Has anyone got their park tickets with RunDisney?
I am wondering the cost. Trying to way out get AP vs the 4day PH with RunDisney
TIA
Has anyone booked AOA through RunDisney for Feb? Just curious as to how much of a discount they take off? Rack rate is 169 for the night I am looking at (staying at BLT the rest of the week). Anyone have any luck with getting the AAA discount that week?
Yay!!! Glad you decided to do it!!
Amy (DeerIsle) are you doing it, or did you decide not too since you are doing the DL 1/2? Any other NH/ME/MA area princesses interested in joining us?
I didn't buy mine yet, but I plan on getting the 4-day hopper and I wrote down the price of being $226.85 through RunDisney.

I thought it was interesting that all the disney resorts were listed as host resorts so I called rundisney to ask about it. I was told that the race had gotten so big that they have to use all the resorts as hosts.
I was confused though because I was told that if I didn't book through rundisney that I would not be guaranteed transportation. (I have an AP and want to use that discount to book a room.) The agent told me they were considering using vouchers or something that you get at check-in that would give you access to transportation.
Has anyone else heard this?
Merci

I really hope that's not the case! I'm planning on getting an AP when we go this Oct, and I was hoping to use it for a room discount for both trips.
I find it that unlikely that there wouldn't be transport for those who don't use Run Disney for their rooms. We are DVC and are staying at the BCV on points. The website says that there is transport for all host hotels as a perk of doing the race. It doesn't say that you have to book through them. Just my two cents....
Yay! My adored dad died from complications of esophegeal and lung cancers, so I always strongly applaud anyone who has the strength to kick the addiction!
Jelly beans are for your "fuel". People use various things to give them energy during the race - gels, chews, "sport beans" which are jelly bellies, basically and some people just use plain old jelly beans of gummy bears.Congrats on quiting smoking and becoming a healthier you!!
When you get up into the longer runs it's a good idea to use some fuel on the run. There are lots of things out there. Jelly Belly makes sports beans that are jelly beans with some extras as far as energy and electrolytes. Some people like Honey Stingers, Gu, Cliff shots, Cliff Blocks. All do basically the same thing but in a different form. I've used Gu and Cliff shots which are flavored gels. They are about the consistency of cake icing. The thing to do is find what works for you and your stomach. HTH.
Thanks that makes sense
Congrats on the quitting!Your post made me realize that this February will be my 6th year anniversary of quitting!
I am probably going to be racing as Ursula, so you better watch out for me, hehehehehe![]()
Yay for 6 years! I find it hard to believe I a almost at 5 years
I love Ursula!!!!

Started running the half marathon Program, watching what I eat and gained back 20 lbs of the weight I lost! I am eating less then I was a year ago and what I eat is healthier. Ugh! The personal trainer at my gym said to increase my food, I do that and more weight comes on. So frustrated! I tell people I am training for a half and they give me this, "yeah right" look. I ran 6 miles this morning but no one believes me because I don't look thin and bone skinny like most runners. I run 4x a week like the program says to, rock cling 2x a week and try to swim or walk days I don't run. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I haven't run a race in (gulp) 9 years and I WANT to do this in 2013. I'm 34, have lost 22 lbs since May on WW and have about 35 ish more to go.
I want to do this for ME but I would prefer to buddy up and run with someone but, alas, I don't have any takers ;-)
I also have to figure out the finances-- for those who have done this before:
Is it feasible to stay off property and still feel like you got at least most of the experience or is it just a total pain in the you know where?
If staying on property for 2 nights, for just the hotel room-- what's the price range per night at minimum?
Would you rather stay on property and forego the Retreat OR do the Retreat and stay off property?
Do you dress up for the race? Why / why not out of curiosity?
Have you done it alone? What was your experience?
Thanks for your help!

That is what I said to the CM that I talked to but she said they were doing it for the marathon weekend and probably the princess. I hope not!!
