SAFD:

- Running through the castle
- spending a relaxing time Alone with DH, he’s been the best support for all of this
- riding rides we haven’t been on before
- enjoying every minute of Dopey (even the painful parts)

SAFD:

The thing I am most looking forward to is having a Peter Pan Float in Magic Kingdom after finishing the WDW Marathon #7 and Dopey #6 on Sunday.

But I am looking forward to so many things:
-Running the 5K in my Eeyore onesie again
-Hopefully working up the courage to stop at the 10K hydration station and stopping in at DATW
-Trying Ohana, Homecomin' and Be Our Guest for the first time.
-Going back to Sanaa, Tusker House, Morimoto Asia, and a few other old favorites
-Going on FoP and Slinky Dog for the second time
-Hitting the parks after the races for the first time in five years. Packing up almost immediately after returning from the Marathon is always a bummer.
-But, mainly, just being in one of my favorite places for a week.

what's a peter pan float and where do I get one?!

 

[Sakigt]

I forgot who asked but on my 18 mile training run I put the PB&J in a plastic bag and attached it to my run belt. Wasn’t too distracting and you could toss it somewhere so you look carefree and epic at the end

Sweet! This is so helpful (if true) if I decide to stop for characters. I would stop for Mike/Sully, Woody/Bullseye, Incredibles/Edna, and Up characters.

Those would more or less be my top picks, as well. I’d love to have a pic with Mike and Sully and I really hope the Incredibles are out for the full.

Reading through everyone's posts made me all weepy! I am excited for so many things, I can't even begin to list them. But Panda did a good job of summing it up for me.

Illuminations cruise

Great minds think a like!

I do wonder with the character lists leaked (I'm not looking as I like the spur of the moment surprise), if it will offset lines weirdly. I don't know, like everyone will hold out for certain ones making them extra long. Has it ever been leaked liked this?

I don’t think so because how many people out of everyone are actually seeing these posts?

Also yes lists and character have been leaked before

In no particular order:

1. being kid free for a few days (I love them but I need a break from "momma, momma, momma, momma, momma, etc", and also excited to go to the bathroom alone)
2. ALL THE DOPEY BLING
3. Surprising my husband with a stay in the Wilderness Lodge (he's always wanted to stay there)
4. Walking around with a drink in Epcot without it spilling all over my stroller
5. Reading a book on my balcony with a drink
6. FOP because it's my favorite ride ever

 

[DopeyBadger]

I'll leave it at that for now. Later today, I'll post a pic here and on the meet up thread so you all know who to look for Wednesday morning. Maybe @DopeyBadger or someone can post the map again (I should've saved it, apologies).

How about this? Ignore the 2018 dates on it.

Perfect! Thanks.

Who knows since it was posted in the facebook group to start with, with over 35,000 people, could be a lot or could be a few. Hopefully nobody gets upset if somebody is switched based on the list.

Not all 35,000 of those people are running these races though.

Also if someone gets upset that’s their own fault. They are trusting an unofficial Facebook post. Disney doesn’t promise this.

Congratulations to all of the racers next weekend. Wish I could be there with you. We would normally be arriving today. Bummed.

IT'S GAMEWEEK, Y'ALL!

Looking forward to having some alone time a d being able to do whatever I feel like. I love my kids and husband but not having someone ask for a snack every five minutes or just say “momma” on repeat will be nice. Excited to eat at Tiffins for the first time and talk to/meet people from here.
