Oh and we both are doing the 13k.

[kareneast]

Karen & John (Space Ranger) both doing the 13k staying at Pop for the weekend then switching to SSR

Thanks for starting the list!!!!

[ultramickeymouse]

My DW(Linda) and I are in for the 13K. We are staying at BWV for last 7 nights(10/23-10/30) and SSR for the 1st 4(10/19-10/23 wait listed for BWV)

[skfulkers]

Krista (aladdinsgirl) and I will be there and we're staying at Saratoga Springs. Can't wait to see everyone! :woohoo:

Steve

[Big Vic]

I'll be running the 13K and the DW (Marilyn) will be enjoying the party.

We're staying at POR.

[Goofyin08forErica]

Dave (windwalker) and I will be doing the 13K and staying at the Swan.

This is going to be so much fun!!!!


Erica:)

[disnutt]

I'm going to be there. Planning on staying at Pop.

Kiena

[ultramickeymouse]

For all those staying at POP better check out the link http://www.ababmx.com/index.php?page=disneycup_travel. The BMX National championship is being held at WWS but POP is the host hotel and will have alot of things going on.

[WDWFAN9]

:scared1: :scared1: :scared1: I already have my reservations at POP. Of course I've been there during Pop Warner and didn't have any problems, but an AP rate at CBR sounds good.....just going to have to keep a close watch out!

[disnutt]

I figure I'll be out of the hotel attending all the great October functions so they could have military maneuvers going on at Pop and it won't matter.
:laughing: It's just gonna be a place for all my stuff.

[escape]

I've got everyone to here. :cheer2:

[getnthinr]

I'll (getnthinr) be doing the 13K and staying at All Star Music (ASMu).

Yippee! :yay:

[scuba diver]

DS16 (Scuba Matt) and I will be there. We will be staying at Shades of Green. That is the first weekend of the Disney Golf Classic which is an annual event for us.

ToT on Saturday night, W&F on Sunday....what a great weekend! :cool1:

[Dennyha]

DW and I are going to do the ToT.

As for our lodging, things are up in the air. It's complicated. I made a reservation for Scopa Towers, but I have points in "holding", so when we get within the 60 day window, I'd like to make a reservation for a studio anywhere for the ToT, UNLESS my waitlist for May comes through, in which case I won't have any more "holding" points, so I can call and make a reservation outright for October...I should have stopped with "It's complicated."

[disneybelle]

DD12 (Kayla), DS11 (Joseph) and I are running the 13K and booked at the Swan. Thanks!

[DianeL]

DianeL = 13K
Susan (mousemgr: aka the quiet poster) = 13K
Barb = 6.5K

Staying at OKW.

Denny LOL. Who knew Disney was so complicated! Then there is the meal planning, which needs to be called in soon. But at least the 3 of us sat down and hammered that down into a 1st/2nd/3rd choice per day LOL

Denny! we're in at OKW but we tried to get a Studio elsewhere after booking and I think Susan said she could get us in for Friday/Saturday nights but Thursday was a problem. Not sure how that affects you or maybe there will be cancellations. Either way is there really a bad place to lay your head when your at Disney? LOL

[Kimickey]

Add me to the TOT 13K List :) I'm staying at the Coronado Springs!

[escape]

Got everyone to here. :thumbsup2

[Lexxiefern]

I'll be doing the 13k and am staying at BWV :)


Becky

[TWyn]

My DD14, Jessica, and I will be doing the 13K and staying at POP. Can't wait!

Tammy

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

Leana, and my mom Donna, both doing the 13K. Staying at Coronado Springs for now, unless we get a good AP rate elsewhere down the road.

[Honeibee]

Charlie and I will be doing the 13K. We are staying at POR.

Thanks for doing the list, Susie! :thumbsup2

[escape]

I think I have everyone up to here. This list is getting big. :cool1: :cheer2:

[RedDragon]

Calcio and I will be there--registered for the 13K! Staying at the Swan. :dance3:

My trainer said she's gonna run it too.

Co-worker has registered for the 13K too and her boyfriend is doing the 6.5K.

This is gonna be cool!

[Dennyha]

Either way is there really a bad place to lay your head when your at Disney? LOL

DianeL, I couldn't agree more. There isn't a bad place to stay at DisneyWorld:yay:

[TiggerFreak]

13K, POP Fri & Sat, BCV Sun - Fri

[chimera]

DH (Jeff) and I will be doing the 15K and staying at BWV!

[wfloyd]

Lynnda (crzy4pooh) and I will be there. We aren't going to stay onsite though. :guilty: We will most likely drive over for the race and fun stuff and then leave at the end of the night and go back home.

[nepatsfan73]

I do not know if my wife would let me try this (going to WDW for vacation this summer and I have registered for the 2008 Donald as my first distance event of any kind). I would think there is some kind of time limit (15-16 minutes/mile), but I don't see anything listed on the site. Does anyone what the time limit is? I have seen windwalker referencing that he plans to do a slow pace, but I assume that his slow is quite different than what my slow is/will be. (Given some physical issues I've previously posted, I would have to walk this as I will the Donald.)

Also, if I could swing getting there and my training is progressing, does anyone have an opinion as to whether this might be a good event just to do as a first "race" to get some experience before the 2008 Donald as to how races are organized, run, the feel at the start, how to deal with the "Disney Experience" while participating, etc. I would really love to do this if "life" doesn't get in the way.

I hope this post isn't too off topic to the thread. If so, someone let me know and I will start another thread.

I would venture to guess the time limit would be 15 minutes/mile.

IMO, this would be a good race to get your feet wet. I ran the 1/2 this year, and it was my very first race. I decided to go with the flow, and didn't encounter any problems. You may want to try a couple of local races to see how things are organized and run. The thing that got me at WDW was the number of runners.

Come on, you know you want to do it. :thumbsup2

[nepatsfan73]

I definitely want to do it. But ... I definitely don't want my DW to throw me out of the house or get me reservations for a nice windowless room somewhere with rubber walls (although the medication might be good).

ETA: Do any husbands think I could get away with saying the afternoon of the race that I am going out to get some milk and return home the next morning after catching the early morning direct flight back to CT (hopefully remembering to pick up some milk on the way back from the airport)?

