So weird only doing one day of LLs but they're done and I'm going to get a little more sleep before my day starts.

Well, kids had a different idea and were up earlier than normal. Must have sensed the energy lol

Good afternoon Liner friends. How many of us are racing this weekend? I am doing the half Sunday morning. Praying adrenaline will get me through it. 2 weeks of ice on the ground in (Arkansas of all places), followed by a 10 day trip to Denver to see gran

see grandkids.....my training plan was shot to pieces. Tried running in Denver but just couldn't adjust to altitude. Going on 8 mile run today for my last long run. Praying I get an earlier start corral and not starting in very back just in front of ba...

I'll be thinking of you @h2olly! The atmosphere and comradery will keep you going too. When you get to the corral just move to the very front. The cutoffs can make a big difference in the time too.

4:13pm on 2/23/26 by popupcamper

Thanks popup! Good idea about moving to front. What do you mean by cutoffs?

4:14pm on 2/23/26 by h2olly

You mean like stopping for photos? I don't plan on stopping every single time this race. Don't think I will have the time.

4:15pm on 2/23/26 by h2olly

Did you get your bib number today? I got mine & I'm running the 10k & 1/2. I submitted a 2:14 1/2 POT so I should be in B. Weather doesn't look great for running!

4:33pm on 2/23/26 by Kimluvsdisney

Go well all of you! Hopefully the time at altitude will help you @h2olly even if you cldnt run there.

4:36pm on 2/23/26 by hodg

Go hard and skip photo stops until you get to MK - and then it's The Most Fun Ever! But only for a mile. The halfway point is right as you exit MK, so you should know then how much time you have for photos.

4:47pm on 2/23/26 by Ali Ababwa

Pro tip: you already know the bathroom locations in MK, that's your best place for a pit stop. 100% legal to go in the men's restrooms during the race where there will be no lines. Have fun!!

4:49pm on 2/23/26 by Ali Ababwa

Photos: As you're running through the castle, hang back just a little to allow some space in front of you, because the Best Race Photos Ever are running down the ramps in front of the castle!

5:07pm on 2/23/26 by Ali Ababwa

I agree about skipping photos until MK! I never stop until I get there. By that time the lines are short! I never wait more than a minute :)

5:10pm on 2/23/26 by Kimluvsdisney

The entire corral doesn't start at the same time, they put a rope in between people to break the corral into groups. If you move towards the front you have a bigger buffer on your time than if you end up in the same group as the balloon ladies. There....

5:10pm on 2/23/26 by popupcamper

...will be people at the bathrooms telling you how much time you have before the balloon ladies catch up. My first attempt at a stop I decided I didn't have time, second stop I didn't have a choice. LOL! I don't ever have time for pictures, I just want...

5:11pm on 2/23/26 by popupcamper

....to not get swept. I do stop for selfies at the mile markers though to send to my family back home.

5:12pm on 2/23/26 by popupcamper

Curious if you guys run run or run walk to keep up the pace? Still toying with 10 mile next year but it's a huge leap even if I run walk.. And apparently img I was blocked in U.K. on 9/30- sadly no more access to Mrs magics nails or other photos :-(

6:30pm on 2/23/26 by hodg

Kimluvsdisney, bib number is 15270. I said that my finish time would be 2:30-2:45. Won't finish that fast but wanted a higher starting corral.

7:26pm on 2/23/26 by h2olly

Thanks for all the advice about skipping pics until MK.

7:27pm on 2/23/26 by h2olly

Keep in the back of your mind - Take your time and have fun inside MK! If you're truly tired and up against the cutoffs and late exiting MK, that's a good place to call it a day and hop on the monorail to return to Epcot. No shame in that!

8:46pm on 2/23/26 by Ali Ababwa

Thanks Ali Abawa. HopeI don't have to do that but it's a great option

8:48pm on 2/23/26 by h2olly

I really want that medal though. Ha so will try my best to power through

8:49pm on 2/23/26 by h2olly

@hodg, I jog-walk. I'm currently about a 15 minute mile for a 5 k, was about 15:30 for the 10k, and for the half I was closer to 17.

9:37pm on 2/23/26 by popupcamper

You can do it @h2lly! I just took my medals out of my drawer and hung them up to motivate me for springtime surprise.

9:38pm on 2/23/26 by popupcamper

Great pic @ali! That's an impressive dress to run in.

9:39pm on 2/23/26 by popupcamper

Love the picture @Ali. Thanks @popup. My DDs got me a Disney medal hanger for Christmas. Can't wait to hang this one!

10:54pm on 2/23/26 by h2olly

@Hodg, I jog about 3-4 tenths of a mile then walk about 1/2 to 1/10 of a mile. That way I usually average about 12:30-13 min/mile.

