My mother loves the Ritz - its where she usually stays in her various travels. In fact when she visits me in Naples, she doesn't stay with me and instead stays at one the two we have in town. She's also ok with the Grand Floridian but that was a little overpriced and my DVC points for VGF are all used up! We love being close to Disney Springs so my husband and I have no problems with SSR! Its also great you can usually get it last minute for DVC.
Some things at Marathon Weekend are still open. Glad you caught the RunDisney bug finally! Where does your husband want to go for his 30th? You already did Hawaii so you can't steal my 30th birthday trip I guess we could probably count Italy as our 10th anniversary splurge although it is like 4 months before our 10th anniversary so I guess I should save the actual celebration for either Disneyland for Star Wars 2018 or WDW for Princess 2018.
I actually just looked at the Marathon for 2018 after I responded to your post, and realized that the Half was still open. I saw SOLD OUT for a few of the events and thought for a minute it was all sold out. I'm thinking on it, but not totally convinced just yet. My husband has never done one but he would like to do the half. I'm just not sure about dropping the cash on it, and it will probably be full pretty soon. His 30th is in March, and he wants to go to Vegas to see everything, and there's a Nascar race in early March (the week after Princess weekend) - so there's no way we could do both, and I can't take this one away from him for his 30th! Italy sounds amaaaazing!! Are you doing a cruise, or touring? Why not celebrate twice, lol!
