Thank you for this video and awesome finish time! I’m doing the Halloween Half and can’t wait!

I ran this race - my first ever in-person race (so first RunDisney experience too). It’s kind of amusing to see that you finished before I think my wave left the starting gate! Thanks for helping me relive the memories!

Your costumes looked great!! Glad you guys had a fun time.

That was a great game…

That was a cute finish line photo!

He can crow!

Bangarang!!!

A fun ending to a great race season. On to the next adventure!

Newbie here for run Disney, is the race shirt you pick up the same shirt they are selling in the first merch area?

Thank you for sharing! ❤

I’m registered for Dopey next year, I am over 40 and would like to do one marathon before my knees completely eliminate that choice. I hope to follow the Jeff Galloway plan but I think I will probably reduce the longest runs a little as I go to a maximum of 20-22 miles. I’m sure that if I can follow the plan to even 70% I’ll have done enough for my body to complete Dopey comfortably.

Thank you

We have our first cruise planned to Alaska this summer. Leery about planning any excursions due to cost, and being rushed. Did y'all do any NCL excursions? I checked on going on our own and everything is so much cheaper but you have to worry about timing. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Just don't know what to do!

I think Norwegian just funded some of the building of the dock for this port. I don’t think they own any part of Icy Straight Point.

My wife and I are going on the same itinerary on the Bliss. Could you post a link or tell me how to book the excursion to the glaciers and drop off directly to the ship?

Hi!! Love your videos . What category is your room? I like the extended balcony!!! I'm considering bidding for an upgrade.

Thanks for the video see ya next week

Hi!! I'm scheduled for Bliss in June , what's the name of this excursion?

I am in for my first Dopey!! 🎉😅

Really enjoyed this and was looking forward to it. I appreciate all the sincere tips and considerations you offered.

What hat are you wearing?

Love the rundisney videos! I’m running my first rundisney event in April at the 10 mile springtime surprise! I’m a faster runner like yourself and it’s neat seeing how the front of the pack looks. Have you ever had to pick up your bib the morning of?

Ship actually first sailed 2018. I was on the ship May 2018

Last year was first Dopey (to Dumbo!), but 2025 is a Goofy year for me! Just couldn't take that much time off work. Arriving on Thursday from the west coast.

Great video. I did my first marathon at WDW 2023. I plannjng on doing my first Dopey 2025. Soo excited. I do agree... much better to do your first marathon as a stand alone. I did not feel fomo... your first marathon is soo special.

Great video - excited to subscribe. I did my first RD with last year's W&D challenge. I am trying a marathon this fall and considering Dopey 2026!

Thank you for answering my question! I love Kaitie’s advice-- are you looking for a Disney vacation or a run vacation… that’s a great way to look at it! I also appreciate all the training plan talk - it helped so much! Thanks for all you do! I have learned so much from you - and you def talked me into Dopey 2026! 🤪🤪💚💜

Me? Oh, def not. I am not one who can spend a lot of time training, and it is so important to do so. I can pull out a half, though my times stay about 13 when i do intervals the entire way. I don't think I will ever run the entire thing for any of the runs. I don't like running! haha. But here I am doing these runDisney events over and over... crazy!

Hey Lake I agree with you I like the hwy start as well. Been running Disney for 5 years and hope to be running my 4th Disney marathon. Getting little faster with each one so probably not a good idea to try to pr doing dopey so maybe try dopey in couple years. Great video thanks

Lake, what is your current shoe rotation? I too highly recommend anything over a 10k to have 2+ shoes to alternate between for training. And a question for you both - I cannot get to Disney for a race weekend until marathon weekend, do you think a local city race weekend challenge (10k & half marathon) is a good enough simulation before Dopey? I also plan on doing a marathon 3 months prior. Thanks for all your advice!

Great viceo 2x dopey here love the races. This is a great place for a first time marathon. Also one point for dopey not a normal race being that you are not racing these races.

Fantastic video - thank you…wish I had seen it live but I just found your channel. I have already signed up for Dopey 2025 (Charity Runner). It will be my first Dopey, but I have run one full Disney Marathon before (and run several halves)…I will definitely check out the rest of your videos, and thanks again! See you on the course!

Great video and advice!

Which Group were you in? I started in D. My split is 1:00/1:00 until my back starts to ache from the ramps! (the one after mile 9 was the killer one for me) Trying something new for SS. I usually run up and walk down, but I think I will walk up to see if I put less pressure on the right side.

Bejeazus, fast pace!

Great video. I hope Tyler’s knee is doing okay.

Looks like y’all had fun thanks for the video

I don’t know-does Kermit make my butt look big?! 😊

I love how Pocahontas called you chief : > such a fun race! I did this one virtually because of Tangled - the medal was so cute. lol loved the comment for Cinderellas step sisters nice touch. thanks for recording these races

I did the half, and got there Saturday. No M jackets (but I knew already M was done wed morning). So I did buy a Pandora charm! Never got one of those before. I do see them selling the jackets on ebay for more than double... I got the 23 half marathon weekend jacket on ebay for $65 this year, so there is always the hope to wait it out! (Cuz I WANT that one!) The weather was fantastic Sunday. Glad for everyone that posts these YT videos and podcasts etc, it is keeping the vibe alive. I miss it already. Here's to Ohana Challenge and SS!

Thanks!

Saratoga is walking distance? would love more info on that - thought you couldn't walk to the start

I noticed a charity site that has Halloween at disneyland bibs - do you know what that is like beyond just raising the money?

Thanks for slowing down enough for me to get to run with y’all little bit 😂 see ya in the spring

Congrats on a new PR Kaitie! It was so fun to see you there! Look forward to the next weekend! Arrrgh, me hearties!

While slogging through a treadmill easy run this morning I thought "wait... I should run with MouseGen", popped this up, and had a blast reliving the run (I felt the need to bump it to 7:24/mi at the end to keep up with y'all). Thank you for both the videos and being energetic, welcoming, and fun runners in person! -Butch

Love this, Thanks and congrats!

The one trail that you were walking on, isn't that under the path of the Green Transporter? I read that they are building trails on top of the hill that you use the Red Transporter to get up.

I'll be on the Bliss, mid June, 2024, for the same short 7 day that you had. Was your cruise also in June? First time on NCL. I'm also booked on a long cruise on the NCL Encore, Mid October. I wanted to fly in a day before the cruise and wanted to book the Hotel with NCL, but they would only book the Westin at $465, for one night. I thought that was insane, so I booked a much cheaper hotel that had its own shuttle that would pick me up at the airport. I'll just take an Uber to Pier 66, in the morning.

i will be on the bliss idec 2025 how far was your hotel from the port and would you remmonend it??
