44?!? You know how much closer to death that puts me?

Not a child of the Nixon era...close...but not quite.

Huh... I would have guessed (at least) 50, especially given the wealth of DEEP Disney knowledge going back to Eisner era... what were you, an intern there, then?? ;)
 
rteetz said:
Yeah and its definitely been discussed a lot. I just don't think runDisney would feel it would be worth it to only do 10Ks and 5Ks especially with the on going construction.

Wouldn't be worth it to draw extra people in to charge them a fortune, huh?
 
rteetz said:
I don’t think it would draw as many as you’d think. Disneyland races drew more locals and the response for people who are asked this question is numerous runDisney groups say they wouldn’t be drawn to that.

The question is what's the overhead outlay? I think rundisney events are fairly cheap. If that's the case there's no downside.

I get the runner culture though (I'm on IR due to the a bone spur and tendinitis though)...10Ks are a "waste of time"

...this is usually where I remind the marathoners that the first guy celebrated his victory by DYING....6 miles breaks a sweat still.

An $80 5K is not cheap.

just saw that and perhaps I have just been totally distorted by Disney pricing but that seems really not that bad. $2,775 for a family of 4 at Coronado for 5 nights, 4 day park hoppers with all the extras including special EMH to Pandora? That's not really that bad considering that is peak time to go with schools being out

Yeah, if you want that X-Mas party, it's a good deal. Tickets alone are $1680. Add in almost $440 for the X-Mas party, and you are talking $127/night for the room. I'm shocked at this deal considering I always considering the week before X-Mas through New Years as the busiest time to visit.

That was something discussed in many runDisney groups. I don’t think a small race weekend with only a 5K and 10K would be a draw.

Agreed. We've done... I think 7 of these weekends... others coming up in Nov and Apr. We wouldn't bother if it wasn't for the half.

Oh no argument...that's a separate issue.

That's disney though...charge 200% retail cause they can't resist. But the goal isn't to "profit" off the races...it's to reap the ancillary prices.

They are that cow that just can't resist peeing on the electric fence. The races could easily be free and they'd rake.

That is a good deal...I'd jump on it...if I was a completely different person...seriously.

The busy time is 12/22-1/2. Professionals typically work extra right up until the holiday and load up into the break/end of the year. Bonuses...you know...or financial cloeout.

So that week is typically pretty soft...except dvc.
