I'm so excited! My running buddy and I are definitely in for the Rebel Challenge, and hopefully we can talk my best friend into it as well!
I still don't get why they would move Tinker Bell to May instead of just scheduling the Star Wars half in May. I'll be coming down for both regardless, but it just doesn't make much sense to me.
I was super scared about getting into Avengers and now with this one....yikes.
I bet it sells out in less than 12 Parsecs.
Ive done a couple DL and a couple WDW 1/2's and here are my thoughts:
It's VERY different. If you can swing it cost wise I highly recommend staying at one of the 3 DL hotels. I prefer the Paradise Pier (which is the least expensive of the 3). Not really knowing where the start and finish lines will be, but if they are like Tink at all, it is right outside of this hotel. My corral (D) was like 40 feet from the entrance. IT WAS AMAZING.
Not sure on the good neighbor hotels, I know a lot of people can help out with that.

If you stay on Harbor or Katella, you can most definitely walk. There is a free shuttle on race weekends but unless you are staying at one of the further away hotels you probably dont need it. The first year I did Tink I stayed at Hojo's and I walked over in the morning. Took me about 20 minutes. And there are many hotels that are closer that Hojo.
Right now DL is not allowing booking for any of their hotels past this year. So I will have to wait. I am guessing their hotel prices are kind of like WDW...in the 200- and up up up range I gather. I would rather stay at one of their hotels tho...if at least for the night of the race....but this will depend on cost.
After how quick Avengers sold out, no doubt, def less than 12 Parsecs.

Definitely $200 and up. Both Grand Cal and DL Hotel are considered deluxe, so let that be your guide. And although paradise pier is cheaper, it's moderately cheaper....
We stayed at the Anabella for Tink and it was easily walkable. Love that hotel.
Lol, I thought I'd be able to handle this, but I guess the nerd in me can't! A Parsec is a unit of distance, not time! Hope I'm not embarrassing myself too much
Per DW, if I can find someone to split the hotel bill, & I can register, then I can go.
I'm definitely in for the Rebel Challenge, and possibly the 5K as we'll. I'll decide that soon!
