I hope they replace the awful kessel run challenge medal - bring back the millenium falcon or something better.
Considering this. We shall see as we get closer. I have yet to do this weekend. I hope we have a better idea on Wine and Dine by then.
Honestly, I would just keep it branded as Star Wars Race Weekend until (if) Light Side returns to the west coast. They can still keep the rival component of the medals if they want to, but just drop the words rival run. I wonder if they will continue to offer a virtual half for Star Wars.I wish they would go back to the Dark Side branding (and bring back light side). I get what they were going for with "rivals run" but never really liked that branding.

I hope to be able to run 2021 since we didn't get to run this year. I still have to get the time off approved first though.
This was 2019, if that helps.I managed to snag a value room at Animal Kingdom for Thursday night to use up some AK points, and Old Key West for Fri-Sunday (hoping to switch out at 7 months). So it looks like I'm in!
I am looking at the map from 2018 but I'm horrible at figuring things out. The run map only lists the Theme Parks, and I'm trying to compare it to a map of all the resorts. Which resorts does the Star Wars run normally go past? I'd ideally like to try to switch to a resort where my husband and my running partner's wife and kids can just head outside to see us.
Thank you, this is much better than the map I was looking at. I can at least see resorts on this one.This was 2019, if that helps.
Between you, another Dis & me - we're going to have a run Disney party up in Value Room land! (Or at least little worries about late night running up and down the halls...)Value room at AKV opened up so I ended up just going with it for the whole weekend. If anyone is DVC and owns at Animal Kingdom, it's worth checking to see if they are still available. As of now the week is open for a studio until Saturday night.
Question, is it more difficult to get DVC rooms than general resort rooms on marathon weekends? Do I need to be booking a regular resort room now, so far in advance? (I'm already registered for the half in January but we have made 0 travel arrangements as of yet).
- If they offer the Kessel Run Challenge again, what time period does the virtual need to be completed? And how do you build this run into your training plan? In the past, I've maxed out my training at 14 miles, but that it usually two weeks or so before actual race.
