There's someone in that group that is known for making fake tweets like this for fun...I wouldn't sweat it just yet.This is what was posted. I checked rD’s Twitter account and could not find the same post. I guess people have nothing better to do than to make stuff up.

Seriously?? This is why I like this group better.Yep, that's the one the admin kept talking about. Same admin that does the "how many kills" things, counting how many (mainly female, of course) runners he passes when he starts from the back and calling them "kills".
Am I correct when I say the half marathon does not run past the hotels around Crescent Lake (Boardwalk, Yacht, Beach club)?
Would it be better to stay at a MK resort for ease of spectating?
Thanks. I’m going to move us to Bay Lake Tower. I’m a new runner and will definitely be able to do the 10k. My daughter, a seasoned half marathon runner, wants me to do the half instead. A bit intimidating. Have to decide soon.Correct. The 10k does, but not the half.

That tweet is dated in April, and is just now coming to light? Has to be a fake. That info would have been posted here immediately, yet the first we've heard of that alleged tweet is July? "We thank our Princesses for their services over the last decade"? I can't see them announcing the discontinuation of the event that way at all.

Thanks for the encouragement. That what she says.I believe that anyone who can run a 10K can run a half marathon. The half marathon is a pretty friendly distance if you train.

I’m in that group and I don’t think the “kills” is as bad as it’s being made out to be. They have a Dead Last Start group that sets out to see how many people they can pass after literally being the last ones to cross the starting line. A woman actually set a PR for a half this year even though she was the very last person in the very last corral to cross the starting line.
I agree. Maybe the word choice isn't the best but I think it was started as a way to prove that less-than-ideal corral placement isn't the end of the world (I think he even says that in the yearly round-up posts, not sure as I left the group a few months ago). I really do not think there is any malicious intent, but that's just my opinion.I’m in that group and I don’t think the “kills” is as bad as it’s being made out to be.

And now my feelings about it.
They’ve changed the concept over the last couple years to the DLS.
Doesn’t matter to me. It’s misogynistic (bc it was started by a man at a female-focused event) and vile. They should try it at a race that’s overall faster than the Princess field is. See how that goes for them.
And I will add if I ever do just lose all my social graces, it’s going to happen in the produce section at the grocery store. Who needs to hip check a person to get to the tomatoes?!?!!
I am a DL annual passholder and am planning on doing the pre-registration on Aug 2nd. I cannot get into the passholder benefits on the Disneyland site, with the potential link for the Run Disney registration. I go around and around in circles on the site asking me for my passport number because it is not linked, and then telling me my passport is already linked. Ugh. One part of the site shows all my passports linked, however I cannot see/use the benefits. I swear, Disney's IT is about to put me over the edge. Has anyone had a similar problem?
