Does that mean that you can pickup from the expo on Saturday afternoon?

The back of our RunDisney snack boxes that we received this weekend says Nov 8-9 for Wine and Dine.

I'm not sure- I have a friend who was there this year so I will ask her if she remembers.

I know it! Who knows when/if we will stay CL again and DH REALLY wants to do this (and since I want to do the race, it's all or nothing lol). The Sunrise Safari is Sunday/Thursday only. And Thursday we leave for a cruise on the Dream! So Sunday it is. Our plan immediately after teh safari is go back to the room to sleep before we head to a park that afternoon!

There was a save the date on the back of the 2012 brochure, that's where I saw it when someone scanned it in.

Hoping to do this one for sure this year!! Hopefully airfare goes down before it though... $450 is a little too rich for my blood.

wood8176 · 01-15-2013, 08:46 AM

I don't know how I missed this thread for so long!

I will be joining everyone for the 2013 Wine and Dine with my wife, brother and his girlfriend for certain. So you can add Wood8176+3 to the list. I made our reservation back in December for a Treehouse Villa with fingers crossed that the date wouldn't change.

This is our second RunDisney event. Brother and I ran Goofy back in 2011, Wife did Marathon '11. This will be the first half for my brother's girlfriend.

Go W.I.S.H.er's! Go Rebels!

Count me in! It'll be over my birthday weekend too should this should be a lot of fun! i'm so excited! it'll be my 2nd half this year!

bigtony777 · 01-16-2013, 02:24 PM

My wife and I will be running our 4th wine and dine half. This is our favorite half marathon. Can't beat finishing a race with the option of so many drink and food choices!

FloridaNative8 · 01-17-2013, 02:14 PM

My husband and I will be doing this 1/2! My first 1/2 ever was the W&D 2010, and it taught me a lot about races!

So excited to be doing this race, it fits right in to our training for Marathon Weekend 2014!

bungchiwow · 01-17-2013, 04:43 PM

We'll be running this one as well!

For those asking about the expo and such, I found a pdf of last years program:
as1.wdpromedia.com/media/rundisney/pdf/wine-dine/2012/WnD12Program.pdf

It shows expo hours, course map, etc...Granted, Disney could always change it.

MonkeyDishwasher · 01-17-2013, 07:43 PM

Does anybody have links to any TRs from this past years run? I have signatures turned off, so I never see those.

Yep! That's what DH and I did last year. Flew in Friday night, slept in, had breakfast, hit the expo, drove the course, picked up my pre-race subway sandwich and then went back to rest. Expo was a lot of fun. But you end up having to walk through nearly all of the WWOS to get all your stuff - bibs in one place, expo booths and race shirts in the other, spectator gift cards in another location.

So happy I found you all on here!!! Hubby wants to run this year. He is also running in the half at DL in Aug. He would like to do the coast to coast challenge.

Looking forward to both.
