Well, since we are all just sitting here doing nothing (besides training, of course ), patiently waiting for the course to come out...i need some advice from the experts!
This is my first half marathon, ever. Please choose which option you would like best for park touring for the weekend...
Option A is what I have right now, but I keep going back and forth.
For a little background, we have been to WDW many times. Not APs or DVC, just average a big trip once every 2-3 years with a few small weekends like this one thrown in every now and then. So we know our way around pretty well (a little too much my husband would say), but have never done a race...so not sure how relaxing I need to take this weekend!
And it's just the two of us, leaving the four littles behind with the grandparents!!
I've got Sunday after the race figured out, just need help (or reassurance I chose wisely) with Friday and Saturday.
So here it is, help me choose!
Option A:
Friday, April 21 - Arriving MCO @ 1:30 p.m.
Tragical (Magical) Express to POFQ, go to room if ready, jump on bus to AK
Arrive AK 4:00-ish
4:45 - 5:45 EE FP+
6:00 p.m. Y&Y
7:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Safari FP+
9:45 ROL FP+
Saturday, April 22 -
Sleep in!!!!
Expo @ 10:00, pick up stuff (don't care about merchandise - if it's there, it's there)
Lunch, Disney Springs
Pool @ POFQ
Dinner @ Flying Fish, 5:05 p.m.
Ice cream, BW
Go to sleep
Sunday, Race Day
OR
Option B:
Friday, April 21 - Arriving MCO @ 1:30 p.m.
Check in POFQ
Go to Expo
Dinner @ Flying Fish, 7:05 p.m.
Ice cream, BW
Saturday, April 22 -
AK, morning EMH 8:00 - 9:00 (So possibly a more crowded day)
Tusker House ROL Dining, 9:15 a.m.
Y&Y lunch 2:00 p.m.
FP+ in here somewhere (this is not option I have right now, so would have to switch them. EE, Safari and Dinosaur probably)
ROL 8:30
Get back to POFQ probably 10:00/10:30??? on night before the half...
Sunday, race day
Am I dumb to even consider getting back at 10:00-ish after a full day at AK, and do a half next day?
Thanks so much!
That was a lot of typing
