Marathon Weekend 2018

[MissLiss279]

Darkwing Duck!! They cut the line during the 2016 10k because of the rain. I want to see him again!!

Sundays are for Disney:

There are a lot of characters I haven't seen that I would like to see on the course at a runDisney race:

-Taffyta, Candlehead, and Rancis from Wreck-It Ralph
-Gadget, Zipper and Monterrey Jack from Rescue Rangers
-Eeyore
-Figment

There are a probably more that I can't think of right now and I don't stop for many characters, so maybe I'm not the best litmus test in this area. I would definitely take time to stop if I saw any from this group out during a race.

The Rescue Rangers would be awesome!

Sundays are for Disney:

This one is SO easy! Carl Fredricksen from Up!!! Every runDisney event, our entire family is searching for Carl. It started at the 2014 Princess Half Marathon when it seemed hilariously funny to think of someone as random and grumpy as Carl at a princess race. And there would be no line for the photo! We have never stopped for characters, but we all agree that we would make an exception for Carl!!

I'm posting this with the caveat that I didn't stop for characters during the marathon and I don't intend to stop for the 2019 marathon. Maybe when I start doing this more for fun and include rides, etc. Since I wear my phone on my arm, getting photos with characters isn't really a viable option.

That said...

#1 Mike Wazowski and Sully
#2 Buzz and Woody
#3 The Incredibles

I'm all about the villains. Saw a race where Hades was out and I'd love to get Maleficent. I know she's been out before on races but I always missed her for other villain trade outs.

I'd like if they'd have Dopey out this year on the actual route instead of pre or post race.

I think Dopey on course would be hard. So many people want that photo with him before and after the race. That said I’d love to see other dwarves on course.

 

[Simba's Girl]

Agree W/Zelly...any villain really. This being my 1st rD race I'm not sure I'd stop for anyone else.

This would also be my exact response!

The first year, and perhaps a couple others, they had Dopey out right outside the entrance into Epcot at the end of the Marathon. It was, IMO, the perfect place for him. The line was very short because lines at the end of the Marathon are always the shortest of the week and it gave all the Dopey runners a chance for a photo at a point where they were virtually assured of achieving their goal.

The Rescue Rangers would be awesome!

I've seen Rescue Ranger Chip and Dale out before, but never the extended group.

You can put him on the course for the half. I get not doing it for the full as it is the final race in the challenge series.

Yep - I was running the Goofy one year but got a picture with Dopey there.

Figment would be one my daughter and I would definitely wait for.

What character would you most like to see at a runDisney race?

I tend not to do photos on course with characters because I find stopping and starting too difficult. I loved seeing Mary Poppins and the penguins.

If Belle is out there in the blue dress with a book, I might have to stop for a picture .

He was out with Dug and Russell during Disneyland Half and it was AMAZING.

What character would you most like to see at a runDisney race?

Speaking of characters being out there, my wife's friend is one of the head costumers for Disney. I will note down some of the requests for very rare characters and see if she can ask her friend to send some of them out this year.

The hyenas

Characters from Hunchback

just saw pics of the Hyenas out at the Disneland Paris Half. Was pretty awesome.
A whole Lion King collection in AK would be AMAZING!

After waking up and eating lunch, and watching a bit of the Eagles game, I think I have a real answer.

I'd love to see a few actors playing their characters on the course Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow, Mark Hammil as Luke Skywalker, Zoe Saldana as Lt Uhura Neytiri.

Then again, if someone realized it's not a Cast Member, but the actual actor, they'd get completely mobbed.
