Shout out to the absolute dudes who are using the pool right now for some reason?

They had to have a lot fewer Goofy bibs this year. It was sold out before I could register, and I was in fairly quick.

I registered for Dopey, but I'd prefer to just run the weekend.

Goofy has had right around or less than 1000 bibs for several years now.

so kind of odd....B for Dopey but C for 5k and 10k

Half and full based on your PoT

5k &10k based on your pace estimate

I think the 8-10 min/mile estimates were spread across B-D last year because there were so many.

Had a feeling that might happen. So many people entering fast pace estimates that they have to split the corrals. We’ll see what I get in a bit.

How do these hotels know who the runners are? Did you guys make a note at check in?

I’ve never noted it on my reservation, but got a little something from housekeeping after a race once - I assume they saw all my race clothes hanging in the bathroom to dry and made an educated guess lol!

You must tell us your secret for getting these BG!

Google ‘BG1 Lightning Lane’. A GitHub website.
I’m not sure where I heard about it. It has the official countdown clock, and you still have to click ‘Join Queue’.

Yeah… I’m corral D for the 5k/10k this year with the 8-10 pace.

ETA: and Corral B with my 1:55:48 half time.

I’d guess they’re mapping the race list with hotel reservations. Got in late last night and got the welcome gift on my door. My room is also further off and I’m wondering if they’re grouping racers to make it easier to sleep.

Yeah.. it is what it is. I’ll make the most of it and still enjoy it. It’s runDisney!
I may not be able to rope drop Hollywood Studios tomorrow like I originally planned.

Thought I would point out if anyone needs a new medal hanger. There really reasonably priced for both a hanger and being runDisney. Only 30. Which compared to the 50 I usually see them go for is good

Also bib pickup line is one of the worst I’ve seen in a long time. Deceptively long. Be prepared for a long wait

It kinda stinks! If you have a POT they should be able to use that for the 5k/10k bib. Then sort the rest of the field out.

Confirmed. Line is way out from the building.

Just got to the expo. Was standing in a line that turned into being a hybrid check in line and beer line. Lol. Dang the VQ is moving slow.

 

[DisneyMountainWoman]

By the time I got in which was 10:20ish Dopey sweatshirt already sold out

 

[jrsharp21]

Saw all the people waiting to pounce once their group is called. Again, glad I pre-ordered the jacket.
