Are ears still available?

Yes

I hope that they'll still have a 13.1 magnet tomorrow when I get there. My daughter was disappointed that she wasn't able to get a magnet for the W&D HM. She has a nice collection from the races that she has run.

The racks were full so I would say chances are good...

 

[Mr_Incr3dible]

Didn't have time to hang around, so I picked up the mug and Goofy magnet.

@Mr_Incr3dible has first dibs. If someone else got it already, they'll be up for grabs.

I'll plan on getting them from you at HH. Thank you!

Um, fellow APs, I hope you already have your park reservations made… I just went to make one for Fri with friends and found it full: no parks left at all. Ditto for Sat.

Got my Dopey bibs and braved the merch area. Seemed to be a decent supply of a lot of things. MW jackets down to 2X and 3X, though.

Based on corral placement it looks like we’re going to have a historically fast field for the 5k & 10k! I’m in Corral A for the half/full but Corral C for the 5k/10k. All I can conclude is that it’s going to be blazing fast out there tomorrow!

I had been trying for three days to book Epcot for Friday. All reservations for all parks from the AP bucket and resort guest bucket were full. I kept refreshing the screen while I ate lunch today and was able to get into Epcot. I cannot remember the last time we have been 100% locked out of a park day.

Corral C for the 5k/10k

What do you put for estimated pace?

That’s bonkers. I’m in B for the half/full and A for 5K/10K. My husband is running the 10K and was put in B. I entered 8-10 on both our entries. He has a low bib number so I assumed he’d be in A

ETA: I would go to runner relations and ask them to change it.

I've been debating whether or not to buy a ticket for Saturday - still shows as all parks open for non-AP - wondering if there's a risk they would sell out. I'd like do DHS. If the half were cancelled Saturday would be a very long day hanging out at the resort....

I can still make a park reservation with my regular tickets, but nothing is available with my AP. For Friday, I've got my kiddo booked for Hollywood Studios with the AP, and I managed to book Epcot with my AP a few days ago. My plan is to hop over with kiddo after 2pm.

I’m wondering how much capacity is being put into the AP buckets especially as after the 9th they are the only ones who need to make reservations

8:00-10:00/mile. That usually puts me in B.

If it were for the half/full, I’d definitely do that. Not worth the hassle for the 5k/10k. For tomorrow it’ll just mean more up front waiting and less waiting for the buses to clear at the end.

 

[camaker]

Not sure how the formatting got so out of whack on that last post…

 

[rundisfan]

Starting to wonder if they assigned the 5k/10k dopey corrals randomly this year?

 

[DopeyBadger]

8:00-10:00/mile. That usually puts me in B.

Agreed. Especially since @Bree, also a Dopey, put 8-10 and was given A. That's quite the disparity. May be something to look into more post-race, so all my Dopeys keep what you had registered for 5k/10k in your notes somewhere so that we can discuss at a later time. It'll be interesting to align that data with solo 5k/10k runners as well.

 

[MissLiss279]

I am corral B for the 5/10k’s with the 8-10 estimated pace.

 

[Disneyhanna]

The Co Op in Disney springs has some race related things already! I imagine you can print these to anything! Ornaments are a hard plastic.

There was someone in front of my in bib pickup with Dopey bib #201XX who looked like their bib said C for the 5K/10K. But I thought I must have misread it. Maybe it was you?

Probably not. I’m 206**, but I’ll keep dreaming about being fast enough to get into the 201**s!
