Safe travels everyone! I still have to get through today and tomorrow at work before we get up there.

I remember talk of texting the character stops. Is anyone still planning to do that for the marathon?

I think it was @camaker that said they were going to do that

Who is all doing a trip report/dining report for the weekend?

I started my dining report

As @Jim Tancredi had said, the storm coming this way in the Northeast could change track and get worse. Well, that happened, and what was a predicted 3-5 inches of snow in Boston for Thursday suddenly changed to a predicted 8-12 inches. Delta issued a weather waiver so I was able to change our tix without penalty... we are now leaving Thursday morning just as the storm arrives so hopefully we can get out.

Currently 45, pouring rain, and a Feels Like of 39 here in west-central FL. Delightful. Roads are a mess, so the drive to WDW should be fun!

I know I won’t get back to the DIS much once I’m there, so... safe travels to all, and best wishes on all of your races!!!

Question:
If you ride Everest, Tower of Terror, or R&R Coaster does the distance become USATF uncertified?

Garmins certainly do not do well on rides.

@croach is the guy doing this awesomeness of character txts, so message him!

I like the shirts, I already have a red mararthon shirt but that's fine. I agree with those and the no-white, so glad it's not the white one...If I have a white shirt I'm guaranteed to spill on it

Good morning everyone! Expo day is finally here.

Hubs and I are headed to Boma then to drop me off at the expo. He’s going to do an off property bagel run then come back to get his stuff. Yay.

Safe travels to everyone today! I'm not running, but will be arriving at WDW Saturday as an early bday present. I hope to do a little marathon spectating on Sunday, just not sure of logistics yet.

Good morning from the shores Bay Lake! It's grey and overcast, but the rain has slowed to drizzle. We're headed to Kona for breakfast and then will be heading to the expo.

Not me, unfortunately. It was @croach that was planning to do that.

Apparently the wind isn’t going anywhere, either. The NWS has issued a wind chill advisory covering the 5k. Expect wind chills in the 24-29 degree range in the morning.

Noooo! I left Philly to get away from freezing windchills!

Sure wish I had an avatar to experience the Expo and Freezing 5K for me while I stay in my warm bed ...

Call Disney and ask if you can borrow one. I’m sure they’ll be very acomodating. That one in the lab for FOP never goes anywhere!

I thought that’s what @FFigawi was for? Plus he can bring you beer afterwards!

Southwest just issued a waiver advisory too. Unfortunately all the flights are sold out for today but I was able to move our flight to the 5:45AM flight tomorrow. First flight out from BDL - I am feeling better about getting out than later on Thursday.

Got a seat on my flight! Now waiting in Atlanta for my Orlando connection! Whoo hoo!

I tried to get the 6:00 AM from BOS but they were sold out... so I've got 7:05 AM. I think I'm OK for now as it only should be just starting then or a little later. I hope. I'll be stressing from now until wheels up.
