Yay! What did you get? I'm making mine tonight and I'm hoping for:
Thursday: fly in that night - eat at the resort (All Star Movies)
Friday- Expo in the morning, then Hollywood Studios
Hollywood Brown Derby late lunch/early dinner
Saturday: 10K, quick nap and shower, then Epcot
Via Napoli early dinner
Sunday: Half marathon, nap and shower, then Magic Kingdom
dinner at Artist Point (which would be new to me!) or Be Our Guest because I never seem to get through a WDW trip without a stop there (I sure love that atmosphere).
I don't have too many opportunities for meals since, after Princess, we are going to be focused on Universal Studios, but I'm excited!
I haven't been to Artist Point for like 7 years, but last time I was there it was sooooooooooo good! We're going this year.
Our plans are:
Thursday - fly in midday, expo in the afternoon, no plans for dinner yet but somewhere not in the parks because we won't activate our park passes until Friday
Friday - 5K (just me), dinner at Jiko
Saturday - 10K (me and DH), dinner at Artist Point
Sunday - half (me and BFF), dinner at Be Our Guest
Disaster! Our TA was making our dining reservations this morning and discovered that Artist Point is closed the entire week of Princess. She said she suspects its for scheduled maintenance. What a bummer.
Any other suggestions for dinner close to Wilderness Lodge for Saturday night?
Oh shoot that is a bummer! I ended up reserving BOG dinner for the evening I was going to do Artist Point. . . you could do any of the resort restaurants around MK: CA Grill perhaps?Disaster!

Artist Point is up in the air right now and can’t be booked past a certain date in the fall. Rumors are circling right now that it’s going to be turned into character dining. There’s discussions floating around disboards about it.

I got the other ones I wanted, so I'm happy about that! Good luck to those doing your ADRs tomorrow!
Ma's running 10k and Half-Marathon, we arrive on Feb 22 (Friday). Would it be a better idea to arrive on Feb 21 (Thursday) instead? Just thinking about the weather and how our flight could get cancelled...

Are there discounted park tickets available to runners? I remember there was when I did the SW Half at DL years ago, but I didn't see anything that mentioned it on the web site.
I agree arriving on Thursday gives you a slight buffer. You never know if a big storm will cancel flights- and then end up affecting yours!

If you can I would definitely plan to arrive two days prior for peace of mind. Last year I ran the half on Sunday and had an early morning Friday flight that was randomly cancelled (no weather issues - a plane/mechanical issue). They rebooked me on an afternoon flight which ended up working out fine, but that’s exactly why I scheduled it the way I did in case something like that happened. If I didn’t have the cushion of the extra day between arrival and race day I would have been frazzled and it would have been a less than ideal afternoon/evening leading into a race the next day.Ma's running 10k and Half-Marathon, we arrive on Feb 22 (Friday).

Did you see the official announcement on Artist Point: https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...lderness-lodge/?CMP=SOC-DPFY18Q4wo0830180010A
I NEED to go. OMG I'm so excited. I just hope the food is good.
Artist Point has always had great food so I really hope it continues! And I have to say kudos to Disney for including the Evil Queen. People are always asking for villains so I think this is a good thing!
ETA: It says this winter so by Princess? Wonder when reservations will open?
