MNSSHP or W&D Half?

Can you go a little bit earlier in October? You could do ToT 10-miler and MNSSHP on the same weekend? ToT is Oct. 3-4. It's 3 miles short, but I suppose you could tack on the 5K that morning.

I haven't done MNSSHP yet, but it sounds like a great time, so if given the choice, I would go with the week in October, especially if you get your run in later in January and/or February. Good reason to put those DVC points to use!!

We've been to Disney the first weekend of October and another time during the last weekend of October. Both times it was quite warm and humid...really no difference...it can vary from year to year but there is always a chance that even mid-to-late October will be 90 degrees and humid.

I say do both. Last year the last MNSSHP was the week of W&D, so if you went early enough in the week, you could do MNSSHP, then W&D that weekend and then if you're really crazy, MVMCP the following week. It's a hard decision, W&D has thus far been my fave half at Disney. The reviews I'm reading of Princess do not have my hopeful that it will top W&D (and you only run through the MK for less than a mile, and then a mile in Epcot! Unlike W&D where you got a lot of park time!). But you know all that b/c you did it last year!

I posted the dates that registration opens for AP holders for the upcoming races, no matter which one you decide to do, have fun and I'll see you there!!

If it's too hot, it might be a "fast walk" for me!! I liked it because it's a night race and most of the time my training runs are 8pm or later, so I'm already conditioned to run at that time--and hopefully it will be cool-ish at night???

I LOVED MNSSHP so that's my vote! Hallowishes and the Boo to You parade can't be missed! When we were there in Oct 2012 from the 13th-19th, the weather was awesome! It was shorts weather all day long but not unbearably hot, slightly overcast, and only about a 5 min sprinkle of rain on one day our entire trip.

"We run at night too, that's why we liked W&D it's a night race as well. We're thinking about the half in January but it starts at 5:30am."

Well isn't that the middle of the night???

Wait, wait, wait. There's a 5:30 IN THE MORNING, now?! Yikes!

Um. NO. From the girl who ended up in the med tent, not coolish at all. BUT still a fun run, don't let the non-cool, 100% humidity scare you off!!

Med tent and 100% humiditiy?! UNCOOL! I'll box up some of the snow that's still in my yard and save it for the race...
