I did Disney last year. Fun race.
I am not a fan of Galloway's programs. Too much focus on the long run.
There are a lot of good programs out there for beginners that are similar to each other, which aren't as heavily focused on the long run as Galloway. Hal Higdon has a book called "Marathon," which is a great security blanket for first timers. His plans at available for free at www.halhigdon.com.
A similar book is Runner's World Big Book of Marathon Training. They have a solid beginners plan in there that used to be free, but I don't see it on their webpage anymore.
While I don't know Higdon's goal I asked a similar question yesterday and basically got the response that running it at MP is a great tune up to ensure you have proper goals selected. I do believe Higdon actually has a book that goes with his plans... perhaps your library has it?
It depends on your goal. You have plenty of time to train properly for a December Marathon, if you desire the challenge of moving up in distance. On the other hand, some people prefer to work on their speed at shorter races before moving up in distance. That's less common these days, but it's a legitimate strategy.
Higdon, Pfitzinger, and Hanson have good books that offer training plans. You could do well with any of them.
Yes, this one: http://www.amazon.com/Marathon-Ultimate-Training-Programs-Marathons/dp/1609612248/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1376446748&sr=1-1&keywords=marathon+higdon
It's good. I like his style. A BQ would be a lifetime goal for me so I mix that 'technique' type book with inspirational ones since running is mind game for me too.
