The Signia, Waldorf Astoria, and JW Marriott, all at Bonnett Creek have availability (Signia at $250/night). I believe there are busses from BC.
There are race busses from bonnet creek?!?

Here’s what I found on the Hilton website:There are race busses from bonnet creek?!?
I almost always stay offsite and drive in - it's easy! I aim to be arriving at EP within 15-20 minutes of whenever the onsite race buses start running. So say buses start at 3:30am, I leave my hotel with enough time to arrive at EP between 3:30and 3:45ish. I've traveled in from Sherberth Rd down by AKL, and from the opposite direction from Palm Parkway: I've never encountered any traffic either direction. Just drive to EP the way you normally would to go to the park.
I tried the Hilton link above because the listed rates are lower than what I'm paying for Marathon weekend, but then when I try the "book now" link I don't see anything about a special marathon package. What am I missing? Do I need to call and book directly?
Thank you! Sadly, it's still $317/night plus $45 resort charge...Awful, outdated website on Hilton's part. Try this link...

Click the link below the photo that says "Book now: Marathon Weekend Package" then enter your dates. It brought up Marathon Rates. The other link on the page didn't, and there is no discernible promo code that I can find to enter.
Yeah, Hilton Bonnet Creek lost me long ago because the rates + resort fee + parking are insane.Thank you! Sadly, it's still $317/night plus $45 resort charge...
This is where we have stayed the last 5 or 6 trips and the last 3 runDisney events. Marriott has now opened 1 or 2 additional properties there. I noticed the rates have gone up since we booked last spring but we were able to get "pandemic pricing" of just over $100 a night (senior rate as a diamond member). We always rent a car so no worries about uber.I've also heard good things about the hotels at Flamingo Crossings - there are two Marriott properties there: Town Suites and Springhill Suites, I think?
The original statement was that there was nothing left “on property” with transportation. I was only offering some alternatives that people tend to overlook. You also have to contrast those prices with the prices Disney has jacked up the previously “moderate” resorts toThank you! Sadly, it's still $317/night plus $45 resort charge...
Agree completely. I have a room on-property reserved. When I originally booked I wanted to do one of the Hilton marathon packages because I've heard very good things, and it would be awesome to save some money on top of it to extend my trip. The original page with the link that didn't work had rates starting at less than $200/night, I'm just sad that they aren't available anymore. But I can't complain about GDT, I'll just miss the early morning cheerleaders motivating me to get on a very early bus.The original statement was that there was nothing left “on property” with transportation.

I could not find anything stating that there would be/not be pacers at the half. Did previous events have pacer info posted on website before the event guide, or will we only know then?
Probably 2-3 weeks before.We are 6 weeks away from race weekend! Do you think the event guide and course maps will come out soon?
I mean, I'm not going to tell you not to...Is it wrong that I want to sign up for the challenge since it's still open and I am going to be there anyway for the 5k?
I have 7 weeks to train, the half marathon might be hard, but I know I'll be able to finish.
I think you came to the wrong place to be talked out of adding races. I came here 2 months ago with the intention of getting into 5K running and now I’m training for the Princess HalfIs it wrong that I want to sign up for the challenge since it's still open and I am going to be there anyway for the 5k?
