What are the "extras" that come with a package

[sweetmama17]

I just booked my room for marathon weekend and even though it's room only it's considered a package since I booked through RunDisney.

It looks like the mini golf is included....Do I have to use it for the dates of the package (we are AP holders and go often). Does the marathon expo cost to get in where I would need to sue it for that instead?

It also says there are WDTC extras. What are those?

And what are the chances of applying an AP discount to the room when those come out?

Thanks!

There is no cost to enter the Disney Run Event expos. They take your money inside the expo. They will lighten your wallet a lot.

I'm pretty worthless with your actual questions, but just curious, can you just book a room only reservation not via RunDisney? Is there extra availability via RunDisney?

You can book room only for 2018 not via rundisney, I think every thing is rack rate still. It was about $7 a night cheaper via runDisney though I'm hopeful for a discount though.

Got it. We're AP and my wife is running the marathon as well. She's about to book rack rate and then 'hope' she can apply a general public or AP discount when/if one is available, although we're prepared for the pickin's to be pretty slim that weekend. .

You should investigate booking with a travel agent that has blocks of rooms for marathon weekend. We're AP holders too and I booked our 2018 marathon weekend rooms with a discount right after the race this year. I doubt there will be many public/AP offers because of how the holiday falls this year. Many schools are out that week.

Extras are the mini golf that must be used before 4 pm, during your resort stay, coupons for Disney springs shopping, coupons for water craft rentals at the resorts, and (I think) luggage tags.

Can you PM me names of TAs that do? I've never used a travel agent and am curious. I booked CSR for 237 a night (with tax) but would love to pay less or get something like the cabins.

I'm curious where you'll pick GADD...I see you all over the CL thread. LOL

MY DH is running the marathon and my youngest who will be 11 is running the 10K with me. We booked a Deluxe CL room at the BC not long after we signed up in the winter through RunDisney. It is a bit cheaper than rack and if better rates come out that tempt me I might change it but it's about 80/20 that we'll stay put. We're also celebrating our 20th Anniversary that week and last big trip before my oldest graduates HS.
