ummm, I think Jeff is taking a hiatus 2011.
Not sure though as he has said that before.

Sadly, my DH & I won't be doing any WDW races in 2011. I'd love to do the full or perhaps the Goofy, but we have several commitments throughout the fall that would make training difficult, if not impossible.

I'm hoping for 2012, but DH isn't as enthusiatic about it as I am, which is weird because he is the more serious runner.

Good luck with your decision.

I don't think I will be down for any Disney events in 2011.
I really loved Goofy '10 but DH...not so much. He isn't a Disney fan and is not into an active lifestyle. He was supportive of me going this year, but prefers it as a once in a lifetime event.

My goal is to see how many states I can do fulls in, so, going back to Disney anytime soon doesn't suit that goal anyway.

I'm not sure yet . My daughter will likely be in a dance competition in January, and if the schedule is the same next year as it was this year it will be the same weekend as the Disney Marathon. That would really suck, because I really want to make this an annual event! Hopefully I will know in the next couple of months so that I can still register if possible.

Honestly, I'm not sure if I can stand staying away! Maybe after the first year of the competition it will be OK with my daughter if I'm not there with her.

Kimmer I'm thinking maybe the marathon but not sure. I have a huge lifestyle change going since my divorce was signed by the Judge today. I'll let you know when I know. Maybe we can meet up at a race somewhere anyway.

Right now, I am NOT planning on going. Bye Bye Perfectly Goofy. Like Dave, I have new lifestyle decisions going on in our family and Disney races(or any other races) don't fit in.

Thanks all, we are thinking along the same lines. Money needs to be spent in other areas and disney races are getting so expensive but we would miss it big time.

Hope I ahve lots of time to make a decision....and it doesn't sell out quickly this year.

I hear you.

You will have lots of time as long as not only looking to do the Half. Marathon Basically didn't fill and the Goofy took until August after they upped it to 7500. Without the 5th Anniversary, it will probably take longer.

 

[Cinderrunner]

I am planning on the full only!

 

[joan4mickey]

I'd like to do the Full..it would be my first full and I have a goal of "full before 50" and if I don't do it, I won't make my goal. The weather this year really scared me. I was at WDW last week and it was 80+ everyday-that I can do.

I have no interest in going back in 2011. The Disney races I have done have been great and I enjoyed watching my son run the 1/2 in 2008 and running with my daughter in the 1/2 this year. My problem with Disney is that they are pricing their events at the point that I feel taken advantage of. It is their right to charge what they want and mine to choose not to buy.

If I do run another Disney race, it will be an anniversary one like the 25th marathon.

 

[MouseDogMom]

Right now, we're not planning on returning in 2011. That could change, but if we do anything it will be just the Half. DD19 is running her first half in May, and has said if she likes it she may want to try Disney. Don't know if it will be 2011, but possibly. Like everyone else, the cost is getting prohibitive, and even though Disney couldn't control the weather, I was unhappy with the way they managed a lot of things during the weekend. I'd rather run more races during the year somewhere else.

Doesn't look like we will be going back in January. I do plan on running the half in October though.

I am starting to train for some tri's and marathon training just doesn't fit in unless I do a full Ironman. That is a few years off at best

I doubt I'd ever go just for the half because other than Magic Kingdom it is a pretty boring race course.

But, I have plenty of time to decide.

enjoy,
Duane

After 2 marathons and 2 Goofys I am not planning on returning to Disney for a while (may return for 20th marathon or 10th Goofy). The cost has just gotten to high (and I don't even have to fly) and some of the thrill is gone. I love Disney but enough is enough. There are other races that I would like to give a try like Myrtle Beach. I will miss seeing everyone!!

 

[goofyinohio]

I'll likely be returning for 2011, but I'm really not sure for which race yet. If I didn't have an annual pass I'd likely be skipping 2011. So many half Marathons I'd like to do, but I'm not sure I'd travel for those like I do for Disney.

 

[mousemgr2]

I am more than likely going to sit out 2011. There are so many other non-Disney races we are wanting/planning on doing.

 

[mkymsehi]

I won't be back.

 

[Hockeychic]

Thanks everyone for the input, I have been thinking the same thing as many of you, these events are just getting to expensive, but I really like seeing all my friends...tough call.

Can you call come up to Canada and do a race so I still get to see everyone
