Marathon Weekend 2026


That moment when you call tell someone messed up your POT since your bib is all the way up in the 28000s. And you have a 1:49 POT for the half. And you used that POT before without problem

Like I’m a handcycle so it doesn’t matter overall but it’s more than a bit annoying.
 
215xx dopey with 1:34 10-mile. A bit higher number than last year (214xx) using same POT which usually puts me in B!

Highly recommend the DVC tour. I did it (two of us got one $200 gift card total) in December. Took about an hour on the dot. We stopped and scheduled it a day or two before at the DVC stand at our hotel. Low pressure and I didn’t get any phone calls because I never granted permission in the system for them to call me lol, so just got a few emails.
 
I love staying at Poly on race weekends because of the monorail transportation! We like to walk to the TTC and take the monorail straight from there. For the marathon in 2024, I remember waking up at 2:50, eating (a lot of) graham crackers, getting ready, then doing a really slow jog to the TTC to get the blood flowing. I took a picture of the Epcot ball as we went around it and see the time stamp is 3:35. I was happy to get there early for a 5:00 start, but felt like I could have left even a bit later :)

Thank you, this is incredibly helpful!
 
Ftr not the first handcycle that’s had there POT just have this happen to. (Literally seen this happen to the division winners before). Like in the ultimate scheme of things it doesn’t matter since we start in the front. But it doesn’t show how bad Disney can be about checking their POTs at time.

This same POT got A/A for Chills and Thrills. And I wasn’t expecting that again because Dopey. But I was definitely not expecting what is definitely G
 
Any secret codes for determining corrals?
As always, if you have a POT, you *should* be able to reference the POT chart to determine your corral. This day is more about making sure you're on track to be in that corral and if you're not, to be ready to make a visit to Runner Relations (apologies @StarGirl11).

I feel like they occasionally switch the leading digits for bib numbers for each race but looks like 2xxxx is Dopey this year (I think it was also last year?). And as per usual we won't know much about corral placement for 5k/10k for Dopey bibs since that's based on pace estimates. For now it sounds like 20xxx for A, 21xxx for B, 22xxx for C, always a possibility that there might be some overflow on bib #s if too many people mark themselves with certain POTs.
