Aw, thanks! Yeah, so, we were basically in the parks from the time I was done with the race in the morning until they closed, except the night before the half and full — we had an early dinner and then went home to sleep. I definitely booked a sit-down meal for each park, so it was a good 90-minute rest, and then we also made sure to do lots of the shows and various other sitting-down attractions on the days prior to the longer races. And, yes, anytime I had a chance to sit, I made sure to get off my feet! I still don’t know how I did it, but, it all worked out in the end. :)

I am shocked they put Dopey out on the 5K course. There isn’t nearly enough mileage in a 5K to evently distribute the runners to minimize lines. They should just put Dopey out there twice each on the half and full!

Love your Pluto costume – matches that adorable medal perfectly! That is impressive that y’all still went out to the parks that day. Did you stay out there late, or take lots of sitting breaks – maybe extra long meal times? lol

I definitely don’t always feel fresh, LOL…but during these Disney races, I AM always happy and having a great time. :)

I know — she’s very crafty and creative and loves this kind of stuff, so I think it has been sort of a bonding thing for us, which has been really great. :) I know, trust me…I’ve been mentally writing the recap ever since I finished the race! I can’t wait to share all of the finer details with you guys, haha. Sorry to keep you in suspense, it’s coming soon — promise! :-D

Yep, I spent quite some time in the Minnie Mouse line, but like you said, it was nice that they were out at the end of the race. AGREED on how it should have been with Dopey — although I was pleasantly surprised to find him in the last two miles of the marathon with a very short line! :)
