Springtime Surprise Weekend 2024 (April 18-21)

[kps7795]

It would be about time for those!

I wonder if they would use the Rescuers?

 

[morgsmagic]

Is it me or does one of the greyed-out images behind the Challenge Poster look like Neverland? Maybe a Peter Pan medal for one of the races?

 

[fatmanatee]

Well that was a surprise lol.

And the image beside Stitch's left hand maybe looks like Pride Rock from the Lion King.

I am definitely thinking Peter Pan will be part of this.

A Springtime one?

YES

Yep. I agree.

I'm desperately trying to make the other one into paradise falls (or the poster/post card for paradise falls)

I was definitely trying to decipher the others

I think you’re both right. I can’t figure out the center left poster though, there’s just not much detail to be found.

Going to be a bit annoying when talk up this whole adventure thing and in the end the adventure you’ll be taking involved the same maps from Epcot and back.

(holding out slight hope that all this talk of adventure might bring back the AK 5k, and we’ll know if they do when they update the race page)

 

[Livelovedance]

Slowly making my way back to the DIS. It’s been a tough year but I’m officially registered for PW and had resigned myself to “just” the longest race for SS due to not being able to take off Friday… until today…

Now I’m toying with a TERRIBLE idea of flying in Thursday, picking up my bib, running the 5K and flying back home, working a half day and flying back that night for the remainder of the weekend The terrible idea really goes back to wanting to attempt a perfect race weekend. Even if it ends up not being recognized by runDisney, I love the idea that I have the opportunity to go for one. And of course, how could I pass on Stitch??

Bad idea? Absolutely. Could a lot go wrong? Of course. But is it possible?

My mind and my wallet have such a love/hate relationship with runDisney…

I agree that I think that it's Peter Pan and Lion King. Likewise, I have NO clue what that third picture is though. We need someone with Photoshop skills to lighten the picture and decipher what the image could be.

Talking about this one? Kinda looks like something involving the ocean.

 

[Nessats]

I think the third one is Up, based on the "Spirit of Adventure" dirigible in the movie and the "embrace the adventure" theme of the weekend, but I haven't been able to find a pic of a scene to match the one grayed out. It's more of a hunch on my part, I guess.

I thought that too. I hope it’s not Moana, because as much as I love Moana, it’s been done to death on Princess weekend. I don’t suppose they’d dig deep and give us Atlantis, would they?

I know this isn't an exact match to the grayed picture, but this is what I am picturing in my mind when I think it may be Up.

 

[DisneyParrothead]

Running in Makeup on IG thinks the other picture is Up as well. If these are the themes, I'll pass on Springtime next year. Since it's mid-April to begin with, and it was quite steamy this year, the themes are a make or break for me.

 

[Naomeri]

If the 3rd poster is Up, I guess that means I’m going to have to voluntarily re-traumatize myself by watching it again—that first 10 minutes is just brutal

Long time lurker but I had to comment as I found myself doing the same thing. There is a lot more detail in that third picture on their Instagram post. Looks like tropical plant leaves?

 

[DopeyBadger]

I combined the instagram image and runDisney blog image to enhance what appears to be Lion King into a single more complete image. Definitely appears to be jungle like foliage and pride rock in the background. I'm still working on the other one.
