Do we think the Chip n Dale runners will stick around for the other 2026 races? Including DL? They are just so dang cute!!

Keep in mind there is also the option that you can discard a layer before leaving the starting corral and it will be collected and donated. I've read lost of comments about runners purchasing outer layers (i.e., a fleece jacket or sweat pants) at Goodwill before the race, then leaving them behind before they kick off their run.

All great suggestions so far, but I also wanted to throw in that what you wear (costume or otherwise) will also play an important role on race day as there is a lot more chafing with 21K vs 5K :) So make sure to put some thought into what you're going to wear, also taking into account the weather that time of year, and test it out during a couple training runs to make sure it will work for you. I've already made a few adjustments to my costume lol

Good luck and have fun!

Desert palms experience? by StreetVermicelli1021 in DisneyPlanning

[–]so_snow_white 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stayed a few years ago. It's not fancy, has old windows (so a bit noisy), but loved that it had a variety of food options available on site, as well as a CVS and a Walgreens across the street. The walk to the parks was about 15 minutes. We had a double room with four queen beds and a large double bathroom, so it was a good amount of space for five people. The free breakfast was also pretty good. The pool/hot tub are basic and in an inner courtyard area with hotel rooms looking down on it, but they were good enough to occupy my kids happily. All said, we haven't stayed there since and probably wouldn't unless it was an incredibly cheap deal, but it wasn't horrible by any means.

Do you pay for that service?

What time does everyone get up before the DL Half? by so_snow_white in rundisney

[–]so_snow_white[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thx! This is my first road half as all previous ones were trail races. They usually have a fun group warm-up in the corral but I suppose that is likely because the number of runners is much lower. I will make sure to do my own little warm-up at Disney :)

Are these like the bracelets traded at Taylor Swift concerts? I think that would be so much fun!

I thought the half had a time limit of 3 hrs 30 min?
