Marathon Weekend 2018

Appreciate the recent POT discussion! For some reason, I had completely forgotten that a 10 miler could be used as POT for the marathon/Dopey. I ran a strong one this spring that should (based on the last two years) be worth a bump up one corral. I had been hoping to run a similar pace in my September half marathon but it's nice to have the pressure off that one for POT purposes. Now I'll just be focused on PR. :)
 
I think there's a pretty big difference between stealing bibs to run races and paying for races and misrepresenting your accomplishments in said race. Stealing bibs is pathetic and criminal, misrepresenting yourself is just kind of sad.

There are people who misrepresent their accomplishments all over the place and runDisney is ripe for that sort of behavior. Does it bug me? Yeah, sometimes. Many of the people who misrepresent themselves didn't sweat all summer long, freeze in the winter, deal with blisters, lose toe nails, and have aches, pains, etc. They didn't put in the work and yet get the same respect as those of us who did. But, then I think how sad something in their lives must be if they have to pretend to run a Disney race just to feel some sense of pride or satisfaction. Also, most fakes are easy enough to spot.

Ultimately, people who steal bibs or pretend to run races aren't taking away our accomplishments.
 
Happy Sunday everyone! As always Sundays are for Disney!

Today's Sundays are for Disney question...

If you could go to a Disney park overseas which one would it be and why?

My answer: Tokyo DisneySea. DisneySea just looks amazing. The amount of detail and immersiveness are said to make it feel out of this world.

Happy Sunday everyone! @rteetz Sunday questions are one of my favorite things each week!

I would pick Shanghai Disneyland, the layout just looks so different to MK/Disneyland. I would also like to see a few things in China too, so I imagine it would be quite the trip.

Visiting all of the Disney parks is a long-term goal for me, I have been fortunate to do DLR, WDW, and Disneyland Paris so far.

Tokyo Disney Sea for sure looks amazing, but I would need to be knocked out to make it through the flight!

I need to make it to Disneyland first.
 
Ive been to Tokyo Disney and Euro Disney before. So while I would jump at the chance to see them again I am going to opt for Shanghai Disney since I've never been to the China Disney parks.

On a side note I've been sidelined for a few days. I went to the Belmont Stakes yesterday and had a blast. But I was sweating so much that as soon as I would apply the sunscreen it would come off which is a problem when it's 80 something and sunny for most of the day. So my arms are really red. So is my face and neck to an extent but my arms definitely bore the brunt of it. I learned the hard way last time I got a really bad sunburn that I can't workout until it's at least healed some. So I'm off for at least half a week.

Also my two cents on the ID thing. Races requiring ID checks don't always get implemented by the volunteers running the bib handout. When I did London 2016 the woman giving me my bib just hand waved away my passport when I tried to show her my ID. Which was a first for me. I had always had someone check my ID for big races like this where I had to pick up my bib. I remember thinking it was a bit weird but didn't press the matter.
 
Just got back from Tokyo last month and spent 3 days at Disney Sea & Disneyland. While Disney Sea is incredibly well themed it just felt... wrong. The buildings around the entrance all had a European look and feel which seemed out of place. Although the ride theming at both parks was the best I've ever seen and I've been to DL, WDW, DLP and the two parks in Japan. I will say the popcorn choices were crazy though. You could have (between the two parks) white and milk chocolate, curry, salted, caramel, soy sauce and butter, barbeque, honey, black pepper, and herb tomato.

Of all the parks I've visited, Tokyo Disneyland is the best.

Since it took medications to get me on the plane (@cavepig, I feel your pain when it comes to flying) for the Japan trip, I don't think there's an overseas park I'd like to see at this point.

I am going to agree with you on Tokyo, the pictures of DisneySea do look amazing. I also really want to stay in an Alice in Wonderland room at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel.
 
I don't think I would take a vacation specifically for a Disney park in another country.

There is a chance I may be traveling to China to visit suppliers and if that happens, yes I would go to Shanghai Disneyland since that is where I would be flying into anyway. Might as well enjoy it when the only thing I'm having to pay for is my park ticket since airfare and hotel are taken care of! We are planning on doing Japan in the next few years but looking at our tentative plans of we want to do - we won't be able to fit in Disneyland/Disney Seas and I'm ok with that. I want to be able to see other things in life than just Disney.
