Marathon Weekend 2022

[Baloo in MI]

SAFD:
Ok, I narrowed it down to three items:

1) My 20+ year old Disneyland Fleece. Nothing really special, it just has held up forever, keeps me warm and it says Disneyland!

2) My Disney Dad hat that my youngest bought me. It came with a card were she talked about how our time as a family in the parks are so special to her and that she treasures the memories. My heart was full!

3). My dad found these old Disneyland ride tickets and bought them for me. Not sure what I will do with them yet, but for now fun to look at the history and imagine deciding what E-ticket ride I am going on.

Here are a few examples. It’s a lot of fun to have so many movies and characters represented.

This is really fun and unique. I found one online, says it's the last one. Not sure I can swing the price tag but I'm thinking about it. Hehe.

SAFD: I'm not into Disney merchandise, but I do have this autograph book from when I was five and first went to Disney World in 1995 that I've kept around. And I'm very into Marie Kondoing, so it must bring me some joy!

I have the same book! I actually still bring it with me and try to get one autograph each trip.

SAFD favorite memorabilia :
my Dole Whip making machine

now what’s this about a dole whip making machine?

SAFD: I hate clutter and don't like a lot of "stuff" hanging around, and I'm a local on a budget, so I don't buy much at WDW. But I do have a habit of buying ceramic mugs from WDW resorts when I stay at them - I use them every day for coffee, so they get well-used and are limited to one per resort.

For this week’s Sundays are for Disney, what’s your favorite Disney keepsake, souvenir or piece of memorabilia? For this question, medals are not included.

[JAMIESMITH]

SAFD: The sweater I'm holding in this picture and the perfume from the Norway Pavillion are my two favorite Disney souveniers.

SAFD: This is easy....I don't have one. I'm not a "stuff" kind of person, and I don't really care to shop, so I can't really think of anything that I have ever bought at Disney for myself. When I took my kids, they would do penny presses and pins (which I still have....anyone a collector?) Like @PCFriar80, I also played Millionaire, but I think I only kept one pin and let the kids trade the rest, and the hat and shirt didn't fit.

Now if we ever have a "Sundays Aren't for Disney" version of souvenirs, I will gladly offer up my favorite souvenir: A stuffed moose that turns inside out into a Saab. (From a work trip to Saab in Sweden. They used to do a moose test for frontal/side impact)

now what’s this about a dole whip making machine?

It is really a ice cream/sherbet making machine (with a compressor) in which I use official Pineapple Dole Whip Soft Serve mix. We all got real nostalgic about Disney and Hawaii last summer and splurged. Best impulsive pandemic buy ever!

 

[EPCOT-O.G.]

SAFD: Got into running in my early 20's. Did a few 5Ks and got bitten by the bug. Did the 2006 WDW Marathon, my first ever. Didn't know what I was doing but finished. Kept at it, and five years later (with new wife and child in tow) did NYC in 2011. Life and injuries have hampered me from keeping up with running, but slogged through DL Star Wars Half in 2016. Did 5K Virtual Run with my wife and three kids last September *on* the WDW property. (pro-tip: Grand Floridian staff aren't terribly accommodating at helping you find water). Eagerly hoping to see some news on summer virtual series or WDW Marathon 2022.

PS - got out and did a full six miles injury and pain free today!

Thanks, I just signed up! Going big-time for my first marathon.

SAFD: I don’t tend to buy too much since I’m a local. Favorite souvenir right now are some pens I got at Yacht Club. Subtle hint of Disney.

As did I. Wanted to get in a marathon distance this year, and this is a great way to do it.

I feel like I'm kinda cheating going virtual - for all things, Boston! - but everything else in life this last year has gone virtual, and, let's be honest - this is the closest I am ever getting to competing.

Can someone tell me if it has to be done during specific days or can you shift it around? Say the weekend before or after?

I don’t know how this is run, to be honest. I’ve done other virtual runs where I’ve gotten the medals after neglecting / forgetting to enter my time. I feel like this may be more rigid but need to check

From the BAA website. "The virtual Boston Marathon will be held October 8-10, 2021. Participants may run their 26.2 miles anytime and anywhere during the October 8-10, 2021 race window to earn their finisher medal."

It also has to be done with one continuous run... you can’t break it up into multiple runs to add up to 26.2 miles.

plus the virtual marathon medal will be different from the live run medal. In any case, it will still have the unicorn on the medal

I wonder if they will use Strava to verify runs like the NYC Marathon did.

SAFD:


I got my first charm in November 2014 (the day after the collection was released) and have gotten a charm on each trip since.
