I had credits to use for a canceled flight, and even then I had to pay some out of pocket. Granted, I added half of the out of pocket amount with Early Bird...SWA flights opened today, but they are insane from SoCal anyway…. I’m waiting to buy, but maybe for others the prices are better
All of that information can be found in this thread: https://www.disboards.com/threads/pot-proof-of-time-race-equivalency-cutoff-confirmed-times.3699036/I have a question maybe someone can answer. Usually a 10K is good for the half marathon for a POT time. Does anyone know what a good POT time for a 10K would be to qualify for different corrals?
runDisney seems to have done away with all kids races at Disney World... They haven't announced the races and themes yet but it's unlikelyWill they have any kids races this year?
They have been retired for WDW at the moment at least through the 24-25 season could they come back on 25-26 or a later season possibly but I wouldn’t expect it…. if your kid is old enough and has the endurance for a 5k those are more of a fun run and there are lots of younger participantsWill they have any kids races this year?
Hi @Princess Bossypants you came to the right spot for finding great information on all things run Disney. I will say as someone who is working on PoT for the half marathon distance at Disney (I don't do the challenges like goofy or dopey), the charts that @DopeyBadger put together are amazing. And I will also add that the most "forgiving" pace of the PoT distances, as I have learned, is the full marathon -- but most of us don't typically run fulls for our PoT (lol). The next best bet is the 10 miler distance, followed by the half marathon and then the 10k. In other words, yes, you can use the 10k distance to qualify for a PoT for a half marathon at Disney but the pace requirement is a little tougher than if you use a 10 miler or another half marathon to qualify. @DopeyBadger did I get that right?I have a question maybe someone can answer.

Yes, this was it!! LOL! So I had it wrong, Thank you so much for weighing in @DopeyBadger!!In my opinion (and based on some math), the standards would go M, 10 miler, 10k, HM (from easiest to hardest) based on the conversion value runDisney appears to be using for HM POT submissions. The same "mathematical advantage" difference does not exist in the case of the M/Goofy/Dopey POT submittable times. They all use what appears to be the same R value (around 1.079) and thus from the race equivalency standpoint are roughly equal. Thus, the ranked order of "easiness" would then default back to race distance (10 miler, then HM, then M) in the case of M/Goofy/Dopey POT submissions.
