Random question: someone posted earlier about getting your bib signed. That sounds awesome. I’m wondering what you use to sign it (sharpie?) and how you keep it from getting all crumpled?
Sharpie would definitely be the best way. You probably should have something as a backing so the character can sign it.Random question: someone posted earlier about getting your bib signed.

I emailed runDisney asking about the date and their response was "If you are registering after the POT deadline you have to submit the POT,when you register". I think we'll run the 10k on Saturday. Depending on how much faster we are ( I think we'll likely be 10-12 minutes faster, I'll make a decision about what to do when I get to the registration page.)

I still am not sure what I am going to do, but it's only an issue DS comes with me. His only POT was from a hot race from before his cross country season started this year. It's not an accurate reflection of what he's capable of. If I do decide to use the new time, I'll print out my email from RunDisney and print out a screenshot showing that no deadline is specified. I know it's a risk though.If it were me, I wouldn’t risk it. The benefits of moving up a corral or two with an improved time are far outweighed by the risk of being dropped to the back because of what rD may consider an invalid PoT.
I actually decided to forego Epcot fast passes for our entire 9 day trip this time because it is hard to see the value in using a days worth of FP+ for one Tier 1 attraction and two walk ons, especially when there will be two days of Epcot EMH during our trip. My plan is to utilize EMH and short wait times during Illuminations to get on Soarin, TT, and Frozen Ever After with minimal waits and hopefully pick up a couple FP+ after using my first 3. I'm feeling a lot happier about having 3 FoP, 3 RnRC, and 2 SDD FP+ to enjoy during our trip!My Epcot problem as well. Everything on tier 2 is either walk-on or we won’t do it, so I feel kind of odd planning any of them. Not that we don’t enjoy them, just that a FP+ seems unnecessary.

Sharpie. When we did it, we folded them down the middle and kept them in the case with our iPad mini, which we had with us.
But just fyi ... we were told by one character handler that the characters can't sign because there's legal language on the back. So be aware that you may encounter that and have a plan for what you want to do if that happens (we had them sign our medal ribbons instead).
I never thought of characters signing the bib. I'll have to think about that.Dinner @ Artist Point Storybook Dining. Get pic with Dopey wearing Dopey medal & hopefully sign my bib!
That would be very difficult. The timing would have to be just perfect as to when one show ends and the other begins because you'll have to travel from one park to the other. As a side note, there are some Epcot viewing locations for Illuminations that show some of the fireworks from Star Wars A Galactic Spectacular.Question - has anyone done Happily Ever After and Illuminations on the same night?

So, half of the Higdon novice training (at least time-wise) is officially in the books after a 10-miler today. I am looking ahead to next weekend where the training schedule has a 15 miler in store. Should be interesting as I've never run longer than 13.1 miles in my entire life...
Ha! I was just telling my husband this yesterday... Now the hard work begins! I'm nervous about this weekend's 15-miler! I keep telling myself to take it slow and enjoy the process... we'll see how that works
Vicariously living through everyone’s FP plans. I’m in indecison limbo of whether to skip the parks completely or get an AP, lol.

Is anyone going to Universal on Thursday (before the marathon)?? I didn't see anyone post that, but just curious because we'll be there!
And figuring out how I'm getting from Disney to Universal and from Universal to the airport.
