Official Wine & Dine 2014

[Ariel484]

HELP!! I just verified that my husband is in the system and they have the proof of time. I can't find me. I have the confirmation emails. When I search myself, they say they can't find me in the system. I sent an email just now to disney. Anything else I should do? Thanks.

Did you typo your name or DOB when you signed up? My brother did that one year and we couldn't find his waiver at first. If you have a confirmation you should be okay. Good luck!!

 

[Ariel484]

Never mind. I typed by birthday wrong in the registration. I am off by one day. That's what I get for trying to register multiple people at once. Thanks anyway.

Whew! you may want to let runDisney know so they can correct it in their system.

I think I read that they will start verifying times after today, so I don't think ANYONE has a verified time yet. :

I just updated anyway as it had my "unverified proof of time" at the top, but not my race details below. I figured it couldn't hurt to update, just in case. I do have a confirmation email also, so hopefully between the two, I'm all set!

Mine were off 1 day as well. Odd that others were as well.

After seeing the kids medals- I am so glad I signed-up DD7 for her race again this year. The Duffy medal is adorable. Thanks for posting!

Not sure how I feel about the purple half medal. I might have to have it on Epcot side all the time.

Yay! It's my first Wine and Dine and I would have been very sad if I didn't get to experience them during the run.

Anyone know about International Gateway entry and exit during the race and during the after party? We are staying at Beach Club and my husband and kids want to see my run by the boardwalk then meet me in the after party. I read somewhere not long ago that the international gateway entrance might be exit only during the race?

I'm trying to budget how much $ I'll need for souvenirs. Does anyone know how much the champion race jackets usually run? I have one from Marathon weekend last year that I love, but I forget how much I paid.

As I've only run the race, I cannot be 100% certain, but it looked like there were people entering and exiting from International Gateway. It is a tad bit harder to get to, as most of the pathway from the Dolphin to IG is partitioned off for the race, but still accessible.

I am attending a continued education course the week before the W&D 1/2 Marathon in Orlando... so added a few more days afterwards to be able to race, but it is just me staying...are there a lot of solo runners that do this race?

I ran solo last year and may again this year. Had a blast!

I've not run W&D solo but have run a couple of other RunDisney races solo. Will be running W&D solo this year. I actually prefer running races solo

I actually prefer to run solo myself, and after watching some of the youtube videos of the past races, it looks like the party afterwards is fantastic...
Just curious just how many people stay for the party...as I usually am pretty sweaty after 13.1 miles...so wondering how odiferous the crowd is? I am assuming I could maybe put a change of clothes/etc. in a gear bag that will be at the finish line?

Any other hints from experienced runner? I am a compulsive planner, so not knowing all of the details is stressing me out a little already..

Thanks for any insight..

The first year I ran it I changed clothes. The second year, I just brought a different shirt and left on my running shorts. I don't notice it being too smelly walking around the park A lot of people attend the party. It's nice! Depending on when you finish and get into the park, World Showcase can be quite empty and it's nice to walk around and eat snacks from the booths. Last year, when I was leaving, lines were starting to get long.

DH is running it solo...I will be on the trip with a friend, but she and I will be at the spectator event in epcot while DH is running. We will head to the finish line when we get the text that he's close

Are there usually any Dooney and Bourke purses available at the Wine and Dine half marathon? I really like the "run around the World" bags and I see that there is a "run around the Land" available for the Disney Land race.
Thanks

I didn't see any last year. They have only been doing the special Dooney patterns for WDW Marathon, Disneyland Half, Princess Half and Tinkerbell Half. But who knows, maybe they'll do a pattern for the anniversary year?

As cool as it would probably be, my bank account would be happier without it.
