My wife and I have only done one race weekend at Disneyland. We did the 2014 Avengers Super Heroes 5K and Half Marathon. We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel and I remember we walked down to the start line about 30 minutes before the gun and we were there in plenty of time.

With all of the consternation around conference realignment, following the recent announcement of USC and UCLA moving to the Big Ten and last year's announcement that Texas and Oklahoma are moving to the SEC, it seems like foreshadowing that that current signage that is going to be removed is...

I got all the way to the end of registering my wife and myself, and then when I clicked the Register & Pay button, it informed me that "Registration for runDisney Springtime Surprise Challenge is closed; it has reached the maximum number of participants." :( I was able to start over and...

I agree about the need for more pools, hot tubs, and other entertainment on the DCL ships. It looks like maybe the Wish is going to have a little better layout of pools perhaps, but I would still like to see more. At a minimum, if the ships are going to be a little lacking in those areas, I'd...

I just returned from Ocean Lakes, which is at the Southern end of Myrtle Beach, near Surfside Beach. From what I experienced, there is no reason to believe the Myrtle Beach Mini Marathon will have any issues with proceeding as planned. The pandemic seemed to be a distant memory there. The only...

I completely understand. A lot of my concern was with the fact I was going to have to go through the uncomfortableness four mornings in a row. I just don't trust that everyone around me would follow the rules properly and I didn't want to have to deal with that, especially four days in a row, or...

As someone that was signed up for the Dopey, I'm very glad that the live races were cancelled. At the time I signed up, I was optimistic about things being under control by January. However, as time passed, I was dreading the thought of actually gathering together for the races and, at the same...

As a guy, I can tell you that you should really consider participating in one of the Princess events once they are live again. Think about the math. ;)

I was originally singed up for my first full marathon via the Dopey Challenge. However, I have zero interest in attempting a full marathon virtually. So, I'm probably going to just go for the 10K because I really like the Oswald medal. I'm not in love with the 5K or Half medals, so I think I'm...

Yep. We've been lucky enough to do the Castaway Cay 5K a few times, and then we finally did the Castaway Cay Challenge a few years ago. It was pretty much just another excuse to take a Disney cruise.

Since we are sharing photos of our displays, here is mine at the moment.

Yeah, it is the banking part that makes me nervous. Hopefully, DVC is understanding and allows the points to be banked beyond the traditional window should the event be cancelled after the banking window is closed.

If they cancel the January race, I really hope they do it prior to September 30 so that I can cancel my reservation and bank those February Use Year DVC points to 2021.

The weather will definitely be cooler if I wait until the actual dates to do the races. Regardless of whether I complete the runs on the official days or do them prior to the dates, I plan on doing the 10K and Half on consecutive days to honor the "challenge" part of the Two Course Challenge. If...
