SAFD: Never getting a tattoo. Although now I have the Weird Al song Another Tattoo playing in my head after seeing
@Dis_Yoda post pictures of her husband's Boba Feet tattoo. "Check out this rad Boba Fest. He's playing clarinet."
Sorry if this has already been asked; my wife and I are running the half marathon in January. We are interested in what the best resorts to stay at for marathon weekend? For background purposes, my wife is the runner, I am not so this will be a difficult ordeal for me train for. Also, i am signed up to run with the American Cancer Society team, as i am currently going through chemotherapy for stage 4 esophageal cancer (diagnosed in November 2018, spread to liver and pancreas); all tumors are shrinking drastically up to this point. Thank you in advance for the advice.
Best of luck in chemo. Very inspiring.
For race weekends, I have stayed at All Star Sports, Port Orleans Riverside and French Quarter (twice). I'm staying at All Star Movies in January for marathon weekend before heading back to French Quarter for Star Wars Rival Run next April. Of the ones I have stayed at, my preference for race weekend is absolutely French Quarter because of its compact feel and proximity to Epcot.
Depends on what you are looking for and budget. Really all of the resorts are good options for marathon weekend.
This is absolutely true. While I certainly have my preference for what I like, I would not hesitate to stay at a value again if that's what worked for me.
Minnie gets ousted and doesn’t even get her own race.
I can see where this really disappoints people. If only because they put Minnie on the marathon medal, I'm okay with it.
As a side note, I like the Olympic wreath on Mickey's head. That's kind of a fun running touch in my opinion.
It’s kind of strange that the 10K has all four parks on it.
I saw that. Maybe it was a mistake that will get fixed. Didn't this year's 10K only go through Epcot?
Chip and Dale (wouldn’t that be nuts) both pop to mind.
Those two were my hope. I talked myself into Dopey over Goofy just in case they gave Chip and Dale a medal in 2020. I knew it may not happen though so I can't be upset about Chip and Dale not being on the 10K medal just because I wanted it.
I understand his history and I’m prepared for the backlash.
Oswald does nothing for me. I don’t understand retrofitting him into these race themes. The lack of continuity bothers me and it feels entirely forced and unnecessary.
I was happy for the Oswald 5K medal last year because of that whole story and everything, but I also agree that he doesn't really fit with the other characters they're using here. If the company wants to make Oswald popular, it might happen if they start by making new Oswald shorts.
It was a nice novelty thing for the 5K last year but now its definitely forced by making him the 10K.
At least for me, I'm excited that Pluto is back for the 5K because I will now have a Pluto medal, which should be fun.
And now I’m amusing myself by picturing a Chip & Dale theme called “You’re Nuts” which is Dopey plus any of the resorts fun run 3Ks. LMAO.
I would so sign up for that. As it is, I bought the Chip and Dale "I run with a chip on my shoulder" tech shirt at marathon weekend because Chip and Dale.
Any other cynics here think they released the themes this early to boost registration numbers? No, just me?
If the reason was to stir up excitement and most of the reaction here has been less than excited, it might have backfired. It will be interesting to see the reaction. It would have been much worse if they had taken Minnie out of marathon weekend altogether. At least we know that the marathon weekend medal should be quite different.
