Hey Howdy Hey!
I am back for another trip report! For those that don't know me I am Ryan, Rumors and News board moderator, DIS contributor and once in a while podcaster, and college student. I have a very busy life but I like it that way. I get bored when I have nothing to do. I come from the Cheese state of Wisconsin so of course Go Pack Go, Go Badgers, Brewers, and Bucks!
Pre-trip report here...
Let's try this again... Dopey 2.0 Updated 12/30
This trip was all about Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. I have done this weekend and corresponding events for 4 years now. In 2015 I started with the 10K as my first ever running event and I was hooked from there on out. In 2016 I ran my first half marathon as well as the WDW 5K. Then last year I ran the Dopey Challenge which is a four day event challenge that includes a 5K, 10K, Half, and Full marathon. Unfortunately the 2017 Half was cancelled due to poor weather. I knew right away I wanted to come bak and run the 2018 Dopey challenge not only to actually run the entire challenge but to run the 5th anniversary of the Dopey Challenge and the 25th anniversary of the Walt Disney World Marathon.
This trip wasn't just me though. I traveled with four friends of mine who also happen to own DVC. We would be staying in Bay Lake Tower at the Contemporary. This would be my first time in the Magic Kingdom resort area so I was extremely excited for that. Only one other person would be running an event. My friend Wendy would be doing the 5K with me.
I also happened to purchase an Annual Pass for the first time which means I will be coming back soon...
I had the pleasure of meeting several Disers this weekend before the races, during the races, and in the parks. I had so much fun this week(end) I didn't really want it to end. We will get into everything that happened though in my trip coming up next!
