Um ... I dunno if it was an error that will be corrected later or what, but my travel agent only charged me $178 for the marathon.

They will make up for $10 loss on commission OR they get a discounted rate for promised sales.... something like that

 

[SarahDisney]

Honestly, I'm assuming it was a typo in a database somewhere and in a few months I'll get an email saying "oops, we charged you the wrong amount, we need to add $10 to your total bill."
Or maybe my TA got a discount on the marathon. I dunno.

Well I want your TA

I just checked ... they still have Dopey bibs available. But those seem to be regular price.
(See how I slipped that Dopey in there??)

I really wish I knew what they were up to. Like should we still expect fees on top of that? I would imagine yes, because if they did a huge price jump to include fees people would probably lose it.

You know, if they are getting away from active.

Good morning, runDisney all-stars!

Your mother wants you to eat your broccoli, wash behind your ears and get down to some Sundays are for Disney. We don't want to disappoint ma, so let's go.

What do you love at Walt Disney World? Everyone list something and we'll keep going until next Sunday. There's no limit to how many times you can post and it can be anything, so let's see how many we can get - I think the previous record is about 300. Take a shot every time @Keels lists an alcoholic beverage.
