Marathon Weekend 2022

[1lilspark]

SAFD: Looking forward to firsts with Space 220, Gideons, and Polite Pig. To make them not all food-related, I'll add Beauty and the Beast sing-along in France at Epcot.

So excited that it's just a month away!

Unless you are going just to kill time or get out of weather the only redeeming quality to beauty and the beast sing along is the gallery in the lobby

SAFD- excited to stay at ASMo for the first time. Hoping to ride ratatouille and smugglers run. Don’t have any new meals planned but hopefully a new snack somewhere

I'll keep my expectations low!

SAFD: Looking forward to the new attractions I have yet to see (Ratatouille, Runaway Railway), and to actually trying to see fireworks/evening shows (the benefit of only doing the marathon). Also looking forward to a trip where I do all Lounge noshing/eating for meals. One perk of being a solo traveler is getting to sit at the bar--usually on the spur of the moment ,and a lot easier than dealing with trying to get a reservation for a meal.

SAFD: Excited to watch Cirque du Soleil’s Drawn To Life.

Holding out hope for a drink at Space 220, too!

I might be able to help you out.

SAFD - I won't be going marathon weekend because I didn't get signed up for the 5k but we are going Christmas week!

We went to WDW earlier this year, ok what should have been marathon weekend 2021, which was to replace a May 2020 trip, however so many things still weren't open. We ended up only going once in the before time, so still looking forward to seeing some of the shows like lion king, beauty and the beast and Indiana Jones as well as restaurants we had reservations for during the 2020 trip that we didn't get to do like Story Book Dining and the Edison, as well as new restaurant Space 220. But also just getting to be there for Christmas and all the festivities that surrounds the holidays at Disney World.

SAFD: Well, our change in plans eliminated a lot of first time things from this trip. First time at Topolino, first stay at POFQ, first time to Crayola World, first time to try mini golf on property, and my wife's first rD event.

This will be my first rD even staying off property since I couldn't find anything at any resort or the Swan/Dolphin/Swan Reserve property. One of my running friends is going to be down for a long weekend as well (wife is a teacher) so I'll hang with his family in Epcot on Sunday so I'll get to ride Ratatouille for the first time.

The good news is we are now taking our family trip during our son's spring break staying at the Swan Reserve. Going during Spring Break is not generally something we would do but when live gives you lemons...

SAFD : first marathon and weekend events, first solo trip with husband (his first 1/2 and full), lots of new restaurants to try this trip!

We have been training with hydration vests and I think I would like to use my vest to hold my nutrition and other stuff as the pockets are really handy. I’ve looked through the rules and it looks like they are ok, but anyone have any first hand experience?

Hydration vests are fine. They just have to be checked by security on the way to the starting line.

That's the first time I've ever been classified as fast, LOL

Quick look says it looks like the 2020 courses?

Yup... mostly... a small 5k blurb behind Remy...10k route looks different... marathon looks mostly the same, except it doesn't actually enter Blizzard Beach

SAFD:

Going to be our first time trying a few restaurants (Steakhouse 71, Splitsville, Plaza). Niece is running her first race in the 5k necessitating a retirement of the Eeyore onesie and the debut of an Angel onesie for me (I’ve never seen Lilo and Stitch or any of the associated material but my options were limited). I guess I’ll probably be going on Ratatouille for the first time (I’m not that fussed, if the line/process is long it can wait for another time).

 

[MissLiss279]

10k also goes through HS! I don’t think MW has done that before.
