@princess_jamie that is so disappointing.
You’ll still have a great time with dopey!@Sailormoon2 it's my own fault, but it's seriously disappointing. This is my one Dopey weekend ever and the dbf said this is likely the last time he'll come to WDW for a while and to make sure I do everything I want to and so I'm super bummed.

Too many crowds??of FP+s and HEA and it was a disaster
Too many crowds??
My wife and I have spent over 40 days in WDW this year. Yeah, burn out is real, even for those who really love WDW. We are still looking forward to the trip in January because so many friends and family will be traveling with us, but we will not be renewing our APs and plan to take about 18 months away from WDW before considering another trip. Too many rides down as Disney builds for 2021.I think the WDW burnout is real for me right now ... @mbwhitti and I could barely muster up the energy to make W&D FP+s. And now I have to think about Marathon Weekend already??
I know I will NOT be venturing to MK. I went yesterday for a couple of FP+s and HEA and it was a disaster.
It was SOOOO crowded and I swear that there are more double strollers out there than ever before, and so many that had one seat for a kiddo and the other seat taken up by just bags of crap.
This is one of the most crowded weeks during the fall,I have no clue if its a school break from the schools up north,I know Biketoberfest is going on in Daytona,Food and Wine always brings in people from across the state,it seemed like half of Miami was at Epcot yesterday.I spent time at Sea World,went to see Toad the wet sprocket at Epcot and then went to Celebration for Oktoberfest and each of them were jam packed.I spoke to someone at Epcot yesterday who needed another day in a hotel,they said they needed to go to Ocala cause Orlando was full.

I’m with you on MK burnout - I’m there too. Over Labor Day - my mother and I barely did any rides and were over the crowds quickly! Not even on the plans for my next three trips (Wine and Dine, Thanksgiving and Marathon weekend). Not sure about Princess or Dark Side yetWell, OK ... MK burnout though!!

I mean, what is even the point of doing Dopey if I don't get a purple shirt. At least the medal has purple but really if the shirt ends up being white I'll be crying very real tears.Cue the @Anisum tears in 3...2...
That was my initial thought but the 1/2 marathon has Donald and Mickey and presumably the 25 years as well. Plus they haven't recognized it as the anniversary of the 10k and the 5k as well as Dopey.Goofy makes sensse since the marathon is part of goofy. The 10k I would expect to have the 5 year thing like dopey does.
I'd like to get some Pandora fast passes or at least night time safari in AK since I haven't been there in forever. Otherwise I'm not all that worried about fast passes.Within the next week or so it will be Fastpass day for most of us. Is there one Fastpass you are looking to get for your Racecation?
Interesting that the medals (I assume all with the exception of Dopey but can only actually see Goofy Challenge and 5k) have 25 years Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend on the inside.
I'm guessing that to runDisney, the 25th anniversary of Marathon Weekend (and thus the 25th anniversary of runDisney, even if it wasn't called that at first) is a bigger deal than the 5th anniversary of Dopey/the 10K (and I guess the 25th 5K). I think it's sort of neat that the anniversary is commemorated on all of the medals, it sort of unifies them in a way.Goofy makes sensse since the marathon is part of goofy. The 10k I would expect to have the 5 year thing like dopey does.
If time goals aren't a big issue, I would go to a run/walk interval. I had the same problem when trying to run the the entire 26.2, but switched to run/walk and haven't had any cramping issues since. Added benefit, I ran faster times too.
