Cast: Me and DH; joined later by my brother, SIL, and three nieces (4, 7, 10)

Our wake-up call came at 2:45, and then we got another one at 2:50 – the second one was an actual person on the phone,...

Since we were warned ahead of time about how long it takes to get to the start corrals with the influx of runners (half marathon and marathon had somewhere...

I did find him on marathon day, but made the ridiculous decision to not stop (there was only 1 person in line). I blame the poor judgment on the fact that Dopey was at mile 24 or so, and I was a...

This was the one race we were able to “sleep in” for. The race started at 6:30, but there was an Intercot meet at 5:30, so I set two alarms and a wake-up call for...

We took our time getting up this morning, but were out the door by 7:45. We had reservations at Kona Café for a little after 9:00, so we caught the bus to MK and then hopped the monorail over to the...

I really like Madeleine Elizabeth, but they are all nice names. As was mentioned earlier, you may just know when you hold your little baby in your arms. My brother and sister-in-law had names all...

Sounds like an amazing wedding! So glad everything came together despite the problems along the way. :thumbsup:

So I realize this is a little late, but I decided to post anyway. Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I enjoy reliving it. :mickey:

The Setup
This trip was about 5 years in the making. DH...

Good call, Disoriented! I was wrong in my previous post. According to the official run Disney site, only specific host hotels will provide transportation. Currently the site lists the hotels for the...

I love it! :thumbsup:

We all used nicknames. My brother and his family used variations of a pirate theme (captain, firstmate, swabby, etc..)

I would echo what people have said about the Hotel Del. It's awesome, but you're kind of secluded away from everything.

La Jolla is a great place - I've run past La Jolla Shores Hotel, and it...

:clappy: Congrats on your first half!! :clappy:
Disney races certainly can be addicting, so your desire to go back and do more is completely understandable. I did the Dopey this year, and I would do...

All the Disney hotels on property have transportation to the events. We stayed at Pop Century for Marathon weekend and loved it. The reasons we liked it so much were:
1. They have Powerade as...

I would love to do the Dopey again (she says after a month of recovery), however, my bank account says that I cannot. :( Unless something changes, we're going to have to wait a few years before going...

My husband and I were just discussing this this morning. I saw the description for the welcome party and thought, "seriously? Why would anyone pay for this?" And then it SOLD OUT! I'm still confused....

We honeymooned in the middle/end of Sept 2006 and loved it. It was pretty warm, but I basically planned our wedding for September because it's value (and discount) time for WDW. Kids are just back in...

Hall of Presidents

You choose:

Tom Sawyer Island

or

Liberty Square Riverboat

True story.

We just got back from POR, and it was very nice. The pull down bed isn't huge, but fit my niece (10 years old) just fine. It's a spacious resort, and as mentioned above, it's a moderate so the...

Half marathon is currently at 65%

Congrats!! I'm in for the half. Really wanted to do Dumbo, but had to make the responsible financial decision and just do the half this year. Grrrrr! Anyway, we should meet up when you're out here!...

Sitting at my computer waiting for registration to open. It's going to be my only other race this year (because of price), but I'm going for my coast to coast, so I'm in. :mickey:

Carrie, that was exactly what I needed right now! Thank you so much! Also, I'm writing down your phrases and plan to pull them out when things get tough. My longest run ended up being 18 (with a 9.5...

Okay, I'm just going to be honest - I'm looking for a little encouragement here. I'm kind of freaking out about the races next week. My training has been plagued with problems - two moves (one...

I don't think that will be the case. It states that you have to have only the previous race's wristband plus your bib to get the new wristband. Then, you need the half marathon wristband (plus bib)...
