Halloween dump 👻

Help! Hoping for input from other seasoned Disney runners how this new set-up compares.
We’ve been trying for 2 years to get into a RunDisney race (unsuccessfully lol). Today’s 5k W**e & Dine was our first experience with RunDisney. Here are my thoughts as a newbie for anyone that is thinking of running in the future -

1. Expo day/Bib pick up - It was very busy at 10am when I went to get my bib. I queued for roughly an hour. My husband couldn’t take off work so he had to go for his bib around 5:30pm and he said it wasn’t as long of a wait. A real bummer to not get into the virtual queue in the morning to shop the expo for race merch, I got in at 1pm for 3:30pm entry but I saw all of the 5k merch was already sold out.
2. Race Day - We arrived at least an hour before call time to make sure we were there. I don’t think we needed that much time, we live local and close to Epcot. Standing around in the cold for over an hour crammed into a corral wasn’t pleasant. Everything was on time, organized and clean. We were middle of the pack in Group E. We could see the balloon ladies at the end of our group though which was daunting. Our pace was 13/14 minute miles. Character lines were impossible to stop at 30-60+ minute lines. For fear of being swept, we decided to skip all character interactions which was a real let down - since this was a big draw to running this race originally. Overall, we enjoyed it but I do think for the cost it felt very crowded on the course - dodging people was a task.

Torn on if we try again for another race in the future. Will all 5ks moving forward work in this new way? How did previous races work - I don’t understand how anyone could have time to stop for characters.

Come tour the Disney Wish with me ✨🚢

From the dreamy details and incredible dining to the pools, entertainment, kids clubs and a little Disney magic around every corner… this ship is an experience all on its own. 🏰⚓️

And a little travel advisor perk: if a Disney Cruise ship is calling your name, when you book your cruise with me, I’ll add an onboard credit to your reservation to use while you sail. ✨

Now the only question is… who are you bringing with you? 👀

Money comes back but the opportunity to make memories may not. I’m so grateful I was able to have this time with my mom and it’s one thing I’ll never look back on and think, “Man, I wish I wouldn’t have spent that money”.

If you’ve ever thought of taking a special trip with a loved one but you don’t know where to start with the planning, reach out! The only thing I love more than making my own special memories is helping others create memories of their own. ❤️

3rd & 7th ☀️ woke up early to make a special first day of school breakfast, felt like the best mom ever just to be humbled quickly when I realized I couldn’t find my “grade board” that they hold ever year for pictures lol can’t win em all 🤣 Mila is entering into her first official year in the Junior National Honor Society and Harrison is off to make friends, conquer division & play as many sports as possible.
