#runICOT Marathon Wknd2016: Where are you staying?
I thought I'd start the obligatory where are you staying thread?
I have no idea yet. I'm wavering between the Epcot area because it is awesome for 10K cheering and a moderate because it is less expensive and really easy to drive to the 5K start.

Probably Coronado Springs for us. We had a great stay there last summer and my bride has made the request to stay there for marathon weekend.

Depends on what's open at the 7 month mark. Hoping for The Boardwalk. So close for 10K cheering.

Many visits. Live 20 minutes from the parks.
Work at Universal Studios in Diagon Alley. Ollivanders/ wand magic.

Oh well.... The Boardwalk and Beach Club studio villas are all booked. There are 1 bedrooms left at Boardwalk.
Would it be better to get on the monorail line or either AKL or OKW?

Oh, that's a bummer, though I can't say that I'm particularly surprised. I was hoping to change from AKL to one of those resorts at the 7 month window.

Ok, so last year we stayed at Wilderness Lodge DVC, this year I dunno. Any suggestions? I'm in the Dopey so unfortunately,staying close to cheer locations isn't that high on my priority. Seeing them, we'll heck ya.

How was transportation at WL last year? I stayed there the previous year for Princess weekend and the buses were slower than the other resorts.

Wilderness Lodge was great. Bus was only about 15-2 min. We stayed at Caribbean Beach 2 years ago for the 20th anniversary and that was a nightmare bus ride.

Since it's just me next year I'm thinking of POFQ. It's the only moderate I've never stayed at so I figured I would cross it off the list.
We stayed at OKW in a studio last year and the buses were terrible. We would regularly wait 30-45 minutes for buses to the parks! Thank goodness Justin, Dawn, Ian and Gary took pity on us with their rental cars!!!
I hope I have better luck at POFQ this time.

LOL not a problem.
We are going to be silly and try to stay at Poly studios. We don"t own there so gonna have to wait for 7 month window. Since we are both running the 10K, not having a room near Boardwalk won't be an issue.
Does anyone own at poly? was wondering if there is still availability that week.

I'm trying something for a trip on october, we shall see if it works. I have a Poly Studio booked on cash, minimum cash down. Next week I get my points and I'm going to try the swap. Should work.
Just an alternate idea for you to try.

Just checked the resort availability tool and it is showing availability that week at the Poly.

That's why we are gonna try to get Poly! I would think would be much easier to get to MK for 1/2

It is! You don't have to start that day quite as early when you are in the MK area.

I remember walking from Animal Kingdom Lodge while Jon was still asleep to deliver treats to Christine at mile 13. It was strange walking on property with buses passing. I was kicked out of one area and snuck around to another. I figure since I'm doing the whole this year, I would like to be at an EPCOT resort so I can just get back to room quickly to recover. Besides, BOARDWALK cheering for the 10K. Then doing the rush-around to follow my #runICOT friends for the 1/2.
Its going to be a BLAST (again).

Right, we are talking about 1/2 morning. It's so much easier getting to the MK from a MK resort, rather than first having to go to Epcot, catch the monorail over to TTC, then get to MK. Cutting out the Epcot part really does save a lot of time.
But for what you are doing, an Epcot resort makes total sense. I feel comfortable now with the 10K morning and parking at the Boardwalk. It's year 3, and we aren't changing a thing with our itinerary because frankly, it works.