[jeanneg]

I am signed up for the TofT event along with my hubby, John. He can not walk 8 miles at a 15 minute pace, so I hope that info is incorrect. Since there were no minimum times listed, could it be we have virtually the entire 4 hours to finish? (not that he'll need that much time!) it sounds more like a fun event then competitive challenge. We are booked at BWV for Fri and Sunday and waitlisted for Thurs. If it doesn't come through, we may stay at the Swan/Dolphin for one night.

Jeanne

[goofyguy1958]

Susie,

Thank you for putting this list together. Would you please add me to the 13K, :goofy: DW:sulley: (8K), DD pluto: (8K), and DS :stitch2: (8K).

[Duanerice]

I'll be there staying at "Scopa Towers" with the BMXers. This is awesome, the RFTT in early October and the TOT 13K in late October. It makes it so much easier living in Florida.

See you there,
Duane

nepatsfan - I think it's in the WISH runner/walker bylaws that you have to be a little crazy to do what we do. :crazy: :teeth:

Speaking as a wife, I don't think your suggestion of going out for milk will work. Unless, that is, you do this kind of thing a lot. ;)

I think this race will be a lot of fun and a good warm up to the half next year. The half this past January was my first event ever and I wished that I had done some smaller races before. I think you need to go for it! :thumbsup2 There will be a lot of us there to help cheer you on. :cheer2:

[escape]

I think I have everyone listed up to here. If I missed someone, please let me know. :upsidedow

[nepatsfan73]

escape--no, maybe unfortunately, I don't usually disappear for a day. I'll probably have to come up with something better. Maybe I'll have to consider the truth (that works for me sometimes). I am sure if I tell her all my internet friends who I have yet to meet and who consider themselves a bit crazy are going, she would agree its OK. (Or maybe, she, being the grounded one, isn't quite ready to "handle the truth.") Thanks for you encouragement.

[Maherae]

Susie, me, me, ME!!! DH and I are registered and looking at Coronado Springs. :goodvibes Anne

nepatsfan, the truth always works for me but I really sold DW on the Food and WIne festival for her (us;) ) and MNSSHP for DD and DS.

As a side question, does anyone know what happened to the WISH team hat purchase thread - being inept at searching today - because I would really like to represent at this event?

I know Lynne's been very busy. Not sure what the status is.

[DianeL]

Not to take away from Robert's discussion thread, I thought I'd start a WISH Roster thread for the ToT races so we can see who all is participating and where you are staying. I'll think this will be a really fun weekend! Hopefully, we'll see a lot of WISHers at this event. :thumbsup2

[goofyguy1958]

Thanks Vic!

[WDWFAN9]

What about the REALLY important question......what are the medals going to look like????

[TriMom]

TriMom and Nokraden (Mary Kathryn and Rob) both doing the 13K - I'm so excited, I have my SSR ressies (had to borrow the last of 2008's pts :rolleyes1 ) and this will be Nokraden's first race EVER! - Well he might get a few local 5k & 10k in before Oct. But this is his first race registration! We will have an adults only weekend, and I CANT WAIT!

Jeanne

Jeanne there are some awesome training plans for walkers on the walking site. Patty who runs the site is a personal trainer with many many years of experience.

I train like a runner with a long walk that gets longer every other week and lots of hill routes. I started working with Erica, who has bad knees and hips so running was a desaster. She can walk 13 min miles for 20 milers.

There is six months to train so 15 min miles are doable. I can post links to racewalking for you to look at.

We are going to do this together and encourage each other the whole way. No WISH team member is gonna get swept.

Dave:hippie:

[jeanneg]

Thanks, Dave for the encouragement. Hubby does not read these boards but I will have to show him your post. You and I both know that with training, he CAN do it. Unfortunately, there will always be something more important he has to do at any given moment rather than train. Trust me, we've been together 38 years and I know the man. I also know that he will be amazingly proud of himself if he does it. It seems to me, that the jump from a 16 to 15-minute pace is something like a quantum leap for walkers. But as you say, we still have 6 months to prepare. Guess I have a new mission now!

When I turned 50, 5 years ago, I had let my fitness go to pot. I was over 200 lbs, my 38 waist pants were cutting me into and I would get winded cleaning my windshield at the gas station. I changed my attitude and turned it around. I was a smoker also.

I started going to the mall when it opened at 7 am and walked a lap, then 2 then finally up to 4 miles 5 times a week. Then started running till I got hurt, then ran for two years hurt and finally gave up the running and took up racewalking.

You just have to make the decision. Let him know we are here to help in any way we can.

Dave:hippie:

[jeanneg]

Thanks, Dave.......he pretty much fits the description of your former self. I'll let him know that you are doing the Goofy next year, which shows that alot can be accomplished in a short period of time if you set your mind to it.

I do it and encourage Erica to walk also so that we can have a lot of healthy, active years ahead of us.

I think it is so cool that even as a senior I can compete in races and hang out with other adult athletes, which are the most positive people ever. I'm so glad I found WISH because it stands for everything I believe in about athletics.....DLF>DNF>DNS. Yea Baby!!!

Dave:hippie:

[escape]

I've got everyone up to here. :yay:

Jeanne - I started training for the WDW half marathon in Jan., 2007 last October (2006). I started with about a 16.5 min. mile. By the time the half started, I was at about a 14.5 minute mile. I ended up doing the half at slightly less than a 15 minute mile due to the heat.

I really believe John can do this. It will take training, though, and maybe you can wiggle a carrot in front of him to get him started. Give him some incentives. The overall incentive for me was the medal but I had to set short goals. There were times that I wanted to quit. The training was tough. Some of the kind folks on this board kept me going. The medal at the end was sooooooo worth it.

Tell John that we are all rooting for him (and you!) and that we'll see that you both get that medal! :cheer2: :woohoo:

[jeanneg]

Susie: Thanks for the encouragement.....and congrats on your amazing progress. I notice that you have signed up for the Mickey this year. I'm debating which one to go for, but probably need to make up my mind soon. I have my very first event this weekend - a half-marathon in PA - if that goes well, maybe I'll go for the full in January. I'm inspired by your success!

