Sorry if I missed it, but are there guesses when POT deadline is? It normally is early October? Thx

Yes it is normally early October.

I think we were either afraid it would take up too much time or we weren't feeling like a drink at the moment?!

Next year I'm running faster so I can have a drink and eat more spectator snack.

How deeply was it discounted this past year? I really wasn't paying attention to 2019 registration because I had a schedule conflict.

Towards the end Travel Agents were unloading Dopey bibs at a 50% discount on Facebook.

I'll be on a cruise next week during passholder registration. I'm not even going to bother trying to register.

Under the heading of A Sucker Is Born Every Minute, I'll be paying full price for early Dopey registration. Again. Which likely means it won't sell out and there will be deep discounts for those who wait. Again. You're welcome.

I'll join you so you won't have to feel lonely. If I wait, it'll sell out. If I don't, there'll be discounts later.

Well, I already paid through my travel agent, so welcome to the full price club.

Is the full price club exclusive? Or can any of us Suckers Born Every Minute join. Since this will be my first RunDisney event I don't want to take any chances on missing out...

Sooooo glad I'm not going to be the only one! I love throwing money at runDisney! I'll be on my phone, ready to go when AP reg opens!

@rteetz sorry, I will also post my question here...

With registration coming soon, I am trying to figure out which size shirt to pick for my 12 y.o. girl. Are there youth sizes proposed when registering? Anyone who registered a child recently (since the 5k has tech shirt), which size did you pick? TIA

Not runDisney specific but I tend to order my 12 year old daughter a womens small for races.

If the shirt doesn't fit your daughter, you can always exchange it for another size at the Expo.

Sounds good!

Yes it is normally early October.

If I had to guess, and if the web site has not been updated yet, I'd say the deadline will be Tuesday October 8.

I have a half on Sunday the 6th so that would work perfectly!

Wow! Now I'm wondering whether I should sign up for Dopey right away, or hold out for a discount!

Decisions, decisions. . .

Those discounts aren’t guaranteed. It depends on how well things are selling.

True. And since it's an anniversary year, it may sell better than 2019.

Tower of Terror is up by a single vote!

 

[lhermiston]

Good morning runDisney all-stars!

Drum roll, please.

The winner of the 2019 Sundays are for Disney March Madness Attraction Tournament is ... Tower of Terror! This was a close one, folks. A tightly contested final worthy of the two beloved attractions. Haunted Mansion (my pick in the final round) actually garnered the most votes throughout the tournament (278 - 245), but ToT was too much in the head-to-head battle, edging the Grim Grinning Ghosts by just five votes.

Thanks to everyone who voted and chimed in. I hope it was fun and maybe we can do something similar with restaurants or food items in the future. But for now, back to our regularly scheduled programming...

For this week's Sundays are for Disney, I want you to imagine you're stranded on a deserted island and all you have to eat is an unlimited supply of one Disney entree, one Disney snack item and one Disney drink. What do you choose?

Only rule: no choosing a buffet or all-you-can-eat sort of option, i.e. You can't say, I choose dinner at Ohana.

My choices: the sampler at 50's Prime Time Cafe (meatloaf, fried chicken and pot roast), citrus float for the snack (diary and vitamin C) and one of those alcoholic drinks that come in a pineapple at the bar by Ohana (more vitamins, plus rum).

I can't wait to see what you all come up with, I'm sure someone will find some kind of loop hole, ha ha.

Have a great week, everyone!

Well, I guess I’ll go with Homecomin’ fried chicken. My snack would be popcorn because it’s versatile. I could use it for more than just eating on the island

I don’t really have a stand out beverage. I love sweet tea so I suppose I’d just go with sweet tea from Homecomin’.

 

[Barca33Runner]

Sunday’s are for Disney:

Entree: Spicy Green Curry Shrimp from Tusker House

Snack: Bread Service at Sana’a (my overall #1 choice). If this is too large for snack it can be the entree, in which case I substitute the Funnel Cake with twist soft serve from Oasis Canteen (I feel remiss leaving off Les Halles from which I would be happy with basically anything from the menu)

Beverage: Peter Pan Float. As someone who doesn’t drink alcohol, this is a slam dunk.

 

[Professor_Cookie]

Entree-rabbit shepherds pie, Napa Rose

Snack-Nashville Hot Turkey from the Festival of the Holidays

Drink-I’m going with dole whip since it’s a semi-frozen liquid.

 

[broadsheet]

Entree: Sana’a butter chicken
Snack: Mickey pretzel with cheese
Drink: any of the specialty cocktails from nomad lounge
