Marathon Weekend 2018

[rteetz]

I'm not sure these are even rundisney related...much like the belle ones from new balance. And they are available now but not sure if in the US now that I look closer into the links.

They aren’t but I’m honestly surprised they didn’t do it with New Balance.

Happy Sunday! Hope everyone had a great week!

Today’s Sundays are for Disney question:

Where are you staying for Marathon weekend?

My answer: Bay Lake Tower. It’s my first time there or at an MK resort in general so I’m incredibly excited for that.

Add us to the BC crew! We splurged on a deluxe room this time!

Thinking about it now why hasn’t Disney done Dopey running shoes yet? I mean I would totally buy a pair.

You'd buy anything with Dopey on it

I just might. I mean I already have Dumbo, Donald, Goofy, and Space Mountain shoes...

Lots of people staying DVC/Villas! How many of you guys utilize your kitchen? Do you cook some of your preferred running meals to play it safe? Or do you eat out and enjoy a chore free vacation regardless?

We always stay in a studio so though we only have a kitchenette I love the ability to toast and microwave race morning breakfasts!

Pop Century for me. I’ve stayed in several places for marathon weekend, and I keep returning to Pop because in my opinion, it has the best event bus system: one central stop, next door to the expo, and only sharing with AoA, as well as very frequent dedicated buses on race morning. Staying in an Epcot area resort was a nightmare.

I agree, re: Pop. It was a great resort for marathon weekend 2017. The transportation was so convenient and we got to watch a bunch of runners complete their half on Saturday morning.

Also: not impressed with the ASICS, but to each their own.

I love that you said that, I'm genuinely replying just to show how different people are, because I do NOT want that to be the shirt design. LOL! It just goes to show that you can't please everybody. I'm really hoping for Classic solid colours.

I'm good with anything.

I use it mostly for bottled water, mimosa makings, Body Armor/chocolate milk (recovery drinks) and then Uncrustables and bagels. I don’t cook there because it’s Disney and I want to eat restaurant foods instead.

I’m honestly not sure what they’re going for there. Those are definitely a “fashion” sneaker rather than a performance model. ASICS does this with type of theming with gel lytes and other of their older models for sneakerheads. I run in ASICS so I wouldn’t mind seeing them work something out with rD, but this appears to be a completely separate endeavor.

POR for me, first time there for marathon weekend. Usually at BC/YC for the crew to cheer me home (and sleep in) but switching it up this year.

I am nowhere near his skills.

they are casual shoes, not running.

the "dwarfs" are pretty much just the colors with Snow White having a bow and the witch a crown to distinguish.

on your comment, yes, they need to have a dopey running shoe. hahaha
