That’s how I look at it.
It’s no worse than Woodpecker Lane, honestly. And, the absolute best part - real bathrooms!
That’s how I look at it.
If you are heading to Miami, it will take about 4 hours from Orlando. If the bus is the least expensive way I would check their schedule and go with that. You can rent a car at Orlando International and return it in Miami. You just need to make sure that the rental company has an office near where you are staying or go with the airport if that is close to where you are staying and then take a lyft to where you are staying.
I would also check into a discounted hotel room on Disney property or something in the Disney Springs area. We don't work with Airbnb so I can't help with that unfortunately.
Good luck with your adventures and with the race!

If you end up driving, I can tell you that it’s not a stressful experience at all, and if it saves you money and logistics from taking a cab/Uber, I’d encourage you to do it. I’m a local and drive over the morning of the race. As long as you know how to get to Epcot (where I’m assuming parking will be as it’s always there), just follow the hoards in and park.
If the start is at the TTC/MK parking again, you just take a bus from Epcot to the start. There are thousands doing the same thing and plenty of CMs and volunteers to guide you. If you end up going the cab route, you can get dropped off right at the TTC (my wonderful husband serves as my Uber and kindly drops me off then goes home to take a nap
Hope this helps!
Haha, lucky you... i am not sure, i assume parking at disney would be expensive no? I am still going over my options. lol just so indecisive
So yes, it is pretty much the same, but definitely we have a big fee for relocation.
I might be able to find a room in Coronado Springs, still not cheap. But i think will save me from the hassle of uber, and all that jazz.
If you are staying at a Disney resort, parking is free - at both the resort and the parks.
That's an excellent choice. You'll be somewhat between Epcot and Magic Kingdom, resort wise. Plus, if you are flying, you will be able to take Disney's free shuttle service from the airport to your hotel.
Yay!! SO I booked Coronado Springs
. And now that im staying at a resort. I won’t need to rent the car. I will just take shuttle to resort from airport.
Yay!! SO I booked Coronado Springs
Yup. I'm not sure if people flying from outside the US will get the special tags to put on their checked luggage. The tags mean that Disney will collect your luggage from baggage claim and deliver it to your room. I'd email them and ask if this feature of the Magical Express will be available for you. If so, make sure your carryon will have a change of clothes and your race waiver form. I understand it may take a couple of hours for your luggage to be delivered.
Oh wow, thats a sweet deal.. Let me know when you find out. I wonder how many are international runners?

Maybe the most important question: will not running the virtual have an impact on the Kessel run? No Kessel Run '18 medal = no perfect?
Because the perfect light side will miss a year or two; so someone who has done all light and dark side races in resorts still can have a perfect status for both light and dark side yet no perfect kessel status because he or she missed out on the virtual race
Edit: slightly hypothetical, I know. Anyone who is aiming for perfect dark side, and running the dark side in '18 aswell, would be insane to not do the virtual race. But someone who isnt aware of this? somehow?

Babysitting for friends while they do the 5k but I'm itching to do a 5k and get some character photos soon. Just doing the virtual half, 10k and dark side half... I've wanted that kessel for a while

It was rather obvious, but is now confirmed: the virtual half marathon will cannot be used as a race for the castle to chateau challenge.

Amusing that you need to use it for one challenge, but cannot use it for another. Makes total sense, just kind of funny.
