Disneyland Paris Half Marathon

[RunningKoen]

Both. Few options and what is there is not that great...and expensive. People did comment that Disney Village has more options. But places in the parks close at 5:00 PM. It's France...the LAND of food.

The options and quality aren't that bad compared to the average WDW options, imho.

People exaggerate ... about the closing times

France isn't thé land of food btw

As long as I can go anywhere but the burger place in between Buzz and Star Tours, I can usually find something to eat that I am happy enough with. The last few times we’ve gone we’ve left the park at lunchtime and eaten either in the Village or hoped on the RER one stop to the huge mall and had something in the mall.

Agree. There was a counter service sandwich shop in Studios that had amazing bread. Don't remember the name.

 

[Texas84]

Was reading some tweets about DLP. Is it true food is pretty much AWOL in the parks?

I did nothing but park counter service and it was fine. Toad Hall wasn't very good after everyone told me to go there. Everything in the Village was overcrowded chaos.

I’ll look for you among all the runners

More seriously, people coming this year have lucked out in the weather department - last weekend felt like winter was definitely just around the corner and now it appears we’re headed smack into Indian summer

Runners guide was linked at the Run Disney France facebook.


No link on their official site somehow. But rDF has never excelled at IT, to be honest.

That explains it - I don’t use Facebook.

Since you are my go-to guy for information: what numbers are what corrals?

runDisney France doesnt use the same system. Their bib numbers arent related to corral placement.

So, we still do not know our corrals until we pick up our bibs

Date (and a amazing design) for the fith anniversary weeekend, next year, are official

 

[Swissmiss]

I didn’t even notice the design ... I was intent on the dates (because somewhere else recently I saw it posted as the weekend before?)

After a couple of years of being lucky with my 5K corral, my luck ran out: I’m in D. Did you see what time D CLOSES for the 5K? It closes at 8:55 pm. Last year I was already on my way back to the hotel at 8:55 pm

Wrong date has been posted by a TA. Disneyland Paris did a good job in getting that down asap, but it still reached a fair amount of people.

Too bad of the corral! I wont know mine until tomorrow.

Will we plan a meet up?

How do you have all your t-shirts and not your bibs with your corral?

And yes, a meet up would be great.

Bonne chance, mes amis!

@Swissmiss & @RunningKoen, I'll be cruising, so you can gently hint all you want....I won't see it.
