    where to stay for 1/2 Marathon

    Cost is also an issue to take into consideration. We were going to stay at the Poly for the monorail but we've decided to go with POFQ for the cost savings. Especially since we just booked an ABD trip for the same year (2012).

    It could be the new Rapunzel movie Tangled or even Secretariat.

    What's up with the Animal Kingdom Parade?

    Quite frankly AK's Jammin' Jungle Parade is my favourite daytime parade. I love the music and everything about the parade. I love the larger than life animal floats and the music is fantastic and gets me dancing in place. Share a Dream Come True I can take or leave, but I gotta see Jammin'...

    where to stay for 1/2 Marathon

    And this is why I'm starting to hate this board. Everyone here is so negative and condescending all the time!:fork:

    where to stay for 1/2 Marathon

    If you go on the official marathon site, you can download the race booklet for 2010, which is full of helpful information such as the following: Monorails will run on race morning between the hours of 3am and 4am to get race participants to the start of the race. You must board the monorails...

    Would you use a wheelchair?

    Use the ECV. Even without the burns, I would tell you to use the ECV. I went to Disney with a cast on my foot due to stress fractures in my leg. Definitely use the ECV, that's what they are there for. It's there to make YOUR day enjoyable. Forget what others are going to think. Yes they will...

    should there be a waiting period for wheelchairs

    They always asked me to leave my ECV on the bus, provided I was able to transfer. As for the monorail, I was never required to leave it. Its probably because the monorail never makes any sudden stops or turns.

    should there be a waiting period for wheelchairs

    Totally agree with you. I lost count of the number of times I was nearly ejected out of the ECV because of someone cutting in front of me at the last second. I eventually gave up trying to stop in time and took the stroller pushers mentality. They could get out of my way. Oh and the return...

    should there be a waiting period for wheelchairs

    For safety reasons you are not allowed to ride on the ECV while the bus is in motion. I always folded the back of the seat down to prevent people from sitting in the ECV and using it as an empty bus seat. And for those of you who complain about the ECVs getting on the buses first, just...

    How has Disney tried to encourage healthy eating?

    I've found that at the quick service locations within the parks they've actually reduced their 'healthier' options. Not everyone wants Caesar salad as their salad choice. They used to have really great salads offered at all of their quick services through out the parks but I've noticed over the...

    should there be a waiting period for wheelchairs

    This is not true. I had an ECV, rented from an off property company and I in no way needed a Guest Assistance Card to use the alternate entrance, when needed. Most times all it took was for me to explain to the CM at the entrance that there was no way for me to wait in the standby line with my...

    Magic Kingdom Question

    Also Mondays tend to be more crowded at MK because all the people who checked in on Sunday like to hit MK first think Monday morning.

    should there be a waiting period for wheelchairs

    Actually if this will make you feel any better, I saw one of the morbidly obese ECV users trying to cheat the system when I was there in December. Here's what happened. As I stated in my earlier post, I was forced to use an ECV myself due to having a cast on my foot. Now when I could I...

    Weather for WDW Half Marathon?

    My plan for when I run the 1/2 in 2012 is to go to my local Zellers (our version of Target) or Walmart and get and a nice but inexpensive zippered hoodie, that I know I'm not going to be upset to lose on course but will be nice enough that someone else will be happy to get.

    should there be a waiting period for wheelchairs

    You're the type of person I hated the most on my last trip. The people who would take one look at me on my ECV, see a perfectly healthy 30 something, then see the walking cast on my foot and then have this look cross your face that clearly said I was faking it to get to the head of the line...

    Has this ever happened to anyone else??

    Actually I can't. The crazy thing is DCL can book from my city but WDW Travel Company can't. I would book my own airfare anyway. Even if I was doing a cruise I would book my own airfare.

    Has this ever happened to anyone else??

    This is why I book my own flights. That way I can get the flights I want, when I want, on the airline I want.
