Marathon Weekend 2019

Full pace: 14:00
Stopping for characters (yes, no, some): Most likely a couple
 
In the 2016 marathon, the only ride people talked about riding was Everest, but I saw some posts a while back about riding Rock N Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror. Do they let runners use the Fastpass lines typically? I'm not sure at that point if stopping and sitting down is a wise thing to do, but then again, it will be all parks and resorts, so I can trick my body into thinking it's just another day at the parks with more running and walking than usual.
 

I did not need to read this 18 days before arriving at POR. I trust in the last five years they’ve sorted out any transportation issues there.

It's not a normal story and in no way indicative of the marathon buses! It seems to have been a fluke, but it was not a great first runDisney experience!

No problems at All-Star Sports last year, and I'm at AKV this year, so even though I said I would go monorail from then now, clearly I didn't keep that promise. :P

Usually, but not always. The best way to ride is to get in whatever line they put you in and politely ask the people in front of you if you can skip ahead of them because you're running a marathon. Most people will gladly let you go before them, and you end up at or near the head of the line very quickly.
 
Okay...so, I'm going to try to put together something so we all know who is in our corrals, paces, doing character stops, etc. The idea is that if you're going solo and looking for someone to run with, this is where you'll find them.

This is nowhere near as detailed as @DopeyBadger's past spreadsheets. I don't know what time you're all starting or what time you'll hit Everest, Hollywood Studios, etc., but I hope you'll still find this useful.

So, here's what I'm looking for (from anyone who feels like participating):

User name:
First name:
Corral:
Anticipated 5K pace (if applicable):
10K pace:
Half pace:
Full pace:
Stopping for characters (yes, no, some):

So, for me, it'd be:

User name: lhermiston
First name: Lee
Corral: B
Anticipated 5K pace: 9:00
10K: 9:00
Half: 9:00
Full: 9:00
Characters: some

If I "like" your post, it means I have your info. If at all possible, try to get me your info in the next four days while I'm logging in from home. I'll try to post the excel file next weekend to see if we've missed anyone.

should this also include bib numbers?

Corral: C
Full pace: 9:00/mi is my regular race pace but I'll be doing this one WAY slower than that.
Stopping for characters (yes, no, some): Only planned stop is the old ride vehicles if they have them out. Might pet a goat and do a push up for Sarge.
