    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    Snickers was my favorite :(. I miss her so much. She disappeared months ago from her GRR location. She was always so friendly to certain people. And usually easy to find. I've gotten mixed stories on what happened, but hoping she was rehomed due to her health. Guests kept feeding her and she...

    Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend 2024

    It was a further walk (plus an extra security screening if one walked through DTD to get to Harbor) for those staying on site at DLR this year because the 10k and half started on Disney Way instead of Disneyland Dr like they used to. The 5k often starts in the parks. On site is not nearly as...

    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    I've never been able to wrap my brain around changing spots without first checking there isn't someone there or someone about to be there. That's dangerous for everyone. Granted there's people who do that while driving so it shouldn't be as shocking to me.

    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    It's not quite the correct language since it's meant for conventions, but the sentiment is the same: Cosplay is not consent. That's creepy to take photos of individuals without first asking for permission. I'll give a pass to generic crowd photos and "accidentally got in the shot". But not...

    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    Someone already answered correctly that those name tags were specific to the 100th anniversary celebration for the company. Debuted early last year and they were making them through October for new hires I believe. If they didn't choose a character, it defaulted to Mickey Mouse. They're...

    Those groups have been really fantastic getting things at cost. It's not stopping the reselling situation, but it's at least helping a little.

    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    She was really nice to me, very lovely to chat with. We talked for a short bit and I mentioned a friend of mine that has a "low rider" service dog during our chat. Never gonna look at my friend's service dog the same after hearing her called that 😂 I really appreciate people who are willing to...

    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    I just want to say I'm grateful for those who gave auditory warnings. I did have a couple wheels come up behind me and I made sure to indicate I heard and that I was moving as soon as I checked to make sure it was safe to do so. Also tried to help out giving warning to those ahead of me there...

    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    I got the survey. Need to still fill it out. I have so many things I want to touch on that I'm really going to have to be careful with my word count. I had a great weekend but there were definitely avoidable issues that happened.

    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    They did happen Sunday night and Monday night for sure 😬. But I took my friend over to watch them at IASW on Sunday because it's the better spot to watch them and the projections. Fairly sure projections happened at the castle? Although a friend's friend said they didn't see anything but colors...

    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    Yeah, Pete wasn't that long when I went past, but long enough I passed on him lol. Like getting swept danger long. Goofy/Max was "we won't sweep you, but we will be following behind with bright lights and judging you heavily" long 👀 Yeah, and the races always had their own set of issues...

    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    My friend's husband was supposed to fly in today to spend the week with her. His flight had been cancelled, delayed, rebooked, and cancelled so many times. At one point they said not until Wednesday. They have a studio tour tomorrow and it's too late to change the name on the other ticket 🫠...

    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    @StarGirl11 yup! The Tink 10k 2014 was the traumatic one when a ton of people got swept: Also it started at 6am 🫣. No wonder they ran into issues.

    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    I noticed them doing click and go when I went past 🤷‍♀️. I haven't done a WDW race since 2017, though, but lines felt on par with what I got used to at DLR at the time. So maybe that's changed. The lines were horrific during this 5k when I saw them. The Goofy/Max line wrapped around that little...

    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    I already was thinking that lack of characters and shutting lines down early (and I mean really early) was a tactic to prevent as much sweeping as possible. They've gotten bad press at DLR races in the past for being heavy handed with sweeps that happened due to bad congestion. They could have...

    Thank you for accepting one 🥺💚 Was so nice to meet you too!

    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    Omg I saw so many more issues today than yesterday. One runner in the esplanade saw her friends, squealed, came to a sudden dead stop on the left side, and started jumping. WITH PEOPLE RUNNING RIGHT BEHIND HER. She almost caused me to face plant. I will give credit that she apologized and...

    DDD completed! Soaking my feet and legs (epsom salt is like a miracle for me honestly). Will go to the parks in a bit after I clean up. I really need to redo his Oswald ears 😅. They got crushed at some point and never recovered. Also belated half marathon fit check (plus bonus cat wondering...

    That's a really long way to get back to your hotel 👀... Sorry 😅. Couldn't help myself.

    Disneyland Half Marathon 2024

    Going back to my hotel my first Tink took an extremely long time to get through security after the half 🫠. Garage was no better. From what I was told it took forever to exit. I've been hearing a lot of oddball placements. Some make sense. But a lot don't. It's like they went down the list of...