[keenercam]

Hi, Susie! Please add me (Cam) and keenho (Howard) for the 13K. :yay: I talked him into taking a weekend off from grad school to go play with our WISH friends for a weekend!
We are staying at Port Orleans Riverside (someplace totally new for us -- really looking forward to it!)

The boy needs a little break to play amidst all of the tough stuff he has going. We're so glad you convinced him (AND yourself!!) :goodvibes Anne

[karebear1]

Can anyone here tell me if this is a timed race? I didn't see anything on the site about needing to have a 15 minute mile???

TIA!

[cobbler]

I haven't officially signed up yet, I am waiting for the DVC application. I made our hotel reservations though. We will be at ASMo. My son (who will be 11 at race time) and I will be doing the 6.5K.

Needed someplace inexpensive being we will just be getting of the ship from the member cruise :)

[cobbler]

Can anyone here tell me if this is a timed race? I didn't see anything on the site about needing to have a 15 minute mile???

TIA!

Yep it is a 15 minute mile. I have emailed the event director and called. Both races have a 15 minute mile pace. Another poster here also received an email for a 15 minute mile pace.

[keenercam]

Thank you, Dave & Anne! As it gets closer, we'll have to figure out a WISH meet location -- anyone up for a turkey leg at MGM for Saturday lunch? :lmao:
I think I am driving our TA nuts, now, with trying to pack in so many things that weekend. I fear Howard and I will return to town Sunday night completely wiped out. :cloud9:

[Kristi1357]

I will be having cake somewhere on Saturday...the more the merrier!

Cam, yes! We need to all meet up, if possible. :thumbsup2

Anne - I did have to twist Steve's arm. He's not quite the Disney freak that I am. For shame! Actually, I just told him that I'm going and he could come too, if he wanted. ;)

Jeanne - good luck on your half-marathon this weekend. :cheer2: I decided to do the full for the special Mickey medal. It's supposed to be one-of-a-kind so I gotta go for it. Now, I just hope I can. :scared: :crazy: The half, for me at least, was really tough. Whew!

pdrph (Phil and Evelyn) - :welcome: :cheer2:

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

I hit my 180 day window today, so I booked Chef Mickey's on Thursday Oct 25 for 5 pm before MNSSHP that night...

[jeanneg]

Susie: I'm leaning towards doing the Mickey also.....it's comforting to know that there will who others struggling just to finish and we can cheer each other forward.

[escape]

Yes, Jeanne, I will definitely be struggling. :scared: My goal is to finish. :thumbsup2 And, we will definitely cheer each other on!

[ninaeve]

I can't remember at the moment, but I think the race starts at 9pm, right?
We won't have babysitters for this race, so I was thinking of using the inroom service for my 3. I think the resorts kids' clubs close at midnight? What is the time limit for the inroom sitters?

[DianeL]

ninaeve check WWos again I thought it was a 9 pm start but yesterday when I last looked it was saying 9:30 pm weird LOL

It's a twilignt zone theme race sweet lady, we may be wandering the property all evening in the dark with a big hairy beast loose. But fear not if the WISH team stays together some of us should make it back alive.

Dave:hippie:

[DianeL]

:laughing: Dave I really hope I have the chance to cross paths with you and Erica this weekend. Listening to you makes me think of the walks I have with Susan. She gets going and I swear i need a depends half way thru the walk (which by the way she managed to bring me a pair for this past Jan half, there would be a reason I outpace her :rolleyes1 )

We just made our dinner reservations for ToT weekend and Cathy has officially signed up for it. i actually can't wait for NEXT week to get back into the swing of training since I've been out sick this past week and this weekend is the Flying Pig 10K for us. i just want to get back out there and start seeing my training plan in action. Since I've gotten the Garmin (101) i've seen that with a little pushing on my part I'm just barely over the 16 minute pace for some miles and in some cases under 15 minutes. My Half overall pace was either 15:47 or 15:37 with again a couple under 15. So now that I have the Garmin I'm anxious to get back out there and work on getting faster but also more consistent.

Happy training to all and to those racing this weekend all the best and tons of Pixie dust for PRs!!! :cheer2:

Dave I will be wearing a WISH shirt for the 10K and as long as my recovering body doesn't give out for the 5K also this weekend :)

[windwalker]

I'll be wearing a wish shirt for the expo on friday. I think black jeans also depending on the temp outside.

Can't wait to start the weekend, onward and up the freaking mountain that's right in the middle of the half and full.

We will be there a watching DianeL. Might wear a wish shirt to watch also. Again depending on the temp. Cincinnati can be as unpredictable in may as DisneyWorld is in Jan.

Dave:hippie:

[goldcupmom]

Ok, I did it!! I just signed myself (Julie) & DD15 (Rebekah) up for this. Y'all are gonna have to help. I haven't been to Disney in 10 years, and before that it was my Honeymoon 25 years before!

If I don't find good Airfare from NM we still may not come, but I sure want to!!!!

[corinnak]

Well, it isn't set in stone, but I made a reservation this morning at AKV for the weekend of this race. I have some work in front of me if I hope to be able to run the 13K - I am not yet registered for the race, though.

Thanks for making up this roster - it's very cool!

[NYcpa]

Please add NYcpa (Kathy), Xterratri (Lynne) and Stitch_lovr_sith (Erin) to the list. We will be staying at SSR. We were scheduled to be there for vacation before the race was announced.

Thnak you for keeping the list.

[wtpclc]

Think there might be room on your roster ofr this bear of little brain and her dh (Scott)? :woohoo:

ETA: We'll be doing the 13K.

[WDWFAN9]

:banana: Wow! We are going to be an awesome group!! The more creative minds need to be thinking about potential costumes!! We did such a great collaborative job on our WISH shirts I am sure that we can come up with a great way to perhaps incorporate them into a costume, or somehow identify ourselves as WISHers....get thinking everyone.....

164 days from today!

[DianeL]

Wooohooo Carrie & Scott!!!

