packet pickup question

[bkgrim]

First time running at Disney but go to Disney 2 times a year. How do we getting world of sports center to pick up race packets on Thursday. Do we have to go to transportation center to find a bus?

There are special marathon weekend motor coaches that leave from every resort. Just go to your resort bus stop and you will see them! Have a great run! The marathon is so much fun!

Buses depart DW Resort hotels every 15 minutes to go to ESPN Wide World of Sports. In the past, there has also been bus service to/from Hollywood Studios. Buses are specially marked for the Expo and there is a representative their to further assist you - look for the marathon transportation sign and a person with a walkie-talkie and clipboard. The Expo/start line buses likely will not use the same pick-up location as the typical park transportation will and will stop at only one location per resort (usually the main lobby).

If you have a car you can just drive to the Wide World of Sports, there's plenty of parking. I'm assuming that you don't have a car though and in that case the other posters above are 100% correct. The CM's at the resorts can definitely point you in the right direction, but definitely no need to the TTC to get down to WWOS.

Can we bring our sons who are not entered in the half to the Expo with us? I wasn't sure if that was ok or if they had to pay an admission etc.?

There is no admission for anyone to attend the Expo.

This is true about driving your car, but it can and does get backed up as you get later into the day. I've seen cars lined up to get into the parking lot. If you stay at an onsite resort, it's a lot easier to use the marathon transportation.
