The Dopey Challenge Trip Report Start Line

It’s official – I’m a two-time Dopey Challenge finisher! And it feels great.

Needless to say I’m going to tell you all about it, and in my traditional style I will be using every word I know. That’s right, kids, it’s trip report time!

I will, however, be eschewing my usual day-by-day trip report format, as I didn’t really do a whole lot outside of running my races. Instead, I’ll hone in on what I did do, including:

Race recaps of all 4 WDW Marathon Weekend races

Restaurant reviews of the establishments where I dined

French 75 at 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian

– Some thoughts and suggestions for the race expo, which I visited 4 times šŸ˜… (once per race I guess?)

– My impressions of Disney’s Old Key West Resort and how it served as a race weekend home base

– A rundown of the cost of my trip, to give those pondering the gauntlet an idea of what kinda money you’ll need to plunk down to be a Dopey Challenger

– Perhaps some final thoughts on the Dopey Challenge as a whole, if I feel like I have enough unaddressed thoughts left

Anyway, that’s the plan! If there’s anything not on this list that you’d like to know more about the Dopey Challenge, WDW Marathon Weekend, or runDisney experience, please hit me up via the communication channel of your choice.

Spoiler alert: while there were definitely elements of the trip that were stressful (sleep deprivation and bib chip snafus, anyone?), I do believe I may well have PR’d in fun. I can’t wait to tell you all about it!