Pat I've been wondering about what to do too with showing my WISH spirit with a Minnie inspired outfit. :confused: Of course I will be wearing my bracelet however I doubt anyone will see it LOL So I'm open to ideas. We spent a bit of time during our 12 miles this past Saturday discussing possible outfits for Susan and Barb. Cathy is also trying to come up with something but is game to do the race dressed for Halloween.

We booked our air tonight!!! Wooohooo!!!! :cool1: We arrive Thursday so hope to see some WISHers out and about at the parks :)

Happy training!!!

Diane we are wearing WISH shirts and I'm wearing some WISH colored sunglasses I'm having made. WISH hats and probably some of those light sticks to wear as bracelets and or necklace. I'll buy the light sticks here before I leave.

Are we all walking in a big WISH group? We can keep and eye on Honniebee that way so we can keep her out of mischief.

Whee! I'm going to Disney World!

Susie, please include me in your list Lily for 13k and my DH Ted for the 6.5

Working on where we are staying, but we've got flights booked and at a decent price too!

[poppinspal]

I've decided to stop being shy add me(Megan) to the 13k. That is as long as I get good airfare and my cousin doesn't back out. But I"m registered and new to this whole race thing.

[Dennyha]

OK, it was complicated, but everything is clearer now. We used our holding account points this trip, and our waitlist for October came through, so we'll be at Boardwalk Villas for the ToT 13K.

[jeanneg]

Denny,
When did you hear about your waitlist coming through? We're booked at BWV using DVC points for Friday and Saturday night and are waitlisted for Thursday. Got my fingers crossed!

[Dennyha]

We just heard today, but our reservation is for Friday thru Monday.
Good Luck.

[Tiger Lily 03]

We'll be at the Dolphin, I've just reserved and have airfare.

Meghan, Welcome! to the WISH Team. You will so love our group. Be sure to stop by the weekly thread and chat some so we can get to know you as you get to know us. It will be such fun that way!

January race weekend will be difficult for spectators to navigate, but it is such a spectacular time.

Anyone else going down the week before the race?
We tentatively plan to arrive at WDW on the Sunday beforehand.

Robert do you want to do a seperate post for your wonderful idea of a mini golf and lunch WISH gathering the day of the race after we all sleep late from mnsshp.

We are going to buy light sticks here before we go, they are probably higher there. You said bugs were not a problem at DisneyWorld, in the woods at night?

I'm having some WISH color glasses made to wear at the race. Think we need to carry a silver cross? I'll eat garlic at dinner.

Dave:hippie:

[DianeL]

LMBO! Does Erica know about the garlic? She MIGHT have something to say about that :lmao:

Dave needs to come with a warning label. Do not eat or drink anything while reading Dave's posts LOL

Is Disney ready for The Ladies of WISH to party? The poor park may not survive.princess: princess: princess: princess: princess: princess:

They took on the Pig and the director staff is still trying to recover. They are even talking about doing a Pig three way next year. See how shook up they are.:eek:

That poor Boogy will be in therapy the next day.:scared1:

Dave:hippie:

[DianeL]

:rotfl2:

Since you put the Princess smiles up i have to inquire, do we Ladies of the WISH Table really need to worry about the Boogey with all the Knightly men of the WISH group to run him off?

And frankly I always think they hold therapy sessions after we leave Disney. :lmao: We get going after a long day in the parks. Joking and laughing so hard we can barely walk straight. I wouldn't be surprised if people see us and think we are totally wasted and yet we haven't had a drop LOL Heck, that about describes how we finished our 12 miles on this past Saturday. Me leaning up against a tree holding my side yelling at Susan to stop. Cathy wasn't in much better shape. Talk about a runners/walkers high! :lmao:

This very well maybe a one time race. Afterall it's only 8 miles! We don't have to save up and worry about anything! It's going to be a SHORT walk for all of us! LOL

btw, I put the chocolate milk down before I opened the thread this time LOL

[windwalker]

Of course the WISH Warriors will defend our Ladies from the Boogies.

"When there's something strange in the neighbor hood, Who you gonna call".

"Boogie busters", "We ain't afraid of no Boogies".


I have a friend who lives in the Yucon. She was doing a trail race and a bear got after her. I said "wow you must have been scared", she said "No it wasn't the biggest bear I've ever seen and besides as soon as I passed someone else the bear was their problem". She may be coming to the ToT so I'll have to introduce you to Skeena. She is amazing.

Dave, who is slinking off now.:hippie:

[mousemgr2]

umm..Boogey doesn't like Twinkies does he????

[DianeL]

Susan's costume ideas so far are...

editted out just in case Susan was planning on sneaking thru but let's just say she keeps coming back to all things that a runner probably should avoid. personally i'm worried about her safety and all those hungry runners LOL

hey we follow 'the bear is now someone elses problem' theory too!!! :lmao:

Oh and I can just imagine the thoughts the judges will have as crazy ladies are running in brighter than the sun shirts yelling BOOGIE BUSTERS BOOGIE BUSTERS! Where art thou???? LOL

This trip can't get here soon enough!!!!

Not to mention their resident Boogy will be in therapy!

Dave:hippie:

[nucpharm29]

We have ressies over at SSR from Friday oct 26th-Monday Oct 29th. Hoping to see some other WISHers around!

I was able to reg. today and got a lovely surprise that there will be a pin. So please add me to the roster of who will be participating in the ToT 13K.

Have A Magical Day Everyone!!!

Carrie-
Are you going to be running the ToT?? Wow, we might actually get to meet :)

Being that you are so close and all, it takes an event to accomplish this - ha ha

Yay team! I was gone for a few weeks and when I returned I saw the list had grown. :cheer2: :thumbsup2 :banana:

I think I have everyone listed up to here. Although some of you haven't commited yet (well, some of us need to be "committed" but that's a whole 'nother thread!), I went ahead and signed listed you. Maybe that will give you an extra incentive to go! :teeth:

:welcome: Megan and Lan!

[Hockeychic]

Weird question but is anyone going solo???? I really want to go to this but DH doesn't want to go to Disney twice.....uUGGHHH

I was considering going bymyself not not so sure....anyone else going solo??

