Marathon Weekend 2018

[nervous1sttimer]

We are here! On the Magical Express with what looks like a lot of other runners. Beaches and Cream tonight, EPCOT and expo tomorrow!

You can Uber or get some other service but Magical Express will pick you up 4 hours before they haven't been adjusting that at all until they change it back to three hours on the 11th.

No, not with DME. You can take an Uber though.

If your airline does resort check-in just check your bags in at the resort, leave your carry-on's with bell services at the resort while you go off during the day.

When your ready to go to the airport come back to your resort, grab your carry-ons and and take an uber to the airport.

Thanks guys! That's what I thought but wanted to make sure there wasn't some way around it. I'll try to convince my boyfriend that we should uber and get there at the last possible second like I am prone to do...somehow haven't missed a flight yet but have sprinted through roughly 5 airports.

Of all the things I don't recall seeing that last year.

I don't think I've ever seen that at any Run Disney expo.

 

[LSUfan4444]

Yeah, I havent seen them ever either, which is why I want one

They used to have men’s polo shirts. My hubby has one from the half but had to be 5 years ago.

So my question is where should I watch my beloved Georgia Bulldogs next Monday?

There will be a ton of fans watching the game at ESPN Club on the boardwalk. I will be there with friends and family for the 3rd year in a row.

Roll Tide!!!

I know they've had Goofy polos in the past, but I can't remember seeing any recently.

I have a question about Magical Express pickup. We leave on Tuesday, 1/9 and I would really rather not get picked up 4 hours before our flight. We have pre-check and there's really no need to spend quite that much time at MCO when I could be poolside... Do you know if we can get a later pickup time (aka 3 hours before)?

Also, I hate to say it, but I'm rooting for weather in the mid-40s low-50s for the full. And, if I'm really going to get crazy, I'm also hoping for low humidity I walked a mile to work in 15 degrees this morning and I am ready for some warmer temps!

I talked to a CM about this when I booked Magical Express and they said that it could be arranged with the hotel once you get down there. No idea if that's true but I figure it's worth a try.

EDITED....we have pre-check as well and with an 8 year old there was no way I was going to sit at MCO for over 3 hours. With them changing the policy back to 3 hours on Jan 11 and us not flying home till Jan 13 we will just use DME

Kind of related - is Uber/Lyft allowed to pick up at MCO? Thanks.

 

[LSUfan4444]

Sure can

Finalizing my packing today bc we leave tomorrow!!!

Do I need to bring safety pins?

What's the best way to access the boards on a mobile device?

PITA travel day today but happily on DME finally.

Probably won’t make it to our FoP FP+ though. . Oh well, still happy to be here!!

You’ll get safety pins.

I just access it on Safari, Chrome, etc. Be aware though that the boards are always down when we’ll be waiting around to run so if you need to find some info, don’t wait until race morning.

Just completed my first Marathon Weekend ritual - the buying of group PowerBall tickets.

This G6 ain’t gonna pay for itself, y’all.

 

[bellrae]

It’s freezing and Animal Kingdom is a madhouse. Rest of my group decided they’ve didn’t want to get up early, so we’re going to do, probably/optimistically, three things before we leave. MK yesterday was a dream compared to this.

I’m at AK too, I spent 30 minutes just in the Starbucks line!

Can I chip in to the group if you win?

@Keels, play the Florida Lottery instead.
Worth 11 million+ and 1 in 27 million odds.

Powerball odds: OVER 1 in A QUARTER BILLION!
Seriously!
