I booked my room at Caribbean Beach yesterday! Have not stayed here in a few years so I am looking forward!

Such a short stay!
It's my sister's first time in WDW during the 50th, so we're there from 2-9 Jan.

Nice! We stayed there for Springtime Surprise, our room was directly across the street from the skyliner hub, which was so convenient!
We’re all booked at AoA this go around, Jan 4-9. With the theme being a throwback to 1992, I just got a Gary’s Olde Towne Tavern t-shirt for one of the race days (Bar Wars VI was 1992
), just need to figure out some good 1992-ish themes for the other race days now!

I am booked for Coronado for Marathon week, but honestly I am hoping we can get a CM to get us a freinds and family discount to stay at one of the Boardwalk resorts.

Hi Marathoners,
Planning my one park day with a Disney newbie. We will be starting at HS and going to Epcot.
Can I purchase an ILL for both Cosmic and Rise and/or Slinky at the same time? Or can you only have one of those ILLs at a time? Thanks!

Two per day, can be in any park you want as long as you have hoppers and the second park one is after 2.
Can't buy two of the same attraction, but you can try your luck at the lottery for Cosmic Rewind and then make your purchases if you're feeling lucky. ILL's have been lasting a bit longer these past few weeks

I believe you will enjoy it. I have stayed there my last few Marathon weekends. There are pools other than the main pool
and it is convenient to relax some running muscles before or after the races. I wish there was other transportation other than
the Skyliner, (a little fear of heights), but it is convenient. See if you can be placed in Aruba or Jamaica.

So according to the Higdon calender, Dopey Challenge training begins on September 5th with a 3 mile run, with a 13 mile run that Saturday. That's a steep climb from my daily 4 mile runs. I need to step up the next two weeks.

You could also try the Galloway training plans on the RunDisney site. Even if you do not do the run/walk the mileage is more gradual
and a lot of people have used it with success.

I’m running the 5K, 10K, and Half virtually. Since I am training for both Wine & Dine, and Springtime Surprise it seems to be hard to fit these runs in on the actual date. As such, I will be running the WDW Half later this month or early in October. As this lines up with my training plan for Wine & Dine. Since this isn’t a challenge I am free to split these up as I see fit. I’ll be able to run the 5K, and 10K close to the actual date.
Running Princess (fairytale challenge) virtually as well but it’s looking like my Springtime Surprise program should more or less enable me to run those closer to the date.

Trying to decide between doing the same old Higdon training vs the Galloway Dopey training.
The Galloway system seems so easy compared to Higdon, which maybe what this oldish man needs, but I have done Higdon for so long. Hard to change now.
