Marathon Weekend 2018

[StarGirl11]

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.

I can't drink so I really don't have an answer for that. I'll sometimes go down to the POFQ bar to get a non alcoholic drink.

I've done very little drinking on property since usually there with young family members so dont get to much.. So I can only say Top of the World Lounge at Bay Lake..

It's not like we spent enough time there for the bartender to recognize you by name. Oh, wait....

Hmmmm ...

She is "The Official Keels of RunDisney"; a certain degree of notoriety should be expected.

RIGHT? I mean, I'm *kind of* a big deal ...

So just caught up on about 5 pages of this thread and was really trying to put this out of my mind until Feb 14 and just focus on running and you know, just life stuff. But now this advanced link has me torn. Past rD 2x challenger - but it does in my mind say, congrats on finishing the 2017 race and get the advance reg. I am SUPER anxious about not getting in on Feb 14, but do also feel guilty using this link and nervous about getting booted or not being sure if I should register on the 14th. Any of you who have registered without running the 2017 race hear anything yet? Has the guilt subsided... ?

Sorry to be a few pages behind. I really should keep up with this thread better!

My fear of getting kicked out later if I used the link for this year's marathon weekend participants got the best of me. Fortunately RawThreads loaded up their links today so I was able to get in for Dopey.

I'm planning to run the marathon next year. It will be my first (and almost certainly last) marathon. I am excited and also almost had a heart attack that the sign up is this early! I thought I had until this summer to decide if I had truly lost my mind and wanted to commit to running that far Thanks for the heads up!! I will sign up on Feb. 14.

Also, I am with the folks who voted for the La Cava del Tequila in Mexico. Those avocado margaritas are dangerous, especially if you just ran a half and haven't had lunch yet. Not that I made that mistake

I think my guilt never existed for the fact in 2016 my husband and I registered for 4 Challenges and we did 2017 Rebel Challenge. RunDisney gets a lot of money from us.

I'm sorry if I'm repeating a quick question~ does anyone know how much the registration is for Goofy for 2018? I would so appreciate it!

Ha - fair enough. I've actually read some of your TR or race recaps or whatever you've written! I recognize your name My current work has been very ethics related.. must be rubbing off on me. I have a few days to think about it. I'm still a past participant, but I don't know what makes me more nervous.. not registering now and hoping all goes well on Feb 14, or registering now and worrying about getting booted and not knowing if I need to register on Feb 14.

I participated in the weekend (I was registered for the half), but not the Marathon... apparently only Marathon folks got the email, which seems a little unfair. I was hesitant, as I am a strict rule follower by nature, but I looked all over the page (I couldn't view the email, since I never got it) and didn't see where there were any restrictions for registration (AP registration always says you must have a valid AP). That, coupled with the fact that you can Google "RunDisney Past Participant" and the page shows up made me feel better about it. Also, I am a weekend participant, so technically, I think I do qualify. Hopefully, rD feels the same way.

Just signed up for Dopey this morning! Got my mom registered for the 5k and 10k. All that is left is to get DH signed up for the half. (I need to take out a Disney loan for all these races...) Working on getting DVC rooms booked... How many days to go?

 

[cavepig]

I've read where Dopeys, Goofys, Half & 10ks got the email. Sounds like it was hit or miss if you got it and participated. So since you were registered I'm sure you are fine.

If RunDisney plans to kick people out wouldn't you think they would have done it to those already who used the link who were not participants? curious...

Since you were a 2017 weekend participant, I think you're totally fine.

I also looked through all of the restrictions and then opened the wine and dine registration on active to compare to the Dopey one and couldn't see much difference between a tiny wording in the URL that had PP in the Dopey one. I'm still torn - a strict rule follower as well. But, the fact that you can google it means people could stumble upon it, and I am a past participant just from the wrong year. Sigh... rules are hard

You sound like me! I'm just waiting, I click on it, and wait again....Disney should have just put out unique codes or something but then their AP/DVC links aren't secure at all either and there's no check on that ahead of time at all.

Everyone in my rD group got the email except me. I was a Dopey participant. The rest of our group only ran the 5k and/or 10k. So I think that rD tried to email it to everyone and something happened (maybe blacklisting?).

I have opened it so many times and looked through it and then closed it... it's terrible..
