I never nap either but after the half and going to the parks for a bit I needed it.What is a nap??
Kidding, but yeah, I don’t nap. Between racing and park time, I’m a little worried about burning the candle at both ends.

I stayed at AKL this year and already have it booked for next year. It’s my home resort so it’s easiest. I love AKL.Anyone stay at AKL for Marathon Weekend?
We own at both BLT and AKV. 2018 was our first Marathon Weekend and our plan was to stay at BLT 1bdr. We went online to book it at the exact 11 month mark only to find it unavailable. Luckily we had enough AKV points to book at AKV. We waitlisted BLT and it never came through. So I am guessing it is a tough resort to get for Marathon Weekend. For 2019 our plan once again is a 1br at BLT but this time we walked our reservation at the 11 month mark to make sure we did not get shut out and that worked. So we will be at BLT 1br for the 2019 race.On hotels...

What about BLT?
We are going to reserve SSR and switch to AKL at 7mo and hope that we have a chance at waitlisting BLT. We're aiming for a 2br with the possibility of a 1br. Just waiting on ILs to give us permission to play with their DVC act...
I was actually thinking of doing all my race outfits based on the Dwarfs and all of my moods during each race.Sleepy is who Dopey's become after the marathon. 4 days in a row wears on you.

As for 2018 at AKV, we had no issues at all for race day. We walked out of the lobby in the wee hours of the morning just as a bus was pulling away. We turned our heads and another was pulling right in. At the end of the race, there was a bus waiting for us to take us back. It was very easy / efficient getting to and from the start/finish. Same exact scenario getting to/from the Expo.
I have napped at Disney....but it's on attractions, like I fell asleep on Universe of Energy (too bad it's gone now), American Adventure, Hall of Presidents to name a few Oops!
My wife and younger daughter have a "game" that they think is funny. My wife takes a picture of me napping in an "unusual" location and sends it to my daughter for both of their amusement. They have multiple pictures of me napping on Disney buses. I don't see the humor. Rest in transit between locations so you're ready to roll when you get there! It just seems to be logical to me.
I actually like SSR. Especially if you are driving your own car...I'm kinda thinking it's going to probably be AKV but I'm on the "Anywhere but SSR" team so as long as we get somewhere other than there I'm happy.
Side note: we used to own SSR and sold it. Had I liked it better we probably wouldn't have sold it.
I fall asleep in Muppets 3D every time. I’ve got no issue with the show, I think the 3D glasses make my eyes work too hard and they just decide they’re done and shut the rest of me down.

I’m currently at AKV for Dark Side. Well organized! We stayed here for a Princess in 2016 and no issues getting to the race. We are in a 1 bedroom in 2019 for the MarathonThis is good to hear. We will be staying at AKV for 2019.
Today is the 20th anniversary to my favorite park, Animal Kingdom. I remember going to this park as a kid and just loving it. This park is only about two weeks older than I am.I've been feeling a bit nostalgic this weekend, so for this edition of Sundays are for Disney, give me some of your best Walt Disney World and runDisney memories. No limit on how many memories or how many times you post, we need something to sustain us for the next six weeks until registration details are announced.
