Thanks!! Finally turned the corner after 4 weeks of antibiotics.

Yes, that was my reasoning for WnD last year. I’ll work longer and save vacation days. Price wise, if I stay at a value, it is not that much more. But it will make the experience much less stressful.When I did Dopey I flew in on Tuesday to be safe or safe as can be cause who knows with winter travel & just watched it like a crazy person in case we needed to try to get out earlier. Not much help on return as we stayed thru the following Thursday, but I wouldn't want to fly home right after the marathon so if it can work I would pick fly out Monday.
HAHA Well I hit purchase and Woody is on my screen telling me to please wait and not hit the back button or refresh. Toying with me and my emotions.
Same here, I am aiming for Dopey 2020 so my 2019 race line-up will be minimalist (price wise). I even calculated how much a NYRR Marathon would cost if I was winning the lottery and figured out that runDisney was a better deal! I looked both at runDisney travel agent websites and Disney World website for getting an accurate estimate.
Question for those planning or having done a Dopey and having to fly from a very wintery part of the world: Given that the Expo starts on Wednesday and that the first race is on Thursday, do you take a chance that the flight won’t be cancelled because of weather and fly on Wednesday or do you fly on Tuesday to be safe? Also, do you plan a return flight on Sunday or on Monday? It is the difference between a 4 and 6 nights hotel reservation and a 3 and 5 days vacation from work. TIA

Note to self: Plan a late Monday night flight to accomodate DATW.Haven't done Dopey but am from a somewhat wintery part of the world. (From Toronto...are you in Quebec?)
I would fly in on the Tuesday and return on the Monday. Depending on how long it will take you to complete the marathon, you don't want to have to deal with checking out prior to the marathon and possibly not having a place to shower before getting on a flight. Plus, you should plan on doing DATW on the Monday!
Well it took. And so I have a reservation through Monday. So I guess this could happen. Ack!
I'm crazy.
I keep putting the Little Mermaid room in the cart for myself to run the half w/ my friend or Goofy. (sorry guys, Dopey just won't be possible for 2019.) Someone tell me to just pull the trigger and room only is cancel-able anyways. I'm freaking myself out. I have the all go from the hubby but I have solo-vacation-mom-guilt.

QOTD: Today you can officially book a package for 2019 for WDW. Who is booking today and where are you planning on staying for marathon weekend?!?!
Resort smells are definitely a thing. And a very good thing at that. Isn’t there a candle company that has scents based off of a few of the different scents?

UM YES DO IT!I keep putting the Little Mermaid room in the cart for myself to run the half w/ my friend or Goofy. (sorry guys, Dopey just won't be possible for 2019.)

I booked a group rate so I don't apply to this. Interested to see if they do go up for you.For those who booked a room only reservation that is not a DVC. Did your room rate or total go up today? I was told that it would go up to whatever the new rates are, but as of mid morning they have not. I picked the the same dates to see what it should come out to and it isnt that much more thankfully, but curious if it will indeed go up. Also, I technically made this reservation prior to the parking stuff coming out, but was also told that it wouldnt matter and I should prepare to pay the parking fee. Wonder if I have a chance of showing I booked on 1/11/18 lol
UM YES DO IT!
That might be a little face paint but not a full face Hoping to see you there!Already did...but not for enough days to do dopey. I'm leaning towards being a Goof maybe...maybe. Just maybe.
What facepaint does that net out? Like a small panda paw print instead of a full panda face?
My part of the world isn't as wintry (New Jersey) but I didn't want to risk not completing the dopey on day one. We have had to cancel trips before due to weather. For both dopey we flew in on Tuesday.Same here, I am aiming for Dopey 2020 so my 2019 race line-up will be minimalist (price wise).
