Yes it was bad earlier too!

Wow! How long did it take to get on a bus? not coming in until Friday at 10:30a flight but will keep Uber in mind as option 2 if the line is too long.

30ish minutes? It wasn’t terrible but not great.

New playlist all ready for tomorrow ... it’s gonna take all the Run the Jewels, but I’m ready!

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.

Our flight out of BDL tonight was delayed from 7:50 PM to 9:14 PM. Not sure why. Maybe the storm in FL. Hate delays, but hopefully we will get out before the storm hits at 1 AM.

Good luck on your flight tomorrow.

Decided before leaving yesterday we would use Lyft from the airport this morning. From landing to our room in Beach Club was one hour. Money well spent this morning.

Woke up this morning excited to get to Pandora. Stepped outside and then switched from shorts to jeans, added a jacket to go with sweatshirts and a rain poncho... the good news is the rain appears to have stopped!!!

By the way, Pandora’s Flight of Passage is incredible!! Hope everyone here stayed dry and those on their way have safe travels!

Ok, I was looking at the map for the marathon again and saw the elevation chart. It looks like it's a gradual uphill the whole way. I couldn't really see the numbers on the side but I'm assuming that it's not a significant elevation change, right? I've trained on rolling hills in a hilly area and uphills at the end of my long runs but I haven't really run a long run where it's uphill the whole way. Clearly it's too late to worry about that now but I guess I just wanted reassurance from people who have done it before that it doesn't feel like 26.2 miles of uphill?

38 minutes to get on the ME. Not too bad I guess. Last people loaded on our bus so we can’t sit together. But we are finally almost there!

It’s a very flat course. The only notable hills are on some overpasses.

It's flat except for the on-ramps to the highways.

After a very chilly and wet morning at Epcot we are headed to the expo. Nice to finally see some blue sky though.

 

[JClimacus]

Although the bridge over the river at England in EPCOT can seem like a mountain.

 

[DVCFan1994]

On my way to the expo from MK. How have the crowds been?

Wow! That would be a no for me for sure.

 

[ZellyB]
