Marathon Weekend 2019

Oh and also at the risk of sparking the annual or maybe it’s the monthly debate, they hand out bananas in a couple different places.

The only place bananas belong is in the trash.

Bananas are typically handed out just before AK and inside WWoS. It was hilarious last year seeing one of the wild boar they had out as a "spectators" or "on course entertainment" break loose from its handler and take off after a banana.

You’re a strange one.

 

[Keels]

Nope. Not gonna cave to the Banana Lobby. It's a trash fruit and I stand by that.

 

[FFigawi]

It might be obvious to most, but just want to remind people that the banana peels are just as slippery in real life as they are in the cartoons.

So are the large black trash bags people wear before the start & then drop on the ground for people behind them to slip or trip over.

I stand with @Keels!

It’s not my favorite but I’ll eat it during a marathon no doubt. I’ll also eat it covered in chocolate because chocolate makes everything better.

So how would a transfer from a Goofy reservation thru RunDisney to a Dopey reservation thru a TA work?

You purchase the Dopey bib from the TA and then they will give you transfer paperwork that you submit to RunDisney. @Princess KP just did this recently, so she can give you more insight on how the process works! I believe she received her refund for the Goofy and 10K registration within a week.

Bananas are bleh.

 

[KSellers88]

Oh yeah, this is very true. I wanted to be signed up, so I'm glad I signed up early. I just wish I could have gotten the discounted price then

I'm toying with the idea of going down for Princess if I can get a cheap bib, but I know that might not happen. That's not a must-do race for me right now, though, so I'm okay if it doesnt happen. I'm not okay with not doing the marathon.

I bought a Princess bib and have decided not to do it this year...wish there was a way to transfer it. LOL. Goodbye money!

I mean, I'll gladly run behind you guys and collect any and all bananas you don't want. I have a banana problem!

There are hotel and ticket requirements though but since I already had a DVC reservation and an AP, those requirements were waived. I purchased the Dopey bib online and waited a day for confirmation. I then submitted the Transfer Request to runDisney and within a day, my other registrations were cancelled and a refund was posted to my credit card about 4 days later. They don't refund the processing fees that you paid when you registered and there is a $45 Transfer Fee.
Transfer requests need to be submitted by Dec. 10.

I just checked and there is one Dopey bib left.

LOL true. Also meant not buying an AP this year sooooo it totally outweighed the bib cost. Look at me being all frugal!

I liked the clear cherry Powerade at the marathon, but sounds like maybe that was a one time deal if Wine & Dine is back to lemon/lime?!

I do not like bananas though & they end up all over the ground.

Meanwhile, we are still getting snow (at least it's runnable just so cold & white) but it's actually being created from Industrial Plants and their steam. I didn't know this was a thing until yesterday.
