    Newport Bay or Sequoia?

    My friends and I, all from the US, plan to run the DLP Half Marathon next September. We are narrowing down choices for hotel. Prices are similar for Newport Bay and Sequoia, based on research--about $30 per night difference. For those who know the resorts--which option would you choose and why?

    Packet Pick Up at Resort

    My DDIL is running the Fairy Tale Challenge February 2018. She is in medical school in Erie, PA. There is no way she can get to Florida until late Friday night because of a scheduled exam. She will not be able to get her bib at the Expo for the 10K race. She and the rest of our party are...

    Disneyland Paris Half 2017

    I don't like complaining, complaints, complainers, etc., which of course is my apologetic lead-in to this complaint. The e-mail runDisney Paris sent July 7 about sending the invitation to register "soon" is not clear. The events will have a large number of English speaking participants, the...

    Where did you find availability and decent rates--could not find that on the regular Disney site? Thanks!

    Official 2017 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend!

    Newbie Questions I have run many WDW races--I live in FL--but I am new to DL races. We are going to stay at either the Anaheim Hilton or the Anaheim Sheraton. How do we get to the race starting point? Are there shuttles, or do we walk? Also, where is the bib pickup. Sorry, I know, such a...

    Official Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend - The Dark Side 2017

    Best HM route I've seen at WDW by far! Only route I like even better is the WDW Marathon--all four parks plus Boardwalk plus Wide World of Sports. The way they handle the WWOS route is very cool--my favorite part of that run.

    2017 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend

    I also strongly, strongly recommend the short interval approach, unless you are a premier athlete. Last month, I ran my first full marathon at Disney. While leaving the Expo, I just happened to walk past a talk being given by Jeff Galloway. He was pitching 30s/30s or 30s/15s or whatever short...

    I got the same call--4 POR rooms, total of 13 nights, all upgraded to AKL!!!! To good to be true--but next morning I saw the confirmation on My Disney Experience. I am crazy excited, and agree, Boma is calling...........

    Marathon Weekend 2017!

    To all of the awesome Half Marathon runners--I know you have prepared hard, and this is a true disappointment. But because you are so determined to begin with, you will figure out some way to make this up to yourself. You have earned that.

    Marathon Weekend 2017!

    Our unusually hot Central Florida winter is forecasted to turn super cold (but dry, thankfully) for the Sunday marathon--low 40s. This is unsettling for us Floridians. My husband asked me what the daytime high would be for yesterday, Wednesday. I told him "75 degrees," and he replied, "I...

    Same Day Packet Pick Up

    Thanks, everyone! I followed up with an e-mail question to runDisney and will post when they reply. Our DC-area runner is so relieved that her work commitment will not prevent her from running. This will be her first Disney run. We all know she is in for a treat!

    Same Day Packet Pick Up

    Sorry--I know this has been asked before but I cannot find a good summary on runDisney. There are 9 of us planning to run various races in the 2017 Princess Half Marathon Weekend. One of us cannot get there until after the Expo has closed the night before her race. We are staying on-site at...

    Marathon Weekend 2017!

    Signed up for the Marathon, and friend from DC is running, too! I have done more than 10 Half Marathons in the last 3 years, but this will be my first full Marathon. I know slower pace and absolute commitment to a training plan are everything. I will start training this Saturday for September...

    Marathon Weekend 2017!

    Anyone have the scoop on whether there will be early registration for AP holders? Nothing on runDisney, so I'm thinking.....maybe not.

    Marathon Weekend 2017!

    2017 Mickey will be my first full marathon ever!!! Better late than never!!! I am really encouraged that registration has been open for this race more than a few minutes. I feel like I could start a daily countdown already.

    Official Wine and Dine 2016 thread

    bcarey, Belated THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I followed your instructions exactly and got registered. You really, really helped and I so appreciate that. Without your instructions, I probably would have fumbled and stumbled.

    Official Wine and Dine 2016 thread

    Sorry So Late... I am driving myself crazy and wasting time trying to figure out how to register at noon for the Wine and Dine. I am an AP holder and DVC member. What site do I start with? I know there have been many posts on this, but I am still not sure and probably won't be able to go...

    Disney website - someone should be fired

    Website Worse Than Useless I manually input dining reservations, including prepaid (Hoop Dee Doo) and credit card guaranteed (California Grill). While all reservations are acknowledged and found when I go through this tedious process, fewer than half attach to my itinerary. This new web...