10:55pm on 2/23/26 by h2olly

Sometimes I go up to 3/4 of mile before walking but usually just under 1/2 mile. That's what I did for Springtime Surprise 10 miler last year and I had plenty of time to stop for photos. I was also in very last corral last year. My last bathroom stop I

10:57pm on 2/23/26 by h2olly

I heard the volunteers saying that balloon ladies were 10-15 minutes behind us but this was as I was entering EPCOT for the last mile or so. I had plenty of time.

10:58pm on 2/23/26 by h2olly

Thanks- tho it's too early in the morning for that much maths- I run in km... So confusing having mile markers out on a 5k course.

My first before park opening race. Doing 5K. What time should I be at bus stop?

6:43am by Daisy de la Cruz

About 3 a.m. but others will chime in especially if they are staggering start times.

Hello Liner Pals! My wife and I have 5 all day convention tickets this trip. We plan on going to at least two parks this summer and 2 parks in December. Does 9 parks each (Con tix) mean we both should get the AP non Fla incerdipass at Disney World?

6:43am by IMarriedMyEllie

Should be pretty straightforward math.

Went to geo 82 for fireworks tonight. I know it's expensive but for a special occasion it was fantastic. I will definitely do this again.

10:19pm on 2/23/26 by VikeQueen

That sounds lovely :)

11:27pm on 2/23/26 by KLuck

We went last night... didn't buy the fireworks package but got a table at the window... absolutely loved it avd already booked again for April.

1:32am by molly99

We were there together then! . It was such a lovely surprise. Our service was fantastic. The food was very good. The champagne was unlimited as far as I could tell. We loved everything about it.

6:39am by VikeQueen

Sorry one more UNI ? if I can only go 1 day to EPIC, should I choose Feb. 12,13,14 or 15 and why? I have never been and will not have express pass. Thanks!

until 8am, held again at security until around 8.30am. Through security & entered park, sent left to be held again at end of bridge by Pizza Moon until 9am. Were told MofM wouldn't be running for EE but took our chances and headed there first. It opened

6:07am by Button

at about 9.40am, and we were off by 10am by which time the line was already outside the building. The risk paid off for us because the line quickly reached over 200 mins on Sunday. Loved the theming of the queue but felt the ride wasn't worth that wait

6:12am by Button

The parks have been much busier than we anticipated. Lots of rides going down hasn't helped, but we've managed to get on everything so far at Epic & IOA thanks to early entry. Off to US this morning, then it's over to WDW tomorrow

6:18am by Button

How bad is 4th of July week (looking at July 4-11) crowd wise? CC says not much different than rest of July-CL 5s, but looking for Liner experiences in recent years.

Thanks, @yeti! We've done summer (teacher here) so I hear ya on the heat, but have never been there on the 4th. I think this year it's going to be the best week schedule-wise though.

8:42pm on 2/23/26 by mom24

@mom if it's anything like the last couple years it really is a great time to go. I hope it all works out for you.

9:19pm on 2/23/26 by yetisafari

We went last year and it was fantastic. We had low crowds and got so much done . It rained so we missed some things . I would 100 percent go for the 250 celebration! We did buy multi pass and 'fancy rides' so extra money :)

5:50am by burfe1501

Thinking of buying after 1:00 convention tickets for when grown DDs go with us, but they can't agree on a day. How hard it is to change days with these?

10:52am on 2/22/26 by Beautiesandtheb

If you call the Preferred Ticket Team that specifically handles con tix, they can do it. If the price is higher on new date you'll pay diff, if it is lower you don't get refund. Personally, I'd wait until they lock in, fewer calls equals fewer hassles.

12:09pm on 2/22/26 by JJT (staff)

Last Feb we decided that morning to drive over and do a convention ticket. Not a problem. Bought that morning and attached to MDE in no time.

6:19pm on 2/22/26 by Gusgus5

Thanks!

Space 220 for lunch or lounge. Just me and DD15 who's not the most adventurous eater (doesn't like seafood). Both menus look fine for me. Could she order a dessert at the lounge? Not sure any of those apps would appeal to her.

Yes, you need an ADR for the lounge unless you get there at opening. No virtual line, must wait in person

11:18pm on 2/23/26 by Elaine5715

Husband and I shared the Reuben and each had a cocktail in the lounge. Saved sooo much money! Fun experience!

11:33pm on 2/23/26 by Crazycatlady3

For us, the lounge was the best bet. We enjoyed our appetizers and the experience going up and the views in the lounge were great.

11:38pm on 2/23/26 by matterhorn55

I'm at Pop and put in a connecting room - I feel really silly not knowing this, but how do the connecting doors lock/unlock? I'm assuming there is some security mechanism and they don't just open freely?

11:01pm on 2/23/26 by jwinchenbach

Both sides have their own lock
