Best of luck to everyone! Hope y'all get the seats/ticket combos you want! Tapping out for this year but can't wait to live vicariously through y'all; I'll be celebrating Harrison, John, and Joe back in Jersey ☺️
I'm very, very surprised they don't have shopping add-ons or anything. I know lots of folks would pay for guaranteed early experiences, opportunities for RSPs for high-end merch, or other things.
My first and only sorcerer experience was 2019, which was wonderful, but my gut is the complaints...
Yeah I'm curious to see how seating goes (which sections sell out first) since it'll be more concert-style than any other Expo beforehand. The combo of Ford-Rohde-Williams has pushed me from possibly skipping this year to saying, let's see what we can get haha.
THANK YOU for all the info you...
Whoa. Practically sorcerer level pricing (a little less) for no benefits other than preferred seating. Hot dog.
It'll sell out, I'm sure. Just wild.
Editing to add - do I even want a floor seat for this? It'd be flat with the possibility of tall people in front of you, compared to say stadium...
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in...
Was gonna go for my 2nd Dopey in 2026, but man...this looks good. And I've been feeling good about where I am, training-wise (famous last words). LFG!
Speaking of merch -- not sure how everyone else feels, but 2022 merch didn't hit for me as much as 2019 did. I should be grateful I didn't spend as much, but everything definitely seemed more generic and similar. Curious to see what this year looks like.
Ah, did not even think about the math. And I'd rather take group transit than offered than deal with rental cars and parking and all that fun. Blargh.
Totally understand the typical schedule of info release - I'm just surprised given the new (and arguably, complex) setup that there isn't a...
Yup! It's so expensive, and so hard to budget without knowing what the offerings are (and also...are we going to be responsible for getting to the Honda Center?? I ran there in January but I'm not doing that again without a medal 🙃)
I've been going since 2013 and I'm debating on skipping this one. Every trip I've done this year has been for runDisney (exhausting) and Expo is usually double exhausting. Hoping ticket details come soon so I can make a call one way or the other
So as folks have shared before when you check in you can actually adjust the party number (I'll book for 2, 3, worst case 4, and switch to 1 at check-in). Never had an issue. I don't know if it's a table configuration thing or a profit thing (4 likely to spend more than 1) but if I've spent the...
I've gone solo and the skillets seemed smaller than tables around me (which is totally fine and appropriate). I'll be going back for Springtime Surprise since I had a great time my last visit.
I can appreciate that some folks don't love gobs of frosting with a side of cake but it's my absolute favorite dessert 😁Still dreaming about the Gideon's slice my family had a few years ago. Hoping to grab another in April!
When I was there in December the bird habitat in Gorilla Falls trail was definitely emptier than it had been in the past. Hope birds are being protected and they'll be back safe soon
based on @Naomeri 's pictures from registration it looks like it never had a preview image -- https://www.disboards.com/threads/springtime-surprise-weekend-2024-april-18-21.3918196/post-64994068
I'm honestly not sure how quickly passholder merch goes? I feel like it's typically ok compared to...
Another team not-so-fast here (more like team slow AF).
I had a couple of 2-race challenges and lots of halfs under my belt before my first Dopey/full, so I was used to the waking up & multi-day movement. I had a pretty big gap in races (2018 - 2022), but I still did Saturday & Sunday long...
I have a new quasi-tradition to do Garden Grill dinner after the last big race in a challenge (full for Dopey, half for Wine & Dine). Hoping to get that! Also love Le Cellier on any night
They released the last corral all at once (I think we were E or F?) for the 2023 marathon because of heat concerns. My friends who were tracking and cheering for me saw that I started about 30 seconds ahead of the balloon ladies and thought I had a last minute bathroom run and moved to the back...
