    Superthread for Disneyland Resort Closure and Reopening, 3/14/20 - 7/17/20: Please Post All Relevant Questions and Information Here!

    Is DTD accessible to just walk through or to take pictures? I'm guessing no but a friend hs taken a picture of their kid there annually so was just wondering. Thanks!

    In case you do forget or you lose it, you can print your waiver at the expo. I don't even bother printing them at home anymore.

    I've done the fourth option and had no issues. Uber to the expo and luggage went via MDE and showed up in my room. Of course the disclaimer is that this could obviously change at any time. I have seen people store stuff such as a stroller under the expo buses so I don't think that part would be...

    Ok character text groups - we've done this for for multiple race weekends now so some of you will be familiar with it. Basically for the half and the full I'll text out where the characters are on the course as I get to them. You can then plan which ones you want to try to stop for. I start out...

    Yeah they look to be on two different sections of the road. The two groups of runners won't be on the same route.

    My thought too on the WWOS character stops. There are usually at least four photo ops in there and they typically include Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy. Joy and Sadness were there last year as well.

    Reducing the field isn't going to make the race finish sooner unless they plan on having like 3 huge corrals. And at that point you might be saving like 20-30 minutes. The slowest person is still going to be the slowest person regardless of the field size.

    Some of us might be available to run interference for you. Or maybe drink all the drinks. Whichever.

    Marine Corps Marathon 2020
