Marathon Weekend 2018

[ZellyB]

Baby Mine - Dumbo. I would sing this to my kids when they were babies and it brings back so many great memories of when they were little.

I am really slacking lately on these Sunday questions! Sorry but Spring Break and March Madness have been holding me back.

What is your favorite Disney song?

"Everybody Wants to be a Cat" - The Aristocats
"I Wanna Be Like You" from the Jungle Book also ranks high, as does "Feed the Birds" from Mary Poppins

 

[GollyGadget]

My favorite Disney song is "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" from Carousel of Progress. It's one of our must see attractions and a great pick me up when things just aren't going my way.

 

[Simba's Girl]

Favorite song is "Wishes" When my youngest was born we used it for her birth announcement. Also Illuminations the Y2K version.

 

[TeeterTots]

Favorite Disney song? Way to difficult to answer!
Right now I've been singing a lot of Moana, Beauty and the beast, and mother knows best from tangled to my children!

TL;DR Section:
I managed to hold everything together to cross the line at 1:52:20 for a 3:22 improvement on my PR!! I finally got to ring the PR bell at the line, too. Overall, to squeeze an 8:34mm pace out of the combination of those training paces and race day shot of adrenaline, I couldn't be happier! And a 3+ min improvement on my RunDisney PoT is the icing on the cake. Thanks for reading.

Congrats! 1:52:20 is the exact time I submitted for Dopey 2018 POT.

Beauty & the Beast!! Ugh. It's SO GOOD.

 

[Disney at Heart]

Music? I love all the above, especially the upbeat, make-you-want-to-sing-and-dance numbers and love ballads.

But I especially love the music in Impressions de France. "The Aquarium" part, is beautiful, and "Claire de Lune" by Debussy was my 11th grade piano recital piece. And did you know Imagineer Buddy Baker also wrote some original music for the film? I can go into the theatre, "rest my eyes," and feel the peace of the music.

So hard to choose, I truly love them all! We saw Beauty & the Beast over the weekend and loved it, so those songs would be my current favorite.

Yesssss!!!!! I fell hardcore in love with that story all over again! Reminded me of how amazing it was the first time I saw it as a little girl! Oh, the feels!!!

 

[FelisLachesis]

Disney Villain ballads are amazing and my favorite.... but if I had to pick one it would be GASTON. It's consistently great across all mediums: stage show, animated movie, and new movie.

Poor Unfortunate Souls, Prince Ali (Reprise), and Be Prepared rank also high for me.... it's so hard to pick!!

**Warning: 4th wall break!**

I went to see the Live Action B&B today. Josh Gad totally stole that movie as Le Fou! He was great in that part! The song "Gaston" had me laughing all the way through, and it was because of him.

If his voice sounds vaguely familiar, Josh Gad also voiced the part of Olaf.

Edit: OMG I'm dying of laughter!

 

[RENThead09]

Favorite Song depends on my mood:

Welcome to the Family from Brother Bear. Makes me smile because of the parade of dreams.

You'll be in my heart from Tarzan. So many great versions of this song

Can you feel the Love tonight from Lion King.

and for fun

Ewok Celebration from Return of the Jedi! Yub Nub!!!!!!

I love Josh Gad, so much. I'm so glad he was cast as LeFou.

Go the Distance is one of the many favorites and I will say that when it comes on and I am running it makes me pick up my pace!

Anyone got some mid-run selfie tips? I'm not much of a selfie person in real life but decided I should practice a bit before the marathon. I know there will be lots of photo opportunities along the course and I want to be able to snap and go.

If you have an iPhone, you can swipe from the bottom of the screen and up to open the menu to select and activate the camera. I used that during the Disney Marathon this year and it was really quick to allow taking photos quickly and get back to running.

Favorite disney songs is hard, just like favorite rides and movies! I'm agreeing with most that right now I'm caught up with Moana and Beauty and the Beast. However, I could really listen to most Disney songs.

 

[baxter24]

Just Can't Wait to be King from Lion King and the music from Illuminations are my favorites!

Congrats! 1:52:20 is the exact time I submitted for Dopey 2018 POT.

I've been planning my POT race for Dopey 2018. It got me wondering: has anyone ever done (or seen) a POT-to-corral mapping?

Is it correct that the Goofy/Dopey standards are different than the singly half/full?

You're corralled based on your full time for the half & full since it's the same Letter/bib for both those. So it might seem like you are back a couple corrals based on your half time in the half but you'll be corralled properly for the full. Some will call it the challenge curve but it's not different standards than any other corralling in my opinion.