Kim

[corinnak]

I might be going solo - I have two friends who are both "maybes" which is not the same as having a confirmed travel companion. I guess time will tell, but I decided that if I didn't register myself and get my tickets, no one else was likely to do so either.

OH, I am really registered now and have my plane tickets! :banana:

[TnTsParty]

I am going to try real hard to get back into training so I can do this. I had planned to start walk/running on Sunday but things happened over the weekend that delayed that. I am definately going to make a plan to start this Sunday. I know I can do it once I get out there but its that first day back that I am finding hard to do!! LOL

I am trying to get my sister and her family to join us (especially since I don't know if my DH will be able to hang that late especially for the after race party) Its also my sisters bday (Oct 26) so it would be nice to celebrate it together. So I have not signed up for the race for sure but I am definately planning on it.

[Honeibee]

TnTsParty - I have to ask...How was Kenny??? Cam and I are going to see him in Philly on the 23rd and we are SOOO excited! :yay: We're already getting "Kenny'd up"! :banana:

[Lan]

I forgot to add that I will be at Fort Wilderness

[cobbler]

I am offically in, we are mailing in our applications tomorrow for myself and my older son.

I am pretty excited because this is my first race and a Disney one too.

[SilverE]

Wow! Look at that ToT WISH roster! I am so jealous: I really, really, really, really, really wish I could join you all for the race; but, already traveling to WDW in December with my family and returning in Jan. for Marathon Weekend. I shall enjoy the two weeks in November it will take me to read through all the race reports.

[WDWFAN9]

My local Jewel-Osco has the glow-in-the-dark necklaces on sale $1.00 each. I grabbed a few for ToT and after I got home realized I should have stocked up so I could have a few to share! Has anyone come up with any WISH costume ideas??

[TnTsParty]

TnTsParty - I have to ask...How was Kenny??? Cam and I are going to see him in Philly on the 23rd and we are SOOO excited! :yay: We're already getting "Kenny'd up"! :banana:

Sorry - I just saw your reply to me today. But as usual Kenny was AWESOME :love: - this was my 8th time seeing him and each show just gets better and better!! I am sure you will be on :cloud9: on the 23rd!!

Back on topic - I am getting ready to sign myself up for this race - I think it will be the motivation I need to get back out there training since I still haven't started back training again :scared1: - but if I sign myself up for this race I will commit myself to the training. Ok now I am getting scared since the only race I ever did was a 5k (I didn't do bad though - I think I had a 10.30 min per mile pace and I was a beginner - well after that race I quit training so I guess I am still a beginner!!)

[Kristi1357]

Can someone PLEASE tell me where to find the new ToT clippie?

I want it so bad!!!

Thank you

[goofyinohio]

I just registered today for the 13k. Could you add me to the list? This will be my first race at Disney and I'm really excited. A buddy and I will be staying at POP (Scopa Towers) from the 25th-29th. :cool1:

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

Just wondering if anyone else booked their hotel through group sales to get the special rate....and has gotten a confirmation in the mail? I haven't received anything yet.

I did! I called the first day it was posted here about the group rate, and I received the confirmation last week, maybe even a little before that.

[goofyinohio]

I booked through the group rate as well. It hasn't showed up at home yet, but I just booked it last Friday. I was able to view my reservation on-line. Even though they said I wouldn't be able to. :lmao:

[Hockeychic]

I just booked but I booked the AAA rate which was the same price as the special rate, but I did not want to stay at POP so I took the AAA rate at Music

Does anyone know if we can get into MGM earlier then 9:30???? I was thinking It will probably take me close to the 2 hours to do the run then party is over at 1AM, I was hoping to jump on ToT a half a dozen times before the run....:confused:

Anyone know
Kim

[wtpclc]

Welcome Goofy in OH!!!!!!

[perfectmatch300]

DH (Barry) and I will be doing the 6.5K. We live locally so we probably will be staying at our house.

[Maherae]

Nancy, it will be so good to see you and Barry again!! We've missed you!!

Have ya'll seen the "ad" on the WDW Sports site for ToT? It has racers disappearing in front of the ToT at night..with lightening strikes....cute! I don't go there as frequently as SOME do...but I've been trying to watch for a map of the course.... :goodvibes

[cobbler]

Question for anyone who might know.

This is my first race so I am really unsure how procedure works. I mailed my registration to Disney for the race, wanted the DVC discount. They have cashed my check but is there anywhere I can look to confirm the registration? Is it just wait until you check in, or how does this work?

Thanks
:wave:

[ultramickeymouse]

Cobbler: You can email Steve@emmi.com as he is the registration manager for Disney races.

[nicolita3]

I will be joining! :goodvibes and I got 2 of my friends from school to go along with me :cool1: !

[Hockeychic]

Welcome to all new registrats!!!!!!

We have decided we are not going to wear halloween costumes for MNSSHP. Since we are only going in for a long weekend we hope to get away with just carry ons and can't quite fit in costumes.

However, I noticed that we can pick up our ToT glow in the dark shirts on Friday...times to be announced so we might just wear those.

Wahoo getting so excited.

I'll be going to the MNSSHP Friday night and I was thinking about wearing the ToT glow in the dark as my costume. Very original, I know. :teeth:

I also thought about wearing a WISH shirt. Maybe I could wear the ToT shirt and my WISH hat. Hmmmm. I could go as a runner. Wow, that's a novel idea. I'll bet no one else thought about that. :rotfl2:

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

I don't think I'll be going with a costume either (going Thursday night). I thought I would maybe just try to find a Halloween themed shirt at one of the parks or at Old Navy. But who knows, maybe I'll get inspired closer to the date, but I'm normally terrible at coming up with costume ideas....

Wow great minds think alike don't they:lmao: Last time we went I was Raggedy Ann and DH went as a pirate. IT was alot of fun to dress up.

Leana, I might get creative closer to the date also but as of now no costume, unless I can convince Dh to be peter pan but he isn't going for the tights idea....:lmao: I wanted to go as Tink who is my fav character.

[Kristi1357]

Come on guys! Dressing up is half the fun!

