Did W&D in 2012 and doing Marathon in 11 days. You can definitely use it as a training run.

Yes, it is at night. Yes, the first year was bad.
But every year has been an improvement.

Plan on being slower that normal because:
1) Even at night in December it is warm.
2) It's hard to stay off your feet all day at Disney, I had 10 miles on my pedometer by race start.

It's a great race. AK and DHS are fun to run through. The Osborne lights will be up. How's that for inspiration.

I really want to do this but we have a cruise the very next week. I will be on the rail until the dates are final and I can price travel.

I want the WnD to be my first half.

Does anyone know if I can use my time from a 7 mile mini to better my corral and what that time would have to be in order to help?

Thanx!!!!

I don't mean to sound stupid, but where did you find that info? I was just looking on RunDisney and didn't see anything listed.

Thanks!

Subbing.
DH and I are headed down to do a couples weekend with friends but I'd love to squeeze in a race. Only problem is they are non-runners.

I could possibly do the 5K with DH, it wouldn't take a huge amount of time away from the friends.
Is the race at night like Everest?

sillylily · 01-08-2013, 04:40 AM

I am all in! I'll be running the half marathon, and I can't wait!

dougb0 · 01-08-2013, 07:59 AM

Hi all,

This will be my first runDisney race, and my first (or second if I do another one this summer) half. I'll run with my brother-in-law, once I convince him! Most importantly, the race will be on my birthday! What an awesome present!

Cinderelley · 01-08-2013, 02:21 PM

My sister and I will be running in this one! We just ran our first 5k this past October! If the 1/2 marathon doesn't kill us, we'll run a full marathon! The 5k was initially my plan and I almost quit but I couldn't let my sister show me up. Now look where we're headed! Me and my big mouth!

OregonGirl · 01-09-2013, 12:24 AM

OMG I am totally in! Ran it in 2011 and loved it!!

Then ran the 2012 Princess, and the 2012 Disneyland Half, and the Wine & Dine remains my favorite.

Hope to also do the Disneyland Half in 2013 for my second coast to coast. Yay!

CamColt · 01-09-2013, 10:53 AM

DH and I are throwing around the idea of trying this. It will be the first 1/2 for both of us. For those who had done this, any words of advice or encouragement? Anything a first timer (for any Run Disney race) should know?

ArmyVet80 · 01-09-2013, 11:05 AM

My wife and some of her co workers plan on running in the Wine and Dine in 2013. I would have but ended up dislocating my knee cap and tearing up my knee pretty good. I guess they will have a cheer section now.

They are going to run the Mini 500 Festival half marathon here in Indianapolis as a warm up run for the Wine and Dine.

DCbride · 01-12-2013, 09:14 AM

2012 W&D was my first half- I loved it. we are definitely going 11/6-11/11. if the date stays the same I will run it again. last time I did the 5 k in the morning. I will skip that in 2013. WAY too long of a day since we couldn't stay out of the parks.

typing on my kindle and not doing well with caps I see

Disney52303 · 01-13-2013, 07:27 AM

I am in! I did the princess half in 2010 and castaway cay 5k in April 2012

we coincidentally have a trip planned during this race so I can't not so it, right!? We booked before we saw the date!

I am prepared for an exhausting weekend. We are DVC and staying club level at AKL... And planning the sunrise safari on the morning of the 10th. Eek! We don't have a choice on dates

Can't wait to get to know some fellow runners!

rebapple · 01-13-2013, 10:01 AM

If it is the 8-9th does the half take place the night of the 9th if so will the expo be open for packet pickup that morning? I work for a department store and are not allowed vacation time in November or December, so I was hoping to fly out the 8th at night or 9th in the morning and back the 10th
