Marathon Weekend 2020

Same here. Maybe they’re not ready yet?

I was only able to make the link work on the mobile app. It wouldn’t work with my laptop. Sorta strange but you might try that.

That worked! Thanks so much.

Thanks to our DIS friends for the pre race potty tip today.
Enjoyed everyone’s company yesterday and this morning.

2:35:23 for DW today! Half marathon PR by about 55 minutes!
Lots of hard work paying off for her.
So proud.

Great tip! I’m staying at POP also so will have to check if there are any more pins floating around here. I was at the expo about 11am and also noted all the Half pins were gone, as well as lots of smaller sizes for half marathon clothing. I was able to score an XS in one shirt by asking a CM to check in the back so I was also proud of myself on that.

Last year we found a few things that sold out are the expo at the Disney store in Disney Springs and, later on the way home at the MCO Disney shop. So there are a couple last ditch options to check out.

Question, how long do race photos usually take to upload to memory maker?

I was kind of wondering the same thing. Entered in the code with bib number to link on MDE, but nothing coming up yet.

Was it me, or was today’s race super crowded? I’ve done the last 3 WDW half’s and don’t remember everything being so packed. I almost didn’t make it to Corral A by the start simply because it was a horde of people slowly walking out to the corrals. I got to A at 5:24 just as they were starting the national anthem.

I’m still just getting a bunch of my 10K pics. None of my Half pics have showed up yet.

I would like to give everyone in here a special thank you for all the motivation, tips, and “acceptance” into this world. Growing up i played sports, and absolutely hated just running. This year i pushed myself to get into it and even though this morning, when the fireworks went off, the furthest distance i had ran was a 5k... i successfully completed the half!! Amazing feeling crossing the finish line as just a few hours prior i made peace with the off chance i couldn’t complete it.

looking forward to the meet up Monday as well.
Side note: anyone’s pictures posted yet?

Well, looks like my perfect Dopey run is over. I finished the Half this morning but I’ve got debilitating blisters on both feet. I can’t imagine they will feel good enough for me to give it a go tomorrow. We’re going to do everything we can (and buy every medication known to man) to get there, but I’m not optimistic.

I saw @DopeyBadger getting off the bus at Pop (I apologize for the short answers, I was of a single mind to get off my feet); I’m sure he can attest that I was looking a mess. I felt worse than I looked.

Good luck to all the marathoners tomorrow. I’ll be back, I just don’t think it’ll be tomorrow.

Hoping the best for you and whatever is the best decision for tomorrow.

One last trip to the expo for me. The tracker never picked up I finished and doesn’t think I finished. Have to have this fixed for Dopey.

On better news I accidentally acquired myself a sweet guide runner by the name of Chloe. No clue if she had ever guided before but we were working in sync starting around 5k. Got runDisney to make an exception to add her as a late guide for the full.

Give it 24 hours. They start uploading photos as soon as they turn the cards in, but it takes a while. Photos should start to trickle in the day of the race, but may take a bit. Having an unobstructed bib seems to help speed the process, but not always.

The photopass photographers take a crazy number of photos during the races.

 

[PaDisneyCouple]

I just got notified that I had new photos. Two have appeared. That’s it so far.

Is there a link to them?

one. more. early. wakeup. call.

I think only by using the photopass code from the back of your bib and putting it in the MDE app.

I know this has been explained here before, but I can’t find it (sorry). Can anybody ease my mind about when is the latest you can use a porta John before the race tomorrow? Like at 3:30 do they send us off to the corrals and then you can’t leave the corral to use one after that? Or are there porta Johns at the corrals? (I’m assuming if you get out of the corral you just have to go the back of it when you come back?)

There are portas where we are held prior to going to the corrals. Then around 3:45 they will open the walk to the corrals. There are also portas that are outside the corrals. It requires you to leave your corral to use the portas though. They are typically located towards the back of the corrals. So if you have a higher letter (A, B, C) they tend to be less convenient to leave the corral and get back to in a timely manner. Sometimes you can get back to where you were in your corral and again depends on what corral you’re in. Because of the nature of Corral F (first non-POT and a significant number of runners), I’d say that’s one corral that would be hard to regain where you were once standing if you left. There are usually a few portas right after the start line but they also tend to have longer lines.

There was a bank of port-a-johns next to B/C this morning!! I wasn’t expecting that, and was able to use one last minute.
