A 25 Hour Trip to WDW
Posted: Mar Fri 11, 2016 4:06 pm
When the Star Wars Dark Side Half-Marathon registration re-opened a few weeks ago, I signed up. The only way I'm getting away with going (we're having our second baby next week, exactly a month before the race) is that I'm flying down the 16th, running the morning of the 17th, then flying back that same evening. A work-friend-and-regular-running-pal is coming with me. We're staying at Riverside and DON'T plan to go into a park the night of the 16th. I'm going to post the itinerary I've drawn up in my head below - where am I going wrong? I've never stayed at Port Orleans before - what shouldn't I miss?
1:15pm - flight arrives at MCO. We have 2 hours and 45 to get DME to Riverside and get race transportation to ESPN before the race EXPO closes at 4.
4:30 - after packet pick-up at ESPN, get race transportation to the Boardwalk for Manhattans at Belle Vue.
5:30 - post-Manhattan walk on the path from the Boardwalk to the 'Studios to get the bus back to Riverside.
6:40 - dinner at Boatwright's at Riverside, then hang out at the pool until bed. The race is at 5 friggin' AM.
Post-Race (7-8AM) - race transportation back to Riverside, shower and pack. Maybe get a drink.
9:30AM - get boat transportation down the Sassagoula to Disney Springs for shopping, drinks and lunch at Jock Lindsay's
1:pm - board back to Riverside for DME back to MCO. Drink at airport.
