TOT is the only ride I can even consider during the full - do you happen to know how long it took, from entering the TV room to exiting to the race course? That's my big concern: that it'll eat a huge amount of time for this slow runner, even with a FP.ToT was very easy to run on this year's course since we ran right past the entrance. It's the RnRC that was a bit out of the way, but still worth doing.
I'm guessing you'll get a gazillion different answers on this one, as everyone has different wants and needs! Me? I want the nicest accommodations I can afford because I don't do much park time and will spend plenty of quality time at my resort during a race weekend. I also want to prepare most of my own food, so a kitchen is a must. I've been going offsite at Wyndham Bonnet Creek for years now and will again for 2018: I can get a 1 bedroom with full kitchen for less than I'd spend at a moderate onsite.Where are your favorite places to stay for marathon weekend?
The Monday DATW sounds like a great way to celebrate! Also, can I ask a POT question? For the half marathons, I've been using my 10k PR time. For the marathon, can I still use the 10k or does it need to be a half marathon? I wasn't really planning on doing a half for time this year but may need to re-think that plan. RnR DC has a big hill and I may want to stop for photos during the Star Wars Dark Side half. Or how about a 10 miler? I have an April 10 miler that could be a good option for a PR (flat-ish and it's not too hot in April).
I'm interested in this as well... just out of curiousityTOT is the only ride I can even consider during the full - do you happen to know how long it took, from entering the TV room to exiting to the race course?

As someone who has ridden ToT 20x in one day, I can tell you that this will take about 15 minutes. Have ridden 4x in one hour several times.I'm interested in this as well... just out of curiousity
I think we're going to have to finagle our dates for the DATW event on Monday the 9th!
Pretty psyched about the free beer for the 10K though! LMBO
In all seriousness...We have GOT to figure out where to stay. 5 of us, want deluxe, also there celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary as well. Honeymooned at WL-I think DH would like to stay there but I'd prefer something more convenient. Has anyone stayed in a "deluxe" room at BWI or YC/BC?
I stay value almost all the time at WDW and it's fine for what we need. We are hardly in the room so it works well for us. If you get a room facing the lake at POP you can see EP & ST fireworks, the lake is really lovely. The food court can get crazy at times at POP but you can walk to AOA so that's nice benefit and they have Pasta Your Way which is a great before a race. One thing I've noticed is sometimes they don't replenish our plastic disposable bathroom cups, so if I see a maid cart I'll grab a stack or call down and they'll send some up pretty quick. I hope you like it!OH thank goodness. This will be my first time at a Value, I sound like such a snob, but I'm really worried I'm not going to like it.
NopeI was already thinking of a marathon outfit...is it too early???

That is insane. I have only ever ridden it once-that was more than enough as I spent the entire rest of the trip, expecting every other ride to also "drop" ! Lol.As someone who has ridden ToT 20x in one day
From the time we stepped off the course to the time we got back on was roughly 20 minutes. RnRC took about the same amount of time. Longer run off course, faster line.
Just curious, from previous years, those of you who are DVC, anyone have luck switching at 7 months, or is stuff booked up pretty solid by then? My home resorts at WDW are OKW and BWV. I was planning to book BWV but now a larger group may go for PHM in February, and I would want to save those home resort points for that trip.
I'd like to end up at BCV, BWV, BLT or Poly. I know people have said they had good race experiences at OKW, but particularly BC or BW would give my DH some easy spectating opportunities.