When we went in 2005, I had to beg Chad to dress up with me & Zack. He thought there would only be a handful of adults in costume, he'd feel stupid, etc. Once we got there, he had a blast. He was so happy he dressed up! We got alot of compliments on being a pirate family. I remember even calling Chad's sister while waiting for HalloWishes to start - telling her that this was the most fun we've had at WDW & they had to come with us, in costume, some year.

We even had other guests taking pictures of us that night.
They thought we were cast members!:lmao:

[Hockeychic]

We had a ball in 2005 when we dressed up. We might change our minds, will also depend on if we can get away with carry ons and not have to check luggage and if we can decide on some costumes.

Why is time going so slow!!!!!!

Hey all! I haven't posted in forever, but we are still coming to TOT - YEA!!! Bill (wfloyd) and I need to be updated on the front page. We are now staying at OKW on Friday and Saturday nights. We got a 2 bedroom so we could bring a babysitter for the race. We are also hoping to take Billy to MNSSHP on Friday and let Timmy stay with the sitter. Billy is doing well, but needs a special night just for him. ;) Not sure about costumes, yet - I guess I need to get busy with that. :thumbsup2 Now, all I need to do is train for this race... easier said than done... :rolleyes1

Have a great 4th of July!!! I can't wait to see everyone in just a few months! :goodvibes

--Lynnda

[Maherae]

Yay, Lynnda!!! So glad you are going to participate..costumes and all! What a special time for Billy, you are GREAT parents to think of it!! 2 1/2 hours to finish 8 miles..YOU CAN DO THIS!!

Lynnda - I changed the front page to reflect your accomodations. :thumbsup2

Lily - great pictures. I may just have to dress up now. Hopefully, I can get my friend to dress up as well. I'll have to think about a costume. Hmmm. I'm not very creative.

DH, Steve, backed out of going to the ToT race. He said that going then and in January was a little too much Disney for him. Can you believe that? ;)

[Kristi1357]

Lynnda - I am happy to hear Billy is going to be at MNSSHP on Friday the 26th! Zachary will be excited that there will be another WISH kiddo around.

[kareneast]

Not sure if John & I will dress in costumes either. We usually just wear Halloween shirts. The last time we went we wore Disney Halloween shirts we had gotten from zazzle. Might just wear them again.

[magslite]

It is official, dd16 and I are registered.

We will probably book at Pop, I need to see if I can get a good AAA rate. We have only stayed at Pop, ASMu, and PORFQ. Since it may only be one night, I am not sure it matters. Any thoughts on where it is best to stay? Does it really matter?

Also, will there be transportation to the expo on Sat from all resorts? We don't plan on renting a car.

Getting excited for October!

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

Leana, and my mom Donna, both doing the 13K. Staying at Coronado Springs for now, unless we get a good AP rate elsewhere down the road.

Can you update me whenever you get the chance? My dad Raimo is in for the 13K as well - his first event ever! Not staying at the Coronado anymore. It will either be Caribbean Beach, or another mod if I can get an AP rate elsewhere.

Thanks!

I am officially signed up for the 13k now!! No backing out now. Hopefully staying at the Swan but don't haven't anything booked yet.

[Hockeychic]

Yaaaaa Tricia is coming too!!!!! :banana: :banana: Can't wait to meet you.

Kim

[escape]

Alrighty! I think I have everyone added, updated. :goodvibes

Tricia and Maggie - glad you both can join us. :banana:

[cobbler]

I changed my location for where I am staying. Our first night we will be at ASMo, and our last 2 nights at OKW, I am hoping my waitlist comes through for the first night as I don't really want to move so we will see.

Wish me luck ;)

[perfectmatch300]

I thought I'd already updated here, but apparently I haven't. Unfortunately, DH and I will not be able to do the TOT event this year. We will be going to a family wedding in VA that day. I knew my neice was getting married, but we only recently found out that the date is Oct 27. I am soooo disappointed! There is just no way we can be here in FL and at the wedding on the same day, and we really do not want to miss this wedding.

I'm hoping that maybe we will at least be able to meet up with some of you early arrivals, of those staying the week after the TOT event.

[TnTsParty]

Nancy - sorry you won't be making it to TOT this year. Hopefully they will have one next year and the year after that and.... But I definately understand the wanting to be at your neices wedding - that is the right choice. :thumbsup2

[Hockeychic]

Nancy sorry you can't make the ToT run but there are some of us going to ESPN for dinner on the Thursday before the ToT weekend if you can make it.

Kim

[perfectmatch300]

Nancy sorry you can't make the ToT run but there are some of us going to ESPN for dinner on the Thursday before the ToT weekend if you can make it.

Kim

Thanks, Kim, but I doubt we will still be here then. We will be leaving here either Wed or Thurs at the latest. Possibly even sooner if we decide to book a timeshare week and spend the weekend before the wedding in Busch Gardens, VA. I figure if we are going that far, we might as well have some fun in addition to the wedding.

[disney25]

My Brother (21) and I (25) are runnin the 13k and my mom is walking the 6.5. The rest of the family is just going to attend the party. Does anyone know if there will be a limit to the number of tickets they sell for the party??

[Moonie]

I am doing the 13K! Not staying at a resort, unfortunately (driving into town from home).

[nepatsfan73]

OK. Looks like I am a go (unless life and/or work interrupt). Here is my latest. I am registered for the 6.5K and will be staying at Pop Century (as of now). Because of anticipated and already know activities of the kids, will fly in Saturday landing about 6 (hope no delays and I can get to the start line) and will leave late Monday.

[padisneyfan]

nepatsfan73-- Don't you have to pick the race packet the day before the race? I'm just questioning this as I hate for you to be all prepared to do this and then find out you are unable to race because you don't have the race packet which would have your bib number and chip

Nancy

[HMHunters]

DH, DD and I are all signed up for the 13K. We will be staying at Pop Century -- our first time at a Pop!

:cool1: :cool1:

Nancy,

They have packet pickup on Sat also. No times announced yet.

[nepatsfan73]

Nancy-thanks for the heads-up and thanks Robert. Is it possible to have someone pick-up your packet for you? I don't think the 6.5K is chip timed and Kim (Hockeychic) previously offered to pick-up my packet if necessary. (Although the more she learns about me, the less inclined she might be out of fear of being associated in anyway with me.)

