Marathon Weekend 2019

[PrincessMickey]

I've done Disneyland once as a kid and once as an adult. World I've been to 3 times, once as a teen, once when the kids were little and last week. First RunDisney event was this past marathon weekend.

 

[FFigawi]

I’ve been to WDW 11 times. I’ve done WDW marathon weekend 4 times.

I really need to get to Disneyland and try a different race weekend.

So you're looking forward to a trip to Paris, then?

I wish but my college budget won't allow that just yet.

We're doing Paris in 2019! I may be starting on my pre-trip report today since I'm stuck at home with a dog with a sprained front paw and need to keep him calm and lazy.

We're also doing Paris after 2 weeks of indulging in France. Do we want to take bets on how slow that half marathon will be for my husband?

Sundays are for Disney:

First trip to WDW was in 1983 with a school group.

8 times to WDW with my own family.

Marathon weekend 2019 will be my first runDisney event. Looking forward to it after reading everyone’s comments/trip reports on last weekend.

 

[DVCFan1994]

I've been to WDW at least once, often twice, a year since my first trips a kid in 1986. I've had a few years with 3 trips, and I lived in Orlando for my first year of college at UCF. I'd guess I have 45-50 trips total? My family members are all Disney people, my parents first joined DVC in 1994 when I was in college and my siblings still in lower school grades as Christmas break was the only common vacation and having points made it more affordable (back then it was $55/point!) to go that time of year. Now my husband and kids enjoy it too. However, as of last year, we have started cutting back to once a year, as we have other places we want to go and other experiences we want to enjoy as a family.

As for runDisney events, I have done Princess weekend (the Glass Slipper Challenge plus the 5k in 2 of 3 years) times in 2014, 2015 and 2016. I did Avengers Infinity Challenge + 5k in 2015 so I could get my Coast to Coast medal. My husband and kids joined me for that 5k and it was so fun doing it as a family. I just attended my first Marathon weekend last weekend. I did the 10k and full. I honestly thought it would be one and done for me, as it is really tough schedule wise for our family. But, I had so much fun I am sure I will do it again. I do want to do Dopey someday, maybe 2020? I never would have started running regularly if it hadn't been for runDisney, so it seems fitting I can't seem to drag myself away. As both a wine fan and a Star Wars fan, I'd like to do those two weekends, but with our new 1 Disney trip a year policy it may take a while to get to them all. Unlike some I really enjoyed running in Anaheim as well for Avengers, so I do hope rD brings those races back.

I know we went to Disney World and Disneyland when I was a kid but I'm not sure of the number of times. I think it was around 4 or 5. As an adult, I've been to Disney World 6 times and Disneyland twice. As for Run Disney events, Tower of Terror 10 miler 2014, Wine and Dine half 2015, Dark Side half 2017, Infinity Gauntley challenge 2017, Disney World marathon 2018.

Good morning, runDisney all-stars! I hope you're all having a great weekend and staying warm.

Today's Sundays are for Disney question: how many times have you been to a Disney park and how many runDisney events have you done?

I have been to Disney World five times in my life, twice as a kid and three times as an adult. I've never been to another Disney property. My 2017 trip was for marathon weekend and that was my first and only runDisney event so far.

Have a great week, everyone![/QUOTE
I've been to Disneyland one time and Disneyworld over 20 times. I've done the following Rundisney events

Marathon - 2018, 2016
Wine & Dine 1/2 Marathon - 2017, 2016
Star Wars Dark Side 1/2 Marathon - 2017, 2016

Do a "Study Abroad" course and get school to pay the transportation!

Today's Sundays are for Disney question: how many times have you been to a Disney park and how many runDisney events have you done?

I honestly lost count years ago... I've gone to Disneyland 1-3 times a year since 1975 (I like to say I grew up Disney). My first trip to WDW was in 1998 and I've gone back every year or two since (twice in 2014). Finally, I've been to Disneyland Paris twice, in 2007 an 2016.

I've participated in 12 runDisney weekends:
Wine & Dine (2013, 2014, 2015)
Tinker Bell (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017)
Disneyland Half Weekend - 10k only (2014)
Star Wars LS (2015, 2016, 2017)
Disneyland Paris (2016)

I'm looking forward to adding WDW Marathon weekend to that list!

Do a "Study Abroad" course and get school to pay the transportation!

I went to Disneyland Paris as a college student on a study abroad program. Mine was a summer program where we went to 10 cities after a few intense weeks of "school" at our campus. We were supposed to pick a "cultural site" to visit on a "free" day and about 1/3 of our small group justified Disneyland Paris much to the professors chagrin. It was the best! My kids want to go and I know it has changed a lot so we hope to take our kids in a few years to see France (my husband's family is French) and to experience Disneyland Paris.

And totally random, but when I went to Tokyo Disney my friends dad (an exec with Disney) drove us around Disney Seas before it was finished. Hence I was bummed my Hong Kong trip (where I stayed with them again) was too close to opening to work out a trip.

No, no, no!! You mean "Bonne idee"! Oui, oui?
