Is it wrong that I voted for Haunted because its a place where I can catch a nap without getting in trouble from DW?!!

All this Dopey/ Goofy talk!! How many more days until I must decide? My husband is doing Dopey again but his running buddy is also doing it so they will stick together since their pace is much faster than mine.

I may need to find a running buddy on here for at least the full, maybe the half also. That might be the only way I commit to Dopey!

As we get closer to the race maybe people can post estimated pace/ interval /race styles/ corrals to see if we can help people find running buddies for particular races.

I did Dopey this year and I'm just not a fan of the 5K. But I do like the extra bling! Guess I will have to decide soon!

You really want to give up 2 awesome medals because you don’t want to do an extra 3 miles?

Once we get closer to the races we should totally try and match people up! I had so much fun running Dopey with @jennamfeo.

@DopeyBadger usually pulls together a massive set of spreadsheets with people's estimated pace, corral, etc., to help with this sort of thing.

Hi everyone! Does the Dopey challenge have a history of selling out?

It does but in 2019 it did not sell out and I don’t anticipate it doing so right away in 2020. If you want to play it safe it’s best to register on the first day.

If you want to save a few bucks, wait until later in the summer when they start offering discounts.

That’s if they offer discounts. Im really interested to see how marathon weekend sells this year with SWGE being in the mix.

Here's what @FFigawi is talking about from 2018.

It’s also the extra time off and additional cost for a hotel. That’s a lot of loonies, you know.
Are you planning to sign up for MW or do I need to start pestering you? Lol

Thanks guys! The first marathon wasn't so boring because I never knew what was next. Last year's would have been boring except I made a friend to stick it out with at around mile 7. If I was just doing Goofy I might be fine running solo, but 4 mornings alone can get OLD.

Good morning runDisney all-stars!

...and then there were two. The Walt Disney World March Madness Tournament has come down to two spooky superstars. Two terrifying titans. Two haunted heavyweights. Simply put, two of the best rides on property - Haunted Mansion and Tower of Terror.

You only have to make one choice this week - is it a tough call or a slam dunk? Who will stand tall as our March Madness champion?

Have a great week, everyone!

You're never really alone out there. With thousands of people on the course, there's always someone to talk to. I've made some of my best friends through chatting up random people while running the full.

 

[CDKG]

Two excellent choices. But, since we are talking about WDW, it’s an easy choice for me. MK does not have Haunted Mansion Holiday (which I LOVE!) and the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror has always been my favorite WDW attraction. So...Tower of Terror for the win!

Loonies. Never not funny.

I think I’m gonna stick with just W&D for a while. [Shhh. Don’t tell anyone, but I think I’m getting a little Disney’d out. ]

I am a solo runner, and am pretty happy that way. In 2018, I did Dopey. Somewhere along the way during the 5k, a random guy started to run with me because he had clocked my easy pace for those first races. He found me in the corral the next few days, and we did the whole 10k together. Don't recall the half. Ran the first mile of the marathon together, but he was injured, so I took off after mile 1. The whole experience was a pleasant change of pace. You will definitely be able to find people to run with, if that's what you would like.

Now those 4 early wake-ups......that's a whole 'nother thing!

Agreed on both counts.

It's all about classic Disney for me. I remember being enthralled with HM in 1978 on my first visit... so HM!

I am my own best company, so I am never lonely. I am great company. Just ask me. I might even answer. Maybe. If I'm not too busy talking to myself.