Are you kidding:hug: Can't wait to meet you and I am more then happy to pick up your packet.

Renee, congrats to you and the family for registering. Hummm everyone is staying at POP, maybe I should change my ressies I love POP but I heard there was a large BMX group in and was trying to avoid that.

Can't wait.

Kim

[jeanneg]

Does anyone have any idea when we will get to see the race course?

[Tiger Lily 03]

I just looked at our WISH Team roster for this event! What a team representation we will be having!
:cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

This will be such fun!

[TnTsParty]

I did a quick count and it looks like more than 91 WISHers - that includes the extra people doing the race with the WISH team member. Gonna be exciting!!! :yay: :banana: :cheer2:

[getnthinr]

I compared my AAA rate at All Star Music to the group rate Disney was offering at Pop and it turns out the group rate is a better deal (and I need to save every dime I can! :) )

So, if you get a chance, can you update the main list to show I'm staying with the WISH crowd at Pop rather than ASMu?

Thanks! Sorry to be a bother!

[nepatsfan73]

I am at Pop for now for the same reason. Hoping even cheaper AP codes will come out. If only I had nearly as many DVC points as ultramm.

[escape]

I think I have added/made changes to everyone up to here. Please let me know if I missed anything. :thumbsup2

Nancy, so sorry you won't be able to join us afterall. We know you will be with us in spirit. :goodvibes

[Hockeychic]

Hey there, does anyone know what the code was for the ToT POP package??? I just tried to check my price again and they said there is no special price for ToT and needed a code.

Thanks

Kim

[andromedaslove]

Yes please, if someone could please give me any information regarding a group rate or cheaper rate at POP I would LOVE to do this. DH is adamant he wants to stay off site. I think it would be easier to stay on site, but if I can't find a REALLY good deal it may not happen.

Dana

[nepatsfan73]

Per Robert/ultramm's earlier post on this thread and the ToT 6.5K and 13K website, below are rates and the phone number to call at group sales:

Disney's Boardwalk Resort - $359 a night
Disney's Carribbean Beach Resort - $112 a night
Disney's Pop Century Resort - $79 a night
To reserve a room, please call (407) 938-4868.

When I called, I just told them I was calling about the ToT group rate and reserved at Pop. With tax, I believe it comes out to $88.XX per night. I think people needing park tickets can also obtain them through group sales, but I am not sure of the price or how it compares to other authorized Disney resellers (I don't need the tix as I bought an annual pass for my family vacation as I received a DVC discount, wanted to get the dining experience discount card and figured I'd be back for marathon weekend and hopefully the ToT).

[magslite]

dd16 and I are officially booked at Pop fri-mon. The idea of the BMX group scares me a little. I hope it isn't loud/obnoxious group. However if dd hears they will be staying there, she would be mad if I switched hotels!

Looking forward to october.

I'm hoping the same thing! I've been at Pop twice during Pop Warner and didn't have a problem either time, so I am keeping my fingers crossed!!

[WDWFAN9]

Oh ya - a Pop hint.......I've always faxed in a room request for a lake view and have gotten it every time. I've been in room 3313 twice. Only place I know of in WDW where you can get a water view for the standard price! I will be requesting the same area again for ToT.

[nepatsfan73]

The idea of the BMX group scares me a little.



I don't know for sure, but I think the BMX group should probably be scared of the WISH/YARC glowing green group.

[Hockeychic]

I just called and my AAA rate at Music is the same as the group rate for POP??? Can some confirm what you are paying a night at POP??? I am $95.09per night tax included at Music.

Thanks
Kim

[nepatsfan73]

I am $95.09per night tax included at Music.



As I posted above, I'm at (I think) $88.XX per night at Pop with tax, $79.00 before tax. I obtained that rate by calling the group sales number I re-posted in my PP.

[Kristi1357]

I am going to call this morning & book us at Pop. We are arriving the Monday prior to the race and staying thru the following Monday. There is a really great deal at the Comfort Inn just outside DTD for $39/night. Nothing fancy, but an ok place to stay that's close. But if I stay there, I am going to feel awfully left out of the group with tons of WISHers at Pop!

I am also not sure if you can leave your kiddo(s) at the Disney kids clubs if you are not a WDW resort guest. And we need that to be able to do ToT. Kind of bummin' though since you have to p/u your kid by midnight. I wanted to hang out at MGM until 1am with you guys!

Pat - thanks for the tip about requesting a lake view!

Then once this is settled, I am off to try to find a fridge swap with some availability left that week!
**fingers crossed**

FYI - the group sales phone number does not open until 8:30am.

Update - got my ressie at Pop - $88.88 per night incl. tax. I also have a PM to get in on a fridge swap. Woo Hoo!

[Hockeychic]

It's official I changed to POP as well......I can't not be with all my teamates!!!!

Kim

[andromedaslove]

I am just going to cry!! I want to stay at POP so bad, but I just haven't gotten DH talked into it yet. I'll let you guys know as soon as I figure out where we are staying. Here's hoping AP rates come out soon.

Dana

[WDWFAN9]

It's official I changed to POP as well......I can't not be with all my teamates!!!!

Kim

The more the merrier!! I love POP and I have stayed at most of the deluxes, all of the moderates, and ASMu. It has become my favorite! I really like the lakeview from the 50's building......I'll be faxing in my room request to the room assignor 4 days before my arrival, asking for a room near 3313 (which I have had twice before). It's in the Tramp (as in Lady and the Tramp) building, with a view of the lake. This is going to be so much fun!!

[Kristi1357]

Is anyone else getting to Pop early in the week before ToT?
Just wondering if I'd run into any of my fellow WISHers beforehand.
I am also 99% sure we are going to do MNSSHP on Tuesday night, as well as Friday.

I arrive early Thursday and will be doing MNSSHP on Friday night. I don't go home until the following Thursday. MY XSIL is still unsure if she is going to be able to join me for part of the trip, so I might be solo the entire time. I am so excited about this event!!

