Wine and Dine 2015

[SunDial]

I live in South Florida and y'all can have that 40 degree weather. I would like maybe upper 50 to low 60 for running

I have a transportation question...we'll be staying at the Swan. How easy can we get to a host hotel to hop on transportation to both the race expo and the race start? We may or may not have a car, and we wanna make sure this will be doable...

Any info appreciated...at least we can walk back from Epcot after the party...

The Yacht & Beach Club and Boardwalk are both host resorts, and very easy to walk to from the Swan.

I had my local 7K this morning. Weather was perfect for it, and I did pretty well considering I have a cold and the course had quite a few hills in it. Finished with my best pace since I've started running outside again in the last couple weeks. The adrenaline of being in an event is always good for keeping me moving.

Oh, and my favorite running temps are upper 40s - low 50s. That's not likely to happen in FL, though, so I'd take 50s-60s.

I'm also from South Florida and I do like it when it gets pretty cold but I've come to realize that all the waiting around for the Disney races to start when it's cold is not fun, it's better if it's a little bit warmer than to be freezing for hours before the race.For example I did Goofy this year but we were there to be spectators for the 10K and the cold on Friday made my mom sick and wake up on Saturday feeling like ****,she sounded and felt horrible and had to stay in the hotel.I ventured off to the race freezing my tail off as the wind made it feel even colder than Friday,then ventured inside a merchandise tent just to get out of the cold until as close as possible to race time,once we started I was fine,I could have used something to cover my face at times but overall it was good.My mom slept all the way from like 6pm the night before until 9am and amazingly all the sleep made her feel 1000% better for the rest of the weekend,basically when you're not used to it too much cold is not good,luckily we weren't there on Thursday for the Frozen 5K.For the Wine and Dine the chances of real cold weather is very slim,cool is very possible but nothing too cold.I think I would handle the cold better on a night race instead of the morning January races where you have to get up and deal with those super low temps,at 10pm it's not the coldest time of the day and your body is warmed up from walking around all day.

Random question...I booked our hotel room before we had our flights booked. I have them booked now and was going to go in and request DME transport and add our flight info, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get back to that. Anybody that can tell me how to do that onine, or do I have to call to do it?

I know you can do it online because I hate the phone (and have been procrastinating calling rD to book rooms ) and did it online for our trip last Dec... but I can't remember exactly where it is. It's in there, though!

@ZellyB @Miranda I have the link saved in my email because it is one of the older Disney pages, I don't think you can even access this anymore from their webpage since they upgraded everything. But I always use it, and it has worked fine for a couple of years now at least It is definitely worth bookmarking if you go often:

Anybody done the Chicago marathon,I just put myself in the lottery and if I get in I'm definitely doing it.What are the chances to get in,like 50/50??It's like a month before Wine and Dine and it would mean not running the Halloween Half in Miami Beach but I told myself I wanted to do different races this year coming up.I had always done ToT and the MB Halloween half for my Fall races,the Chicago marathon and Wine and Dine would definitely change it up.

Running a 5K this morning .. Haven't run outside all winter.. Should be interesting!! I just keep telling myself I'll use it as my starting point!
PS - It's 28 degrees feels like 14.

Good luck! That is going to be a cold run, but hopefully you have fun!

Awesome! Thank you!!!

I hate calling if I can do it online.

I've never done it, but it's on my bucket list some day. I sort of hate that they've gone to the lottery though. My DH and I usually run together and the lottery would make me nervous about only one of us getting in. But, if that happened, whoever didn't get in would just get to be the world's best spectator. Good luck on getting in!!!

I don't have it bookmarked (I bookmark too many things and don't organize, can never find anything), but it comes up if you Google magical express online reservation, just in case you lose the link! Which I always do!

Are you a Disney Vacation Planner? I really want to get into the line of travel planning/agent but know it's pretty tough to get into. Any tips would be really helpful!

Thanks All !! It warmed up a little bit by the time the race started. Wasn't my best race ever but I was kind of expecting that since I haven't run in a while. Training starts this week!! Woohooo!!
