I'm trying my hand at a full out trip report for the first time and just got it started: Run Hard, Stop for Pictures, Eat Everything: A 2016 Wine & Dine Race Weekend Trip Report
Like some crazy nut, I'm over looking at the Star Wars weekend in April! Seems like the thing to do at the moment!

Same here. Just looked at airfare and available DVC rooms. W&D was my first half of any kind, and I'm totally hooked. I'm already planning to do the 2018 Marathon Weekend half, but that's a long way off. I've also signed up for the Virginia Wine Destination Race in June, but it's not Disney. The Star Wars is looking mighty tempting.

Expo: Why I keep going to the opening is beyond me because it totally stresses me out with the chaos. Plus, I spent a lot of time standing around with a lot of rude, fighting people waiting for my stemless wine glass. I was disappointed that they didn't have the Tervis tumblers. I use my Princess one daily and would have loved another one to rotate. They had me put my name and number on a list, but I don't know what will come of that. Someone said they would be on the shop parks ap. Only time will tell.
Certificates are up- http://winedine.rundisney.events/
and some overall pictures here http://rodale-usa.instantmagazine.com/rundisney/dwwdhm16post#!/winedine-5k-rundisney-kids-races
if you scroll right the others races show up too
Yeah, they use to be better, these are pretty lame I agree.I don't know if anyone actually prints out their certificates... but ugh. I guess it looks nice on my screen, but it's not a certificate, doesn't have Remy or Lumiere's signature. I can't do anything with it. Oh, well.

I am keeping my eyes out for the Tervis. I'd love to have one of them!
Oh I'm so sorry for whatever happened.Talking about post race/Disney blues, my life changed completely for the worse 2 days after I got back. I would do anything to turn back time and just never leave Disney (no one died though, so it could still be worse)
For me, it was not swimming weather, not hot enough for me (even in Nebraska I need hot weather to swim). It was breezy and 70s mostly (maybe a low 80 in there not sure). It was cool in the evenings after the race weekend. But, I did see people swimming, the pools are heated I think. I know I swam in November at AOA and once even at night and the water was very warm in the past.Can I ask you all a weather question since you are all freshly back from WDW. I am planning on being there with my family next year for the week prior and probably including W&D race weekend. Was it pool/swimming weather? I am from the midwest for reference. Sounds like the half day was warm?
Deciding between some resorts and wondering how much the pool should play into my decision.
Thanks!

If it makes you feel any better, I DID get the backdrop pictures and they are awful. Sort of funny because the on-course ones look great, listing-wise, but they can't get the medal ones right?? You'd think these would be the easiest ones for them to take since we're just standing there...So, photopass emailed back and couldn't find my 10k backdrop post race pic (the white with mickey) oh well, at least they found Lumiere.
And read on facebook people were getting their preorder jacket in (along with an extra tshirt added in) That then seems like a shipping error cause I can't see them getting them fixed and out so fast if it was spelling on them.
I would agree with the other posters, not quite swimming weather but very nice overall.Can I ask you all a weather question since you are all freshly back from WDW.
