    Are you able to open a new window in a different browser or in incognito mode? Someone else had this problem, opened another window, and their time dropped to 9 minutes.

    I’m in for the challenge through a charity bib!

    News New PhotoPass costumes

    You joke, but I’ve been in the park before, dressed in a t-shirt and shorts (typical guest park attire) taking photos with my personal camera on a tripod, and I’ve had other guests approach me thinking I was PhotoPass. Some were confused, some a little huffy, when I explained I couldn’t help...

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    It’s funny you say that, because one of my favorite parts was the dramatic steamboat bell (DING DING) that punctuated that same instrumental. Call me crazy, I’ll be the first to admit it, but it’s something that’s always stuck with me from my very first ride in ‘94.

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    Technically, only the area immediately outside of the queue’s entrance was evacuated (and that was just the CMs asking the guests to step back like 10 feet). Splash never opened with the park today, and didn’t actually start operating until around 3:10 this afternoon. The fire alarm was after...

    runDisney Mile Tracker

    Can you add another 13.1 for me? You can just round it to an even 460. Thanks!

    runDisney Mile Tracker

    Sorry guys, I initially added it in the other thread back in 2015 with an explanation about the quirky mileage, but it gets lost after 7+ years and a brand new thread. I thought others had done the same, but I only see AUPr8Hd with a similar amount. Feel free to round it down if it’s throwing...

    Fantasmic Reopening Watch

    I saw the 7:30 show on Friday, and one of the monkey barges bumped into the wall right in front of our section (Maleficent). The driver and performers recovered really quickly. I actually don’t think many people even noticed. It was operational for the Princess segment. There was a sizable...

    runDisney Mile Tracker

    I’m including the actual Disney-quoted distance of the shortened 2015 W&D half (6.72 miles). Some chose to round up, I chose to stick with what Disney posted as the official final distance. I keep an Excel spreadsheet of all my races, distances, and times since I started in 2008. I personally...

    …would it be possible to add 13.1 from W&D to my total to bring me up to 446.92? Thanks!

    Yes, I walked the Treehouse on Sunday and can confirm it has switched.

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    Even after training all summer in the central FL humidity, yesterday still managed to kick my bum. Just wasn’t my race, I guess. I was in corral D and found the course to be unusually congested all the way until we hit World Drive around mile 7/8. Not really a problem with course etiquette or...

    I’m so sorry to hear that, migraines are the absolute worst! Glad you’re feeling better now!

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    Runner tracking is up, which allows you to see your bib number (for what it’s worth, since corral assignments are on the actual bib).

    Someone in the runDisneyRun FB group already received their virtual challenge medals and tech shirts in the mail! So if you’re signed up, keep an eye out - you may be pleasantly surprised.

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    I am so glad I’m past the point of wanting merch any more. I appreciate that they’re trying to fix a major problem, but I don’t think any solution will ultimately please everyone. If they limited the expo to runners only, I could see resellers start trying to buy up bibs, or paying runners to...

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    Blizzard Beach is a complete construction zone right now. I had to park over there for an event recently, and even the parking lot was having a lot of work done. No way they could have people running through there safely. I wonder if they had to switch away from TTC with the road construction...

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    Oh you’re right, since the start goes the opposite way, it does have the long walk. I was thinking it would be set up like Springtime Surprise, where it was all self-contained in the back lot. Boo. I do agree it’s obnoxious that a lot of the back end of the race is unflattering road miles. I’m...

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    I’m sad to miss out on DAK, but no Osceola Parkway means I’m doing a happy dance! 😂 Very similar to the ToT 10-miler, which was a fun course. I loved the triple park aspect of the old layout, but the DHS portion was such a tease. I’m fine with the change, but I can also certainly sympathize with...

    Epcot's 40th Anniversary

    I was really pleased to hear “The Computer Song” mixed in the entrance music on my way out last night. I’ve never recalled hearing that included, and it’s not in any of the copies I have. From what I’m seeing in other comments, this song and “Canada (You’re a Lifetime Journey)” were...
