    DH and I are going. I am going to utilize the Jeff Galloway method of walk/run. DH has already done 3 half marathons, so nothing really new for him. Excited and scared to death!

    Well considering I did not get into the NYC marathon lottery drawing today..... this is probably the next best thing. My mother (age 64) wants to do the half. I will probably do the Goofy Challenge - half marathon on day 1 and then the full marathon on day 2.

    I didnt get into NY either. Boo!

    I did the Walt disney world marathon in 2011 and it is awesome!!!!!!! So much fun! Only downside is that it starts at like 5am..

    Oh, I want to do this... but don't think that a trip to the US is going to happen in the near future - it's pretty pricey to travel there from the other side of Australia.
    When we do get there though, my husband is on notice that I want to do one of these races!

    I'm a huge Disney fan. It's my ultimate dream to do a half at Disneyland (World is too far and too expensive, for now - I gave up the Disney World visits over a year ago), but Run Disney hasn't reached Paris yet,

    I ran the Goofy this past January - ridiculous amounts of fun and I'm pretty sure I wore my medal for the next three days, my husband finally had to tell me, it's enough haa

    I'd definitely consider doing this. My dad lives in FL, so I could probably get him to do it with me.
