    Marathon Weekend 2025

    hmm... I'll take that into account. It's also her birthday so she gets to choose park: so maybe I'll adjust where we book so she's not reliant upon busses.

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    Does anyone have a thread or a read on when parks open on marathon day? DW is unlikely to get up early but I'm wondering which park she wants to go to that day and trying to see if she would see me run. OTOH she usually doesn't see me run and she probably wants to enjoy her rope drop at a park.

    I've only had it at WDW when booking with pre-existing MDE profiles that have birthdates or ages on them already.

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    we were having a similar issue with hotel booking b/c DS15 will be 16 by then, but then I tried to use his profile on the hotel reservation and they spit an age mismatch error. it's like their systems can't accurately calculate an age on a certain future date.

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    OK; now that I've made this...decision... and I'm pondering at lunch, I have questions: Are there advantages to any particular hotel? Is there transportation to the start line from on property hotels for the start? Where is the expo? If I'm not shopping at the expo (which is my general MO for...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    TIL: you have to be 18 to do the full. DS 15 was all in on a full but is signed up for the half. He could probably run a decent half tomorrow with no training. I, OTOH have 250 days to get ready for the full...

    Universal Hollywood tips

    on early entry tips from last week: they start scanning people in half an hour before early entry is listed as starting, then queue on the entry street in the upper lot, then about 15 minutes before ealry entry they start walking everyone down. we were in the line for bowser at 7:56 for an...

    Has Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk become a credit card only place now?

    SFDK and CGA are also cashless parks (or were when we last visited them). It's one of the reasons I got DS15 and DD12 debit cards in the first place, was that so many places were cashless. They both have them set up to apple pay on their phones as well.

    Spend the day in LA?

    It is feasible: There are a lot of in and outs in the LA area, including one right by LAX. I'd do some research to figure out what you're wanting to visit. Not sure if you're just going to explore or if you have specific sights you want to see. Some "sights" Angels Flight funicular - DTLA...
