I’ve sort of expected them to post pictures about three months prior to race weekend at this point. Last year they posted on July 18.

Sorry, one question: does anyone actually 'race' the runs? Or is it more an experience and worth taking your time over?

I did the W&D half in 2019. I trained really hard for it and was in Coral B. I really wanted to see how fast I could run a half so was torn. I decided to stop my watch at all the character stops and restart it. It was actually only a 8-10 minute difference in the two times. i had so much fun and so many great pictures.

Hello everyone! I had a question about the virtual queue for the expo and thought someone here might know. I am flying in on Thursday morning and I don't get to MCO until around 11:00 AM. If I am linked to a friend on MDE and they are within the mileage range to join the virtual queue for the merchandise area at 8:30 when it opens, will it let me be a member of their party? Or does everyone in the group have to be within the mileage range for that work? Thanks in advance!

Yes …
As long as you are linked to that person in mde and they select you as part of their party you are good to go….

For anyone flying Southwest, they’re having a big sale for fall flights using the code 40OFF —I checked, and my flights (if I were doing W&D this year) would be $30-40 off each way. The sale ends tomorrow, so check soon

I'm booked on points but I was able to shave 350 points off.

I was able to book my flights roundtrip and saved over $100 from what it was last week! My return flight on Monday the 6th is at 8:15 PM (because it was $100) so I guess I just added another park day. Whoops.

Thanks Naomeri! With a few clicks, I “changed” my return flight to the exact same flight and got a credit of a little over $100.

I’m back with another money-saving opportunity! Fall room discounts are available for the general public, Disney+ subscribers and AP (though the dates vary for each offer)

I wasn't able to get anything cheaper for my November stay unfortunately.

I just got on to see if the room for our September stay would be cheaper with the D+ discount than the "up to 25%" discount we are currently using, and there's a queue up and running for booking rooms this morning.

ETA: so the D+ isn't for my dates, but ONE NIGHT at the poly in a studio on a Thursday was over $900???? What the heck.

Yeah I checked to see if I could stomach paying cash over borrowing points, and the answer is no. Nope-nope-nopedy-nope.

I looked at the AP rates for Mods and then laughed and laughed before booking a Value. Over $300/night for Port Orleans (I forget which, but it doesn’t
matter - it’s insane for either!)?! Hard pass, Mouse.

Anyone have experience with submitting a POT for a 10k? If I was reading the chart in this thread it just has to be under 1:00? I ran the Grandma’s half this last Saturday and came in at 2:17:19 while my husband came in under the POT. I had watch issues, so I didn’t realize I was that close, so now trying to figure out if I want to find another half or do one or two 10ks between now and Aug 1st.

Grain of salt so I don’t know if we should “talk about” it but apparently there is a casting call for a friend of Bruno… idk if this will be for party season and/or the Half especially with it being Encanto themed

I don’t think you submit POTs for the 10k, just an estimated finish time.

As @nancipants said, there's no POT option for 10K races at Disney - you just select your estimated pace. However, if you're registering for a half (or 10 miler), you can use another 10K race as POT. Sometimes the specific time requirements shift a bit from race to race, but it looks like it's been about 1:01 the past few years.

I think poster wanted to submit a 10k as their half pot
