Disney has added the info below on there website about what they now call "Runners Retreat"(formerly VIP Tent). They now charge $10 for the massage that was free last year. IMHO, definitely not worth it to me even more now.

Is anyone signed up for this? I hate to admit that I am considering it. I am pretty sensitive to cold (heat wouldn't bother me but standing around for two hours would...) with the Lupus and Fibromyalgia that I deal with; I am wondering if it is worth it to me just to be out of the elements to conserve my strength??
