Official Wine & Dine 2018

[CamColt]

I have been having some health issues since late aug that stopped my training dead in its tracks. I am finally feeling better but since my last run was in Aug, I decided it just wouldn’t be smart to do the half this year. I am very sad about it and no one really gets it. I worked my butt off all summer. Did everything right and my body just said nope.
I am happy to finally be feeling better but I don’t really see traveling to Disney for another run in the future. I wouldn’t feel right going without my family and I don’t love all the price increases that are rough for a family of 5.

Anyway, I do have a party ticket if someone wants it. My email is dian609@yahoo.com.

I'm sorry to hear this! It's too bad our bodies don't listen to our minds. Good luck getting back into it.

So if I read that correctly, none of festival booths are open during the post race party?

Everything except festival center open if I read right so no craft beer or mimosa bar

I’m surprised only four attractions. Is that normal?

So in the Hollywood Studios Impact link, it states: "As a reminder, morning Extra Magic Hours has been adjusted to evening Extra Magic Hours on Monday, Nov. 5."

I've not seen that information listed anywhere else, and the disney website doesn't show any EMH for HS that day or any other day that week. Does anyone have any confirmation on this?

I wanna say last year it was just Frozen, Test Track, Soarin, Mission: Space and SSE.

Have we seen any actual race shirts yet (not the “I Dit It” shirts)? Or do those usually come out later this week?

Those should come this week.

 

[Capang]

I can't believe we are so close. I haven't packed, figured out race clothes (I'm not even gonna try to pull together a costume at this point), or finished sub plans for work. I have no idea how I am getting to the airport or how I am getting home. All I have done is complete my training and signed my waivers. Ahh stress.

So for the events at the Interactive Zone....are those usually a packed house or do I not need to stress about getting into a session?? First RunDisney event, so I have no idea what to expect there.

Oh duh - it was right there in number two. Reading can be tough.

I just added my After Party tickets to my MDE, is it possible to get fastpass for the hours between 8-9? Or do I run the risk of having fast passes deleted since I only have 2 day park tickets and the After party tickets?

It could go either way. What days are you using your park tickets? If the after party is the last ticket you'll use then those would most likely be the fp that get deleted. From what I've read when people use MNSSHP or MVMCP for fp it's the last ticket day that Dis will cancel if they don't take the party fp's off.

2 years ago we didn't find that we needed an fp. The lines weren't bad before the party for what we did, we saved TT and Soarin until the party and walked on both on our way out of the park.

There's also that hour between park close and the party starting, so if you don't want to watch illuminations or see the last show in American Adventure (I'm hoping they still have one at 9 that we can do) then you could get in line for something right before close and not miss out on anything but sitting around.

I was all packed and then I checked the weather and now it’s calling for rain at the end of the week. Going to have to toss in a few more things. Ugh...

Weather update

 

[Dis_Yoda]

I’m all packed! Ready for it to be Thursday morning!

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

I think it comes from the years when I used to travel every two weeks for work and could pack in my sleep (I think I might have sometimes, I was so tired from that!), but I only pack the day before for our family of four. Coming on here makes me feel ill-prepared, though!

 

[Eeyores#1Fan]

I've started pulling clothes out but won't finish packing until Thurs morn. as we leave Thurs night. I too travel a lot for work and personally so sometimes the most I'll do is put options in our 2nd living room which becomes a staging area

For me, it’s more so I know that I have a lot going on the next three days (work, dog training classes, halloween) so it made sense to pack while I was dealing with laundry anyway.

Hello,
What does the after party ticket look like? I got what looks like a gift card and don't recall any other mail. Thanks, TK
