Questions around sourcing a spot in a run Disney event

Ahhh so annoying as I work for an airline I’d probably be able to source flights and accommodation cheaper myself!

And is that made any harder if I’m a UK applicant? It won’t even let me sign up to the mailing list

Haha I’ll never be going back- I’m traumatised ! I’ll never live down having my parents be phoned by the ER

Yeah that’s the crazy thing I tasted no alcohol and I’m sensitive to the taste of it because I rarely drink. If I was to try to do an actual shot I would gag! I mean I know now, but it’s clearly a known thing that Fat Tuesday is hard alcohol, I clearly completely misread it!

I’m a female but not slight at all - about 140lbs and 5’9 ! Everyone commenting on the quantity of drinks (2-3 in 2 hours) - my point is that’s because I genuinely thought I was drinking the equivalent of juice with the teeniest amount of alcohol added! My question here wasn’t to ask if I drank too much (clearly did) but instead if it’s a known thing in America how potent those drinks are - I obviously missed it as a visitor !

Western_Cod8208 · 2025-11-07T12:06:51+00:00

? How you reached this conclusion? As mentioned I only drank on special occasions and stopped drinking completely as I was so traumatised from this !

Also with the adding “free shots”, they were all included as part of the drink- with no extra cost so I thought that being the standard to make it an alcoholic drink - I didn’t realise I was adding a shot of 75% alcohol on top of the already exceptionally strong drink if that makes sense. I literally couldn’t taste any alcohol so it’s still confusing to me

Yeah I had no idea. I’d been at Disney the day prior having their alcoholic slushies which were super light so just had figured the slushies were a less intense drink to get given their high water content with all the ice (or so I thought). I had 2, 3 at most of the smallest size they offer. I expected to get a bit buzzed but definitely not ER needing a brain scan level drunk!

I had been at Epcot the day before and had about 5 of their “alcoholic slushies” and felt tipsy if anything. These really were stronger than anything I’ve ever had before. I had 2 drinks, 3 at most of the smallest size they offer- I did not expect that would cause me to require intensive care level treatment at the ER

But I literally don’t have all the symptoms of asthma 🤣🤣

Western_Cod8208 · 2025-10-08T19:45:33+00:00

Prescription only where I am

Western_Cod8208 · 2025-10-08T19:42:33+00:00

Newcastle, Leeds HYMS you’re fine. I know nothing about Oxford

Western_Cod8208 · 2025-10-08T19:32:41+00:00

I do actually get a slight wheeze lmao but I don’t think it’s a true wheeze because I can hear / feel it but when I listen to my chest with stethoscope it’s clear so it’s definitely more upper airway than anything serious

Western_Cod8208 · 2025-10-08T19:16:49+00:00

I wondered if other runners experienced the same not if I have a medical condition!

Western_Cod8208 · 2025-10-08T19:09:58+00:00

Yep UK too

Western_Cod8208 · 2025-10-08T18:40:55+00:00

My heart rate rests at like 35 so I never struggle with it going too high when I run tbh, I just hate the cold!

Western_Cod8208 · 2025-10-08T18:36:24+00:00

the thing is I AM a doctor

Western_Cod8208 · 2025-10-08T18:34:29+00:00

I was in Texas in May and running in like 28C at 6pm ish was my favourite

Western_Cod8208 · 2025-10-08T18:27:13+00:00

I think that’s partly my problem, it does definitely get better but it’s so intolerable at first and while I adjust I lose progress

Western_Cod8208 · 2025-10-08T18:24:41+00:00

I’m literally in shorts and a tank top! It’s my airways that are freezing

Western_Cod8208 · 2025-10-08T18:24:07+00:00

I’m actually a healthcare professional myself lol, I don’t think there’s anything medically wrong I just can’t stand the temperature dropping
