    Hopefully it's the typical 4:00 p.m. rain cell moving through and will hold off until the half is complete. At least there is no snow in the forecast!

    Totally concur for all the corrals and it works both ways. I've heard many people who go to a back corral to be with friends and then get frustrated when the group moves slower than they would like as well as those who are in the front that shouldn't be. Unless you are a professional who has any chance in the world of winning, it's all about getting everyone getting safely from the start to the finish line.

    Hmm... guess I'll bring my "water resistant" running shoes.

    Has anyone seen if they've released that text notification system for the weekend's events yet?

    PS: Just checked weather.com. Saturday's forecast looks like 10% chance for rain, lows at 54 and highs at 76. If it doesn't rain, maybe it'll stay cloudy and not get too hot. That would be ideal.

    The forecast has shifted since I posted that.

    I have checked for the tracking link the last two days and it's not there. I will keep checking and post it when it's available. It may not be until next week based on recent experience.

    You can add AVP and Mox to the half, and Alex (DH) to the Full.

    I'm betting it will be open on Monday. One week before the event seems to be their norm.

    Being West Coast I learned the hard way not to set up West Coast friends for the text. That 5;30 a.m. EST/ 2:30 a.m. PST start DID NOT go over well...

    Anyone else doing the 5k on Friday as well as the 'big' events? I'm hoping it's a nice warm-up for the marathon.

    Way too early of a start for me. Two crazy early mornings is quite enough.

    The tracking link from last year is still up, but inactive. They may use it again, or a new one.

    I'll be there! I'm really excited about this one.

    Drince - I hadn't posted my change but I'm just running the full and mr. swanie is running the half. I decided not to go Goofy this year so we could divide and conquer with the swanie kidlets.

    It looks like its going to be a warm one. HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE!!!!

    Add me to the list of the Goofy and the 5K. What was I thinking, lol!

    Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

    2013 Marathon Weekend

    Swanie, are any of the younger Swan's doing the half? (I was going to say little Swanies, but I figure Miss T isn't so little AND she's definitely 'Swaned' out!)

    No, Ms. T is actually staying home with the IL's but she'll be running Tink the following weekend. Ms. M and Ms. L are running in their respective kids races though.

    If you're hoping to change corrals, runDisney has added the necessary times to the WDW corral placements. Those times should give you an idea of what time you will need to be assigned to a specific corral.

    Half
    Full
    Goofy

    The runner tracking link is still not available, and the old link has been disabled.

    And just like that, the tracking link is up: http://live.xacte.com/wdw/alerts/

    If you're on twitter, I'll be tweeting my Goofy splits on my MP account. You can follow along @MPStephanie.

    Great article. I'll have to remember to give it a second look when we're at out 180 day mark for our W&D trip.
    Last year we ate at Portobello the night before the race. It was delicious and the service was good. Unfortunately this is where I learned that my engine doesn't run well on pasta. I don't normally eat it at home and I should have known better than to eat it the night before my first half. I ended up with tummy cramps for the last four miles. Live and learn. No pasta for this girl
