Marathon Weekend 2020

Someone already has 5 of them for sale on eBay. Why Disney allows this continues to amaze me.

The only thing that Disney cares about is getting all the items sold.

Finally got on RoTR at 3:00. We were approaching our hard cutoff for whether we’d get in or not. Camping out waiting for it to reopen kind of paid off. Made it to our 4:00 dinner reservation barely and still have to hit the expo after.

I liked the attraction. It’s a little oversold in my opinion. The process is the worst experience I’ve had with anything at Disney. I would’ve slept in and skipped it if I’d known how things would go.

i would not be surprised to see it on ebay soon.... mind you sometimes i find it available months later at even lower prices that at disney. they seemed ro have verrrrrrry verrrry few pins... i wonder if they will have more tomorrow.. ie they may be spacing them out, i hope

I did that last year for a hat I wanted too late. I just ordered a NYC marathon jacket for 70% off the expo price.

When it breaks down, it’s frustrating. The restaurants are pretty flexible though. When I was here last month, I had a Candlelight Processional Package reservation at 1 pm for Via Napoli. When it was pretty obvious my boarding group was close to being called, I told them the situation and asked if I could be seated early and they got me in right away. I’d guess if you were late based on ROTR, especially when it has been breaking down, they’d be understanding.

Just got an email that DHS opens at 7am Sunday! Can’t wait.
Will be there that day for ROTR.

Argh, thanks for the heads up. That’s my DHS day, too. On one hand, that’s great because a lot of people probably won’t know they extended hours on such short notice. On the other hand, I’m bummed to have to miss out on plant-based Pop waffles because I’ll have to leave before the food court opens.

He looks just like @lhermiston, but shorter. #twins

After a 5 hour wait I finally got my room. My day started at 3am and still going strong... Who am I kidding? I am ready to face-plant on my bed. Four more days of this??? The cliche is true the hardest part of Dopey is getting up so early for four straight days! Good luck to everyone running the 5K!

Did anyone else not have to show ID at packet pickup? The very friendly volunteer took my waiver but never asked to see my ID. I feel like Patty Pan.

They recognized you from all the previous years...

 

[CDKG]

This is how I fuel for a 5k... I’ll be seeing some of you in the morning!

 

[Z-Knight]

@rteetz BTW, I wrote "Hey Dude" next to your name in the Dopey sign-in book.

I was wondering who that was!

 

[LdyStormy76]

Good luck to everyone over the next four days.

Like others, I am at home cheering for you.

PS, if anyone thinks about it one morning, would you look at the Charity booths as you walk past? Wondering if they all have tents and chairs or if they are simply booths. Thanks

I’m seeing double. It’s uncanny.

 

[Sir Aaron]

hot. I had the flu. I puked on the plane on the way down on Thursday and barely ate anything the next two days.

I just got a cold. Symptoms started last night. It's going to be miserable for the marathon.

 

[pinkxray]

Is anyone there now and staying at one of the Epcot resorts? I’d like to see the official paper they hand out for marathon morning about the pathway to DHS and boats. I have asked here before and it seems like half of people saying the pathway is closed while others say it is open. Wondering if there is any official word yet as to walking to DHS from Boardwalk resort on Sunday.
