Just a little PSA from a local: HYDRATE, push those electrolytes, and be heat aware! While the races don’t look particularly challenging (though keep in mind, this is coming from a Floridian who needs a sweater when the temp dips below 75 lol!), park time outdoors in the heat and sun can...

:hug: I’m so very sorry.

This is just my own opinion, but it’s based on 30+ years of observation and usage as a WDW regular… FP wasn't significantly better. FP+ was about on par with G+. All 3 created issues with crowding and congestion, as people who previously would have been steadily moving (as in, not standing in...

Right? It’s SO much easier to stick to the rules when you don’t have a public spectacle in the mix. I worked in banking and I can’t tell you how many customers got a better interest rate simply by being loud. :headache:

I’m not at all familiar with DLR - are you saying that the DAS request spot will be outside of the parks’ entry? I saw someone indicate that DAS requests in the parks would still be via video chat, but conducted in a private room via tablet - I assumed that was for WDW and DLR, but didn’t pay...

I am convinced that this is the reason for changing to video calls only: to mostly* eliminate any scenes from public view. Speaking from the perspective of one who’s had to manage irate customers in a much less busy, but still public, space, being able to just hit “End Call” would have been a...

Also a heavy sweater - and live and run in FL, so my earbuds definitely get WET! I’ve been using these since Jan and haven’t had any issues yet. I dry them off and clean the exterior with rubbing alcohol, then leave them out of the charging case for an hour or so after use, just to be sure no...

I got a pair of JLab Go Air Sport wireless earbuds with ear loops real cheap on Amazon - their first outing was the WDW Half(of a Half) this year in the rain - no issues at all! I wear them all the time - they stay put in my tiny ears and the battery lasts forever.

I would think Disney would still enable GR in the parks to be able to add/remove people from DAS (or whatever new accommodation replaces it) users’ parties. There is no need to reevaluate the need for accommodation in that case - it’s only a matter of DAS user visiting with Guest B instead of...

I use yoga and Pilates plus dumbbells for my arms as my ST, and that happens twice a week, non-run days. I’ve tried combining with runways and my body said NO. Trial and error has shown me I do best keeping my days separated! I am VERY pro-bag and always carry one! I do a lot of day visits and...

SAFD: I’ve been making my own training plans for many years. They’re pretty basic: start with wherever I am currently with long runs and build from there at a slow, steady pace. I’ve had to back off high mileage a lot over the past year+, though, and I’m no longer doing b2b races, so that will...

This tracks with a micro cluster among some of my friends, in which 3 people with no POT and no Club rD have 20xxx-21xxx bib numbers and a Club rD person has a 23xxx. They’re quite mystified!

On face value, according to Disney’s current verbiage, I’m one whose needs would no longer qualify for DAS because mine is not a developmental disorder (though I really believe my needs will fall under the “and similar” umbrella, since they’re the same needs that are accommodated by DAS for...

Oh Baloo… I’m torn between wanting for you to be mentally prepared and not wanting to make you faint! I’ll leave it up to you…

I’m “only” doing the 10K, but seeing the forecast for race weekend, I’ve done my last few runs in the highest heat of the day… to be better acclimated for being in the parks. Race morning will be a little cool for me! :rotfl:

I’ve never worn them to actually run, but I have a couple pairs of Baleaf shorts with deep pockets I got from Amazon that I love! I wear them a lot in summer for theme-parking. They make a bunch of different lengths and styles - just have to sort through and find the length you like in the...

Floridian checking in to remind everyone to bring your sun protections of choice for daytime: it may feel like a weakish Spring sun elsewhere, but it’s basically summer here. Sunscreen, hats, umbrellas, sleeves - whatever your preference, bring them and use them!

For your amusement - I was just talking with my son who needs DAS about the changes and mentioned the talk here about Rider Switch accommodations… Him: I’d be down with that. Me: Well, it wouldn’t apply to us - Him: You could wait in the standby line and I’ll go sit somewhere and listen to...

I’ve run Genie a time or two for pure entertainment value - it’s TREMENDOUSLY bad if your goal is to reduce your time in lines! Like, hysterically, unapologetically in Disney’s favor, BAD! :rotfl: I’m friends with a number of CMs and parents of CMs and this topic has come up in conversation...

I’ve been thinking on this for a bit, trying to figure out how I can answer without inadvertently providing info a lurker could use to fake their way into a DAS… and I’m stumped - I honestly can’t find a way to explain without divulging too many details. I think the best I can do is say that for...
