Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

[LAKid53]

Last wine and dine half exited Epcot by China. Major let down

Ah, that's the year I didn't finished because I was a tad under the weather. Self swept just before leaving Animal Kingdom.

Interesting wording regarding start groups:

• runDisney will be utilizing Start Groups to follow health and safety guidelines and manage the flow of participants from the staging area to the start of the race. Your start group designation is a small “s” followed by a number (such as s1, s2, s3, s4) and is located in the upper corner of your bib.

Interesting. B.A.A. did something similar for Boston last weekend, but since they load buses from a single location, they could control the flow much easier. You get on bus at time, off bus, drop bag, last port a pottie stop, then start running. No hanging around in the staging area at all. Although going off the start area maps they posted, it looks like instead of having people clustering at the actual start area, you cluster in the pre-stage area. Doesn't look to be a huge difference to me.

Is there really any point in this when they are happy to do this in MK?

Plausible deniability. At a race everyone NEEDS to be there at the same time. At something at the MK, everyone just happened to show up at the same time for the same thing. The parks were open all day, it's not WDW's fault everyone came early on........

Representatives from runDisney were at the Chicago marathon last weekend looking over logistics. I'm sure they were looking to see how it was done before releasing the race guide this week.

Wonder if those are charity bibs bring returned.

@dreamfinder, in all your experience, have you seen all races reopen 2 weeks before the 1st one runs?

"You have no important reminders right now!"

I guess the guide is now fully updated.

Yet waivers haven't dropped....

And the course maps are just awful.

If you go to the individual distances, you can see very clear maps. Different from the “maps” section.

My waiver is still not available. Ha!

Received the email 20 minutes ago that tickets were mailed starting last Saturday. And that we should be getting an email next week with the $15 e-card.

Now if we'd get our waivers....

 

[Texas84]

Got my ticket and loaded it into MDE. No waiver or $$$ for me yet.

@DznyGrlSD,

As you are now our insider for runDisney, have they said anything about runner tracker? Or will we just have to wait until the waivers final drop to see if it's available...

I've only been through Traditions/orientation. I have my 1st runDisney training day tomorrow. From what I understand there are still a LOT of moving parts getting back to live events and wine/dine is quickly approaching.
