So, I guess I'd be looking for an AP discount on a room? Never had one before so I'm not sure how that works.
With an AP, you'll be able to login to
MDE and go to Annual Passholders, You'll find resort discounts there. There have been AP rates available every year I've done PHM weekend, but I'll be honest - they're not great. I don't think the AP rate last year was any better than the GP discounts being offered. And I got a MUCH better deal going through Travelocity, which had the GP discounted rates PLUS a code for $150 off.
It says that you can only pick up your race bib, etc. at the Expo the three days before the race. So would people who ran this race before not recommend getting in the day before the race? Would that be cutting it close?
You can pick up bibs as early as the day before the first race, but you don't
have to get them that soon, so long as you do get them the day before whichever race you're doing. So if you're running the 1/2, you'll need to plan a bib pick-up on Sat., at the latest. For the 10K, Friday, and Thurs. for the 5K.
As PPs have mentioned, in regards to $, at what point does the madness stop. At some point, these race will become cost prohibitive.
We keep saying that, but they keep selling out - I'm not sure we're anywhere near the tipping point yet!
How were the shirts last year? Womens cut, true to size, were you able to exchange them for a different size?
The 5K is unisex cotton. The 10K, PHM and GSC shirts this year were tech material, womens fit and pretty true to size: I wear a petite 0-2 on top and the XS fits well enough - just a little long all over, but not too baggy, not too tight. Oddly, they were all the same style, same maker, but all 3 of mine fit differently! The 10K hangs nicely, but the neck of the PHM keeps sticking up away from my neck, and the GSC shirt does the same, but not quit as pronounced. None are as nice as my 2013 PHM shirt, sadly. That was perfection! Here's hoping for better quality control this time, lol!
This isn't going to sell out within minutes, right? It's not like buying concert tickets is it? I'm a little nervous now about not being able to register until I get home from work!
Depends on the race... I don't honestly think minutes, but an hour sellout wouldn't' surprise me for GSC and maybe the 10K. PHM I don't see going as fast. 5K is the wildcard... rumor of a Frozen theme could be enough to make it go lightning fast!
I must say, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to drive over. We followed the directions from the friendly folks at the Expo (taking into consideration the road closures) and had no trouble whatsoever. I did wake up extra early to get a head start on the road and I don't regret it. I left my hotel at 2:30 to head to my friend's hotel two miles down the street. Once I picked her up, I'd say it was only 15 minutes MAX before we were being gestured into our parking spot for the run. We used the extra time to stretch, use the bathroom (a few times
), and overall decompress and settle our nerves.
I'll back this up... and I stayed on WDW property! But I drove to the 5K and 10K and was literally there within 10 mins from walking out my door at CBR. I'll totally drive again, regardless of where I stay!
Hi guys!
I'm back for 2015 again, although I decided against the GSC this time and am going to just focus on the half this year.
Hi again!
Here's to a MUCH better PHM for you in 2015!
I'm looking for a link. (Saw it on FB)
I am sooo excited for a Frozen theme though. Praying hard I can do it. 
Whatever keeps her moving!
I'm going to talk with dh tonight and try and convince him we need to do this.
