Is anyone planning on any tours during Marathon Weekend? We did the segway tour of Fort Wilderness this year during Marathon Weekend and had a great time.
We are thinking about Keys to the Kingdom this time, though it is 5 hours less park time. The Epcot behind the scenes tour (can't remember the name) also seems interesting.
I would be very cautious with tours very close to a race. I did the Star Wars guided tour in 2017 the day after the Dark Side Challenge and rewarded myself with a huge blister that I had to cope with the rest of the week. I was just fine after the races, but all the walking for the tour finally triggered the blister.
Been following for a month now, and finally took the leap and registered for my first ever Half. Should be interesting since i can't get through a 5k non-stop yet. looking forward to the journey though!
Welcome and just keep working hard. I just wanted to say that I started training for my first half in May, slacked off on weekends, but finally got serious in July with an early September race. You're further along than me.
In for 2020 Marathon. I told myself after this year's race it'd be the last Disney marathon, but I knew those thoughts wouldn't last long.
I managed to do the opposite. I was really excited for a second attempt at the marathon in February and am now needing to remind myself that I already finished the marathon, so it does not need to terrify me again. Respect it? Absolutely. But be afraid of it?
Is Storybook at Artist Point for celebration dinner worth nearly 25% of my weekly food budget?
I think it really depends on what you're looking for. I think the dining room is very well done and clever. I chose to dine there because of the Dopey picture with the Dopey medal and not needing to wait in that photo line after the marathon. While I enjoyed my meal there, I don't plan on doing it again this year and I am running Dopey again.
As of right now, I'm not doing many ADRs for marathon weekend. I have a post 10K breakfast, an early dinner the night before the marathon, a post marathon celebratory meal, and a Tuesday night meal in the Studios chosen entirely because Galaxy's Edge is also there. I'm skipping a few of my regular ADRs in part because I'm also going down for Rival Run and staying an entire week after that race, so I have more time to really relax and not let fear of how I'll respond to something during a race impact my decision.
Anyone else signing up for 2020 Star Wars Rival Run weekend today?
Signed up for the 5K and ordered the jacket. I got a package through my
travel agent for the challenge, so I'll formally sign up for that when they send me the email telling me to sign up. All that's left now is to add the virtual run, but make sure it's tied to Kessel.
Looks like we will have to rope drop Star Wars land on the only morning without a flight or a race...
Star Wars Rise of the Resistance opens December 5th, 2019 in Disney World!
After making my very low number of ADRs, I found out, so I'm glad I cut back on ADRs for marathon weekend. I now have lots more time to explore Galaxy's Edge. Thus far all of my exploring Galaxy's Edge trip or planned trips have involved friends and family joining me, so I'm not spending all day in Galaxy's Edge geeking out. That can change during marathon weekend especially with Rise of the Resistance open.
