Your costumes were top-notch! Tell your mom hi! I don't know if she told you but she was on Main Street when I ran by and she recognized me and shouted me out! So nice to have a friendly face in that crowd.We were at Jambo house. No bus issues, we got out at 2:45 and got on the 1st bus right before it left. We chatted with bus driver on 10k run. Our bus group for AK both jambo and kadani were all from the same bus group in New York. So they all new each other and work together to make sure there was someone always there. We loved our 10k bus driver. He was soo friendly. Then mom started talking to the greeter in the front of Akl this morning about how there was bus issues at other resorts like beach club and she said they had 12 bus in the back and they were actively managing the busses to make sure there was always a bus for the run in the morning. So akl is on top of it. Also she said that disney did sweep early beacuse the run started later and they had to open the road. I think that is unfair, it is not their fault that disney started the run late. If they were keeping pace they paid a lot of money to be able complete it. We learned a lot waiting for our driver to the airport.
I had a great race. I want to do a more detail report later but this was everything I could have dreamed had the best of time and got to stop for characters. I loooved it soo much and this was the perfect half marathon for my first one and I cannot wait to try my first marathon at Disney in 2023! Basically this was my dream weekend I cried soo many happy tears this weekend.
Flying back home today
That bit about sweeping people early is horrendous and if I was an exec I'd have that greeter's head for telling people that, if what she said is true. Sweeping people earlier than the long-posted pace is definitely something a) you shouldn't do, but b) if you do it, shouldn't be spread around, that is just begging for trouble.
