere was out during the 2016 marathon in New Fantasyland.

Yea I have looked through your trip reports and they are laid out pretty good where to expect certain characters.

I know someone in character entertainment. When we get closer I will try to find out if she has any advance notice on characters on course. Last year she worked the 10K characters.

Also, some of my friends were wondering what food do they have available in the post race area both provided and for purchase. Like for the Half Marathons they give a box of like chips and squeeze stuff, which won't be enough for a post marathon snack. Didn't know if you could buy like a sandwich or something with more substance.

The snack box after is the same as all the races (chips, cheese, gogosqueeze, etc.) & bananas. I'm not sure what they'll sell though.

I've been checking this site pretty obsessively, like once an hour, this morning and I just got a new message. Hoping this means they're loading the data! View attachment 288449

Totally just saw that change too!

Apparently Lumiere was out during the 2016 marathon in New Fantasyland.

Yep he was....with a looong line!

I’ll send a message out when we get closer to race day for people that want to get alerts on characters and where to expect them if you’re interested. We’ll either set up a text group or we’ll all connect through WhatsApp. I’ll be in corral A(I’m assuming) so my plan is send them out as I stop for pictures. Now if you’re in corral A or you pass me then this obviously won’t work. But hopefully it will help a couple people if they are looking for something specific.

 

[Princess KP]

When are they going to post the corrals???

 

[Goofed98]

Yep, waivers work! Bib number confirmed. No idea which corral, but I have a number for this year!

 

[jeanigor]

I feel pretty confident that I have a bib number squarely in the middle of the pack. One more thing to check off the list to worry about.

 

[rteetz]

Soon.

 

[BuckeyeBama]

Thanks for the waiver link - our bib numbers are about what I expected. Now to see how this translates into the new corral system they have implemented.

 

[Outonarun]

Waiver printed! Last 20 miler tomorrow... Exciting times!

How does signing the waiver work for a minor? Do I sign and write "parent of"....X.

[Chaitali]

It looks like the link to the waiver is working for 2018 now. https://www.trackshackresults.com/disneysports/waivers/wavr18wdw/verify.php

Oops - sorry. Just saw that this was already posted.

The waiver will have a place for signature of parent or guardian.
