Marathon Weekend 2026

[Mr_Incr3dible]

You can definitely just decline the box. No idea what they do with the leftovers but I'd hope it gets some use elsewhere.

Princess weekend, then SS…

I made it here a little after lunch today. I would imagine @garneska was caught in the same slowdown on the turnpike that I was. The really bad part was that the accident was on the northbound side, so I’m not sure why southbound had to be down to 3 miles an hour.
@Stitch&Co. called out to me as I was about to go into the expo area and we talked for a few minutes. Glad you did. I will freely admit that I am the world’s worst at recognizing people “in the wild.” We went to brunch the other day, and everyone else in my family recognized the Falcons quarterback Penix sitting there at a table with his family, and I would not have known that was him unless he had come up and introduced himself. FWIW, I might recognize Joe Namath or Terry Bradshaw if I were to see them in person… (Yes, fill in your own punchlines). Maybe Peyton Manning or Mahomes simply because you can’t watch anything without seeing them in a commercial.

I do not have a single set of long pants with me. The closest thing I have are running tights in case this cool front shows up early, but I’ve been quite comfortable in a T-shirt and shorts all day.

The expo was very sedate, especially given the pictures I saw from yesterday. The lines were almost nonexistent. The longest I stood in any line was to say hi to Jeff Galloway. I had pre-ordered the race jacket and am pleased with it. In another radical departure from my usual Self, I bought a pair of the castle shoes and will be wearing them to walk around tomorrow. And the shirts are everything that we have been saying that they look like they are, so not the best work by run Disney. The merchandise shirts for the various races were better than the race shirts in many respects.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at HH tomorrow.

DD had a great time this morning! DH had to chase her for the first mile, and then the 2nd mile was a little rough because the early wake-up and light breakfast was getting to her. But she had a great finish and had so much fun.

Too adorable!! Love that she really got in character!

 

[Jason Bryer]

Really curious what POT got you in B vs A if you don’t mind sharing!

Sure. I used. 1:56 half from 2024. Last year it got me in A when I did dopey. This year doing goofy put me in B. I just showed her my Strava and didn't realize I had a 1:53 half form October 2023.

First time starting at Saratoga springs and delighted that the first bus never showed up and we’re apparently getting 3 at once at 3a lol

 

[Dopey 2020]

GOOD MORNING 10K runners! Parked and heading in now, why do we do this to ourselves again?

 

[The Expert]

On the bus at BW!

Update: Still in the bus at BW. I think it's finally filled up enough to go.

 

[The Expert]

The Joffrey's kiosk up by Epcot entrance is open! Don't recall ever seeing that this early before.

 

[Grabnar]

Leak looks right so far
Chipmunks, duffy, dopey, and the rescue rangers guys

Is today another day that they have to hold the buses to return to the resorts to allow the latter corrals to pass? Or is that only in the 5k?

Pretty sure that’s only the 5k.

 

[pluto377]

Sorry I missed you guys again this morning. Been sleeping in a bit the past two days. See you later at mini golf and HH.

I drove out of our villa area and past the bus line at 2:45 and it looked like a long line. Glad I was driving and not waiting for the bus.

Sorry didn’t make it to the meet up today. Went to bed with a migraine and woke up with it still lingering. So parked and slept in the car as long as possible.

 

[PaDisneyCouple]

Ahh 10k day.
We’re with you in spirit at the BW cheering you on like we did in 2020.
And remembering fondly how we watched the legendary story of Rogue Two come to life.

 

[The Expert]

Leaked character list is spot on. I'm in line for Darkwing at America.

10k
Parking Lot: Duffy, Munks, Dopey, Fat Cat & Monterey Jack

Goofy 0.29
Daisy 0.61
Agent P 1.75
Nick & Judy 2.04
Miguel 2.52
Darkwing 2.85
Rescue Ranger Munks 3.66
Donald 4.26
Lewis 4.38
Jose 4.77
Mira 5.31
Mirabel Bruno 5.56
Mickey & Minnie Finish

I think the only difference for me was that I had Wilbur instead of Lewis from Meet the Robinsons. I stopped for Wilbur and Mira, because the lines were only 2 people long.

 

[The Expert]

I had Lewis, and the line was short. People in the Darkwing line were looking at the list and didn't know who Lewis was, so I'm guessing a lot of people don't know the movie. Sad, as it's one of my favs.

 

[nancipants]

Good luck to everyone running the 10k! See y’all at Hurricane Hanna’s!
