Marathon Weekend 2026

[CaliforniaGirl09]

I was in A right next to the stage and still couldn’t hear anything. I consider this a feature and not a bug. I really enjoyed my time at the races, and looking back, I guess it’s because I didn’t have to listen to Carissa’s gibbering blasted into my ears.

OMG I thought I was the only one!!! After 19 race weekends ... ugh.

They seemed to have the volume turned down a bit this past MW compared other to other past races, but it has been so loud in the past that I've started bringing earplugs. I get that they want to provide pre-run entertainment, but I'm also good with less pre-race noise. Back when we lined up on the road outside Epcot, you could even do a catnap in the corral.

I have been by the speakers before and it was painfully loud! Now that I think about it, I didn't hear much this year, it was so quiet. Or maybe I've just heard the pre-race pep talks so many times that I just tune them out now

I definitely wear earbuds and listen to music while in the corrals. I just cant deal, otherwise. It’s sensory overload!

Does anyone have any experience with missing photos and possible response times I had one character stop, Kylo Ren, that hasn't shown up in MDE. I messaged through the MDE app on the 13th and got an automated email, and nothing since them.

Its not a huge deal, and if it hadn't been a Star Wars character probably would haven't even said anything, but just curious if I should take the two weeks as a sign they didn't find anything or if the Photopass folks are pretty good about responding even if its a negative?

I had my missing pics within 2 days, I think. I would try calling them or submitting again. If you can give them a decent time frame and a pic of you that day wearing the same clothes, I have found they can usually find it.

Thank you! I was able to give them what I believe was a pretty accurate time (I had a picture of the mile marker just after where he was) and a picture of me from another stop near by. I'll try calling when I have some time probably end of the week. Guess the app isn't probably the best way to do it.

Thank you again!
