Marathon Weekend 2018

[Dis5150]

Boardwalk booked for the first two nights...

Yay! I have to rent points, at SS, so they are waiting on a member to accept my request. Except my agent is on vacation until Tuesday. She is "monitoring her email" so hopefully she will let me know if she finds out something. Not that I am anxious or anything!

We booked the Contemp for this trip. DW and I's 20th anniversary is on Tuesday so I need to figure out if we want to spend it here or go down a night early.

I have a non-disney vacation in a few weeks and Disney in June. Since I am still planning for those, I somehow totally blanked on the fact my 11 month mark is days away! Everyone talking about making their reservations reminded me, so thanks Better decide what races I'm doing and therefore when I am traveling.

 

[PCFriar80]

Just booked BCVs for 8 nights!

2BR at Saratoga Springs booked! At the 7 month DVC window, we may try and switch to someplace else, but it's comforting to know we have race registrations and a place to stay. Add some airfare and, baby, you got a stew going!

I need to write this somewhere because I might explode from excitement otherwise.

I'm signed up for Dopey, and I signed hubby up for the 5k. Then I got a wild hair going to go on the cruise so we can both do the Castaway Cay Challenge. We've never been on a cruise before, so I figured it would be a nice way to relax. (Or all the ship exploring). THEN I go, well New Years is only two days before we have to be there....

So long story short I booked Art of Animation Cars suite from NYE day until the following Monday, and then we go on the cruise for 4 days. Of course things can change between now and next year, but that's the current plan we are going with.

Darn you runDisney. Since the Marathon, I have registered for W&D 5K and 10K with a girlfriend & reserved our resort. Decided to take our kids in September and, why the heck not, add on a Disney cruise. Now I'm signed up for the 2018 Marathon and trying to talk DH into Dopey... I have GOT to get this under control!

Stop taking all of my money!! Just kidding, take it all. Life is short and Disney makes us happy.

Yep, I'm trying to plot and plan a Disneyland trip for coast to coast.

If Labor Day weekend doesn't work for you, there is always Super Heroes (with more comfortable weather, IMO)

Well I was actually considering Light side right after marathon weekend since I should still be on break from college. Otherwise Labor Day weekend would be next best.

I totally forgot we were talking 2018......

 

[Dis_Yoda]

Light Side is fun! This will be year 4 of that for me and my first half marathon with a stable ankle! (you know, after well, doing multiple race weekends - don't follow my example - I'm dumb).

I wanted to do 2017 for that 10th anniversary coast to coast but that's likely not going to happen so 2018 it is.

Sounds like me right now. The in-laws have been dying to go with us to Disney for Food and Wine so we just booked DVC Rental for early October. On a whim bc why not use our APs, signed up for Dark Side Challenge (Hello Flower and Garden).. just signed up for Dopey and started paying DVC rentals and still have to sign DH up for the half. Talk about hitting the bank account hard.

But I say the same thing as you... Disney makes us happy so why not spend our money on experiences.

Yay! Just got the email that we got our reservation at Saratoga Springs, preferred studio! This will be our first time renting points, first DVC stay and I am very excited!

Woohoo! Congrats. I'm so impatient about ours. Since our stay won't end until January 9th, our rental place said they couldn't request until the 9th. I guess that's how that works? You have to be 11 months out up to the last day of your stay?

There's a special 10th anniversary C2C medal?!? And I just got mine last year! Hmmm....I've always wanted to run Avengers....

Thanks! Our first day is the 3rd and she was able to book it today, so I don't know?? Saratoga Springs is probably easier to get than the Poly (isn't that where you are trying to get in?). We are using DVC rental store. We check out on 8th.

Hmmm, yeah we are using them too. And, yes, hoping for Poly. Oh well, it's okay. I suspect we'll get it whether today or the 9th. I'm just impatient.

Yep it's bigger and different than the previous ones. I will definitely have medal envy of those getting that one.
