Is this the link to ask about accomodations? Katerina and I will be coming to Disney late Wed. and leaving Monday afternoon (school). The Value Resorts are my choice. All Star Music has family suites available...2 rooms, fridge, micro, sleeps 6, couch, chair, ottoman. The cost is double that of single rooms. The suites are mixed in with single rms.,too.
I realize this is early planning, but I am committed ( and I will have George Bush money in 2 weeks to pay the deposit).
Maybe you can set-up an entry for this.
Great idea mom. I will set up another entry about Disney planning (and I know P is looking into getting us a message board).
Here is a great website about running in the Disney Marathon:

Here are B comments from another post about the marathon weekend:
So far, by my recollection we have the following:
5K (open for registration):
P & Tk
Va & Ka
Vi
Half-Marathon (closed to registration, charitable entries may be available):
A
B & H
Full Marathon (open to registration, 60% full as of 05/08/08):
A
B
Ke
M
P
S. E.
Now, back to the 5k. The 5k race course takes you through Animal Kingdom. The Half Marathon is on much of the Marathon race course, starting and finishing at Epcot and traversing to and through the Magic Kingdom and back. However, the start point of the half is not the same as the full marathon, there for there will not be the loop around like there was this year, where you could stay in one place and see someone start and then see them on mile 4. Does that make sense? I hope so. The marathon course to my knowledge is still the same and will start and end at Epcot, taking you through the Magic Kingdom, through the Animal Kingdom, to the driveway entrance of the Wide World of Sports, through Hollywood Studios and the Disney Boardwalk.
Packet pick-up is located at the Wide World of Sports Complex at the Disney Health & Fitness Expo beginning on Thursday 3p-8p. This is important for the 5k racers, but full and half marathoners may also pick up their packets at this time. Friday’s Expo and packet pick-up hours are 9am-8pm, with Saturday’s hours being 10am-7pm.
Race times are as follows: Circle of Life 5k, Friday, 7am; Half Marathon, Saturday, 6am; Full Marathon, Sunday, 6am.
