I just received an email from rundisney about W&D race weekend and got really excited. Turns out it was just some helpful tips like "book a hotel, eat places and buy park tickets"

Harumph.

I received that as well, but it doesn't list ALL races were registered for. Now I have to double check all of that. Geez Disney.

Just signed up for challenge....Still contemplating where to stay. Probably Epcot area, though Dark Side Course possibility has me considering Poly. I think the talk of the brunch at CA Grille pushed me over.

Sounds like a Cali Grill Brunch meet up. I'll be the tall guy.

 

[CP3uhoh]

We decided on Beach Club, so I'm sure it will be the dark side course for the half and th poly people will get more

We're staying at Boardwalk. I wanted BC, but no availability with the military discount and I've never stayed at Boardwalk so it works! Not as convenient for Cali Brunch, but it's convenient for getting back to the room quickly after the after party!

Anyone have a map they can post of the Dark Side 10k and 1/2 course? I'm just curious to see how close the starting line is to the Poly.

Here's a pic they let me take showing the path to the TTC:

Oh my gosh! thanks! It is LITERALLY right across a parking lot! I hope they keep this for the W&D!

Awesome! If it stays this way, this will just be dumb luck that I booked the Poly instead of an EPCOT resort

I mean let's be honest - places to eat is pretty damn important.

And I still need to figure out how to eat at 25 different places for dinner on only a 5 day vacation! That's the real marathon right there

So true. I've cancelled more dining reservations than actual meals eaten. Too many choices!

The struggle is real. I make ADRs in a week and I'm just staring at my list of restaurants and the days I have trying to figure things out! LOL!

Yay! You are the same place as us! We can actually see each other more! ( or if you need my kitchen)

Yeah, it's tough mentally heading back over that direction from TTC (if it's dark course) and then heading right back to same area roughly. Especially since bus would be th best option to MK I guess from Beach Club? Or walking to monorail at Epcot I guess. But for party and 10k, very convenient. Can't have it all.

I know, I am so excited about this and hope we'll be able to see more of you guys since we're so close!

Yes, I figure we'll have to head back to the resort, shower and then bus over to MK and walk to CR. It's the easiest way from the EP resorts. and you're right, we definitely can't have everything, but wouldn't it be nice if we could! LOL!

Me too! May 4th and aside from brunch at California Grill, I'm so confused! Glad I'm not the only one
