Hard Pass

I should probably start packing, since I need to be out the door by 4:30 am on Thursday.

I just remembered sport beans.

I better make a list before I almost forget other things.

Most definitely not. I’d like to know how they decided on those prices, though.

I am! I’m over in building 15. If you see me wandering around on Saturday or Sunday feel free to say hi.

Things are finally settling down but the rest of my morning was not without incident. Was put into the wrong type of handicap room first. And then after that the computers tried to say my AP was expired. I renewed in October and that’s not talking about how I was here in December. Got a free FP out of that at least?

About the club. This would have been a better idea a few years ago when priority registration was much more needed.

Cool! I will, looks like you are a fellow Californian too!

Anyone else catch the “Tier 1 Pricing Year-Round for available runDisney Races**” notation under Silver membership? Any guesses as to what rD is going to do?

As for joining, nope. $266 for a jacket, magnet and bib designation is a bit out of line. The Platinum package benefits make me think that the only way for early expo entry is going to be this.

For the club, I'm surprised how many tiers they are launching with at the jump. It seems like they could have started with 1 or 2 tiers to see how that goes. The gold tier is really dumb - you're paying $210 more than silver just for the chance to purchase half or full marathon registration.
The jacket is the only thing with a dollar value. The rest are just selling air disguised as benefits.
I'd consider joining if there were discounts for the race registrations and/or the membership prices were more reasonable.

I just snagged an ADR for the character breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace!

Attention folks, given that runDisney thinks people will pay for anything, I want to announce a few minor changes to the 10k, half and full pre-race meetups.

Effective immediately, the pre-race meetups are now known as “Club Dis!” For $400 (cash only), you’ll get access to many Club Dis perks, such as:

Photos! Impress your family and friends by having your photo taken next to me, a genuinely tall man.

Autographs! I will sign anything you bring me, thereby either increasing or deceasing it’s value.

Chat with an Iowan! Wanna talk about corn, 4-H, the Hawkeyes or Busch Light? I’m your guy.

Early race entry! You can go to your corrals with no wait as soon as you’ve paid me.

Speaking of corrals, you won’t get better placement with Club Dis, but I will point you in the general vicinity of your corral.

I’m excited to see all of you at Club Dis, as participation is mandatory!

Meh, I leave tomorrow night and am still not packed. PLENTY of time!

Thanks for the heads up! I was able to grab one as well!

I’ll see and raise. I need to be put the door by 7:30 AM tomorrow. Not only am I not packed, I still have a load of laundry to do so that I can pack tonight.

Happy to meet you there for a lobster roll anytime this weekend. They’re not as good as home but still tasty.

We plan on CHH for Thursday lunch! Our traditional lunch place at MK.

I’ll do it, but dog stuff costs extra.

Being our first MW, and my first marathon, I hope they have some merchandise that is worthy. Our purchases have decreased since the great splurge of 2016. Watched a couple of expo 2019 videos this week.

I enjoy the note that trees should be in the background, not buildings.

Probably around 11:00 due to Fast Passes. We like to get an early lunch on MK days.
