I love my Dopey Jacket.
I wonder if they'd still have them at 2ish pm.

Has anyone experienced a big curveball on their way to 2018 marathon weekend?
I don't want to come across as an episode of Jerry Springer here, but I separated from my partner a few weeks ago. It is a sad time and one with a lot of change, I have found a new place to live, and am slowly going through motions of a breakup from a long-term relationship.
Additionally, we booked our trip and have everything paid for. We are still going to be friends, and he will be running Dopey, and I am doing marathon. His family, who I still get along with, will be there too (in separate rooms).
So it's definitely a different road to marathon weekend than I was anticipating. I've pretty much stopped running all month, and need to catch up. And I'll need to get used to running in a new neighbourhood.
But it's great to have this to focus my energy on, fully step into to sort out some thoughts, and I know it'll be great to be at WDW marathon weekend, even if it's not what I'd originally envisioned. And I am lucky, this does not affect my ability to run, or challenge my health.
Take care all, and may any challenges you are going through help make you stronger.
I think 5th anniversary Dopey stuff will be a hot ticket item too.
I'm not too worried about the pins since I preorder them. I definitely expect things to sell out I'm just wondering if every jacket and/or hoodie is going to sell out? Last year they had at least two for the marathon that I saw in the previews and one for Dopey. I know the half had at least two or three and one of which was the 20th anniversary one. I guess I'm just hoping that with the sheer quantity of designs I'll be able to get one for the events I'm running even if it doesn't have the anniversary specialness on it. I mean I can go when it opens. I guess I'll have to think about it some more.Not to be a downer but my guess is that if somethings going to sell out it will be a 25th anniversary item. Last year it was the 20th anniversary of the half and the main thing that sold out was the special pin for that race.
They do usually restock in the afternoons, so it's quite possible they could sell out early, and then be back later in the day. Of course, it's also possible they won't... it's a roll of the dice, to be sure.I wonder if they'd still have them at 2ish pm.
IDK anything about the new places, but Il Mulino goes down as one of the best meals I've had a t WDW!I've been reading about the 2 new Italian restaurants opening soon at Disney Springs. Looks like they will be open late fall 2017, anyone else looking to book an ADR for marathon weekend? We have Via Napoli Friday night and Il Mulino for Saturday but hoping to book the new DS restaurant instead of Il Mulino. We've never eaten at Il Mulino so not sure if we should keep it or roll the dice on something new. I know one of the new places Maria & Enzo's, is run by the same people who runs Via Napoli so I'm sure that one will be very good.

That's tough! HUGS!!! I hope you will be able to use your training as "therapy" time. I don't know what I would do without my two BRFs who have gotten me through my problems over the past two years. Hopefully you can find a running partner as I think it would get you motivated.Has anyone experienced a big curveball on their way to 2018 marathon weekend?

Nice! I lived in Columbus for 10 years. We looked to Cleveland for baseball, basketball and hockey (Jackets fans loved following their little Lake Erie Monster brothers). Just like you, we kinda ignored the Browns, export to take bets on who's the quarterback this week?The Jake, Gund Arena (The Q), and...never got into the Browns. I think life has been more pleasant that way.
Definitely book another room for one of you and stay separately, preferably splitting the cost since you already paid for everything else together. Make it a clean break.Has anyone experienced a big curveball on their way to 2018 marathon weekend?

Since we are leaving for Disney in 12 days and plan on attending MNSSHP, I guess I would have to say Halloween.Happy Sunday!
Sundays of course are for Disney.
Today's question: the holidays are quickly coming up and Disney is already celebrating Halloween. If you could spend one holiday at Disney what would it be?
That sucks hope you're better soon!Going at Christmastime is on my bucket list, but I would not want to go on Christmas Day.
It was pretty awesome just seeing the castle lit up with holiday lights over marathon weekend.
Unrelated: I've been been by the injury bug. I have pain on the top of my foot/ankle on and off all month. Got through 16 miles last Sunday and four on Tuesday, but cut Thursday's run short at a mile. Got new shoes on Friday and attempted another 16 this morning. Made it about 1.5 miles before the pain flared up. Walk/ran another 5.
I'm going to take it easy until next Saturday and see how it goes then. Really hoping I don't have a stress fracture.
Thanksgiving, because it would be the perfect excuse to avoid a family gathering. Plus no pressure to cook!Happy Sunday!

My answer: I would love to wake up Christmas morning in a Disney resort and get to spend that day in the Magic Kingdom or at the resort. That would be an almost perfect day to me.