[nepatsfan73]

Hey, I have some actual information to pass on. I e-mailed WDW Sports to ask about late packet pick-up on ToT race day or if someone could pick it up for me. I received an e-mail back (rather quickly) informing me that (at least at present) they plan to have packet pick-up at MGM starting at 8:00PM on race day. Thanks to all who offered to pick this up for me, but it looks like my plan may be coming together.

Anyone attending MNSSHP Sunday, October 28th? I plan to and will be solo from Saturday night (airport arrival 6:30PM) to Monday night.

[Hockeychic]

I love POP as well, stayed there once before.

We are arriving early on Thursday morning, having dinner at ESPN Thursday night with Robert and Linda and Dave and Erica....all welcome to join us. MNSSHP Friday and LTT, lunch on Sat, race Sat night and going home around dinner on Sunday...our flight leaves around 7:30PM!!!!!

Kim

[escape]

Is there a thread listing get togethers for the ToT weekend? Or is this it? :teeth:

I know there is a dinner at LTT on Friday. I'm sure it's too late to sign up for that. However, I might can go to some other get-together.

[Hockeychic]

I think Vic got another table so I think there might be room but we will have to wait for VIc to post to know for sure.

Carrie, her DH, my DH, the kidlets, and I are doing the party on Sunday night! It was cheaper than Friday night;) Come join the fun!:dance3:

[padisneyfan]

I was wondering what the other activities were also. We are doing MNSSHP on Thursday night along with Jeanneg, her DH, DS#1, his GF and friends from Canada. Plus going to the Village people concert in Epcot on Friday and eating at Germany. We would have room at our table for others if anyone is interested.

I think I single-handedly closed out the 6.5K race.:rolleyes1

I just registered along with the 3 darling children in my signature. We were on the fence about the kids forever! My DH really thought the youngest would miss us and wanted me to take him along....so I registered the 4 of us! (Myself and the boys) Dh will be with my dad that weekend on a guy's trip.

Am I nuts???!!!

After I registered I returned to the main page and it now states the 6.5K is sold out.:blush: Talk about squeaking in just in time!

I look forward to meeting new folks and seeing friends from the Minnie!:flower3:

The WISH team will be well represented at this event! :woohoo:

I hope your "3 darling children" aren't too fast. I don't want to be overly shown up by a group of WISH-lets. ;) Right now I've got my pace at about 60% of the required time. Need to keep working to improve that and my distance. I also don't want too many 13K walkers beating me. Luckily, even though its my first race, I am doing it for FUN, to be at WDW, to take advantage of an event with a generous time requirement and, most importantly, to meet some WiSHers, who so far are helping me greatly on this experimental journey.

[Steffwalks]

Hi Everyone! :)

I am new to WISH, but this is an exciting place to be!! My best friend and I will be staying at Pop Century from October 25 - 28. We will be doing the 13K and have tickets MNSSHP for Sunday night. I would love to meet others who will be there!

And I have been a Yarc all my life, I just never knew it before! :lmao: Other than that, I am just beside myself about doing this event :cheer2: :cheer2:

Welcome to all the new teamates, you have joinned a awesome and supportive group. Hope you can make all or some of the WISH meets.

How is everyones training coming?

Has everyone got reservations etc done???

Can't wait!!!!!!!

Under 2 months!!!!!!

Kim

[Kristi1357]

Training, umm....

But, my Mom *might* be joining us for ToT weekend and participating as well. She wasn't planning on it, but my Dad might be going to China for work at the end of October. So, if he goes, she goes!

[windwalker]

I don't think anyone is really excited about this. All it will be is the coolest race ever. Night, woods, glow in the dark, special effects, crazy fun people, and it's DISNEYWORLD, so what's to get excited about?:wizard:

MNSSHP
ToT
ESPN....never been there before
LTT....never been there before.

Glow in the dark shirts, medal....even though we don't know where we are running/walking yet:confused3

Robert, are you going to "wear your sunglasses at night":woohoo: :woohoo:

Leanna: Glad you have made your ressies

Kristi: Glad to hear mom might be coming, if I recall correctly she was at the Minnie right???

Kim - yup - Mom was at the Minnie both years with me.

Leana - is Indonesia where your parents live? This new job they are offering my Dad will have him covering Chine & Indonesia. So far, he is not too keen on Indonesia. Not sure why though.

I am really starting to get excited for this, since it doesn't seem so far off anymore. :woohoo: I am definitely wearing my WISH shirt for the race, but still haven't decided whether to try to talk Howard into any kind of costume for MNSSHP on Friday night. Somehow, I just can't imagine him in a costume, though remind me to tell you sometime about our Halloween party where he showed up in an evening gown and pumps! :lmao:

[nucpharm29]

We finally came to a consensus, we'll be staying at SSR.

WooHoo, just added more members to our SSR contingent!:cool1:

I'm getting pretty excited about this race too! It's a surprise trip for the kiddos, so double the fun. AND, besides catching up with my WISH buddies, I found out some other friends will be there that weekend too. :dance3: Once I get past this pesky 26.2 on 9/29 I'll be doing the happy dance!:banana:

Oooh! Welcome! to our new WISH Team members! It will definitely be WISH shirts for me and Ted for the event. Whee! It is coming soon isn't it!

Just wanted to update where I will be staying - for the night of the race we got reservations (finally made them today) at All Star Sports (not my first choice but it will do) and then we will be staying in WDW for another 2 nights and for that we are moving to BCV - I can't wait!! Only 50 more days!!

[katerkat]

How long did it take for people who mailed it to get official registration info? I mailed mine back in August and Disney cashed my check, but I haven't received any emails or paperwork saying I'm official.

[sunshine girl]

Hi everyone! After enjoying the Disney 1/2 marathon in January and the Minnie Marathon in May, I thought I'd round out my Disney running for the year with the Tower of Terror race!!

So - I am now officially signed up for the Tower of Terror 13k and I will be staying at Pop Century. My boyfriend will probably be there too... he would have liked to do the 6.5K but it's all filled up (bummer, wish I would have realized this race would be so popular... I've been so busy with work the past few months that I haven't checked into my Disney websites as much as I usually do).

Hopefully this time I'll see some of you there! Yaaaay,

Laura (sunshine girl)
