[ultramickeymouse]

Since I am getting older, I have a tendency to forget things. On that note, Lets get a roster going for mini golf(Fantasia Course) at 2:00 pm Sat and early dinner at Boardwalk afterwards. Taking votes on where to eat. ESPN seems to be the easiest. Please put real name with user name.

Dave and Erica are bringing a dear friend who posts on the DisneyRunning site with us. BridgeRunner (Donna). She is good with ESPN also since she will not have a park pass because she is driving over from Tampa and doing our mini golf and dinner adventure then the ToT, and driving home the next morning.

She is coming because I told her Big Vic was really Robert Redford and PatsBill was Mel gibson.

Dude, he's dead. You ain't the prettiest fellow on the rock you you don't look that bad.

How's it going Vic? You and your lady coming to the golf party?

hehehe

Don't know yet. I'll have to talk it over with the DW. I'll let you know.

Come on guys, who's coming?

This will be a lot of fun and a perfect way to spend an afternoon staying loose for the evenings activities.

Dave:hippie:

[ultramickeymouse]

I agree with Dave, come on down.......

[nepatsfan73]

Unfortunately, I'm going to miss these events (and LTT & MNSSHP Friday) as I will not be arriving in Orlando until 6:30PM. I figure I'll just wear my running gear on the plane and hopefully have time to check-in at Pop, throw my bag in my room and get over to the Studios to check-in for the event. I plan to do MNSSHP Sunday night and hopefully see some WISHers there as I'll be traveling solo.

This may be better Dave, as the only chance I have of passing for Mel is if it is completely dark or your friend is sight challenged. I do have (dreamy(?)) blue eyes though. I'll also wear a hat so the head glare (which Mel doesn't have) will be reduced. Finally, I'll only agree to be the Mad Max, Martin Riggs and William Wallace (without the mooning) movie persona Mel--not the unable to hold his alcohol, holier-than-thou, racist rant Mel.

[nepatsfan73]

Dude, he's dead.



I guess that would be the ultimate "Great Escape" then.

Actually I love his movies. I think his "We were soldiers" was one of the most realistic Vietnam flicks ever. Except he stole the phrase about his 'boots being the first on the ground in the battle and the last to leave' from the Pathfinder slogan.

Sorry your gonna miss the afternoon stuff but we will catch up with you at the race.

Dave:hippie:

[nucpharm29]

Unfortunately, we're gonna have to pass as well. DSIL is coming over from Ft. Myers to watch the kidlets for us during the race--so we're treating her to F&W during the day on sat. If DH and I spend too much time at the Beers of the World, we might need someone to roll us to the finish!;)

[getnthinr]

I might be able to join you folks for early dinner on Saturday, but I'm not sure. I'm doing LTT and MNSSHP on Friday, then getting up early the next day to do the "Keys to the Kingdom" tour at MK. I've never done a WDW tour before but I really enjoyed the one I took at Disneyland and wanted to try this one. I suspect I'll be beat after that and in need of a long nap, so I wasn't going to commit to any plans except the race. It does sound like great fun, though -- and undisputably wonderful company.

That would be great if you could make dinner with us anyway. We are gonna have so much fun the night before at the MNSSHP. We still haven't decided what to wear yet.

Steffwalks (Connie) and Katwalks (Kathy) will be playing mini golf! See ya there!

Yea!!! More pretty princesses to party with. You guys that can't make it are gonna miss a good time.

Dave:hippie:

[keenercam]

Sorry we'll miss these events. :sad1: Saturday is our only chance to be at MGM and we've never seen the afternoon parade. I am hoping to go over after a nap to see the parade and then we have an ADR for very early dinner at 50s Prime Time Cafe. See you all at the race start!

[Kristi1357]

We won't be able to make it.

Someone's husband should have something up his sleeve that day since it's SOMEONE'S birthday....:rolleyes1

[ultramickeymouse]

There is still plenty of room. There will be some "surprises" for those that attend!

Updated the roster to here!

Wow it is coming up quickly can't wait!!!!!

Kim

[jeanneg]

Count me and John in for both golf and dinner. I'm pretty sure I can get Nancy and Norm to join us. Both the guys love to golf so this should be right up their alley.

[padisneyfan]

We are also good for golf and dinner. I will depend on Jeanne to give me the correct time and place as I tend to get those things mixed up.

Nancy

[ultramickeymouse]

Got everyone to here.

I will have some nice surprises and przes for those attending:thumbsup2

See you in 6 weeks!

[Scott H]

Just waiting to see what my Nephew's schedule is for that day, his band is playing at WDW. Does anyone need a caddy for the golf????, I do a pretty good Bill Murry, "Mr Gofer, it's your friend Mr Squirrel".

[Scott H]

Bump so others can see this post

[ultramickeymouse]

We leave on Thurs so if you want some goodies, better sign up before we leave for WDW. They will make your whole trip worthwhile;)

[princessrunner]

We are planning on attending mini golf and ESPN if DH and DF are done Richard Petty in time. Myself, DH, 2 DFs. Hoping they will all come to golf but I will definitely be there. ESPN is a definite for all of us!!

Can't wait to meet you all! 10 more days, 10 more days!!!!:dance3:

[nepatsfan73]

As I won't get there until around race time (hopefully I'll make the start), I volunteer to be a telephone "life-line" or mobile "shout out." I will probably be sitting around the airport from 2:30PM-ish until the flight leaves around 3:30PM. Anyone who wants to risk having my cell phone number, just PM me.

[Scott H]

Looking forward to this event for sure.

Well kids it has been windy here , Lynn recorded a gust of 60.4 MPH this afternoon.

I was going to get out of work early today but that did not happen. 54 hours in 4 days, I need a vacation, but have to take office cell and be ready for all or two.

We leave Cheyenne tomorrow morn for Denver and then to MCO early Sat morn. YEAH!!!!!!

I want to get in a five mile run tomorrow morn before I get boarding passes on line.

Will hit the Denver Zoo and who knows what else.

Time for last minute packing….

Will have my wireless card to keep in touch, KEWL!!!!!

[ultramickeymouse]

I have my wireless card here in the Atlantis Casino in Reno awaiting our am shuttle to the airport.

Have a safe one to everyone.

Update:

We will be at DIA from 11:00 am-12:15 while waiting for our connecting flight.

Will miss ya by about 22 hours, our flight is at 0745 tomorrow. Waiting for the 24 hour mark to print out boarding passes, I am sure we will get loading zone 4,285... LOL

Very windy (25 mph plus) for the morning run, felt like going up hill in sand.

[ultramickeymouse]

New Details:

Fantasia Mini Golf offers a 50% discount:eek: off the $11.45 for AP holder and 3 guests. If we have at least 5 of us, everyone will get the cheap price. Linda and I are AP'ers, I think there are others out there.

Mini Golf takes about 45 minutes and we can only go in groups of 4 5 minutes apart. I think after the last group starts, we can catch back up with others. They said it may take 15 minutes for first group to start as we wait for tee times. We should all be done by 3:30.

Until later...

[Scott H]

We also have AP's or will activate new ones this morning. Isn't there a DVC discount??? havent checked portable perks yet.

Got my running course kinda figured out

Long day yesterday.

Yeah We Made It, At OKW, long day yesterday, Travel, grocery shopping, then met up with Linda , Kay, Ashley and Karen m and their son Gary.
Grocery shopping is draining, don’t know why but it is. Then we are on the 3ed floor room, so it took a few trips to get all the stuff upstairs.. Good work out for sure

It seem like trips to WDW and DL are becoming family reunions , this is KEWL!!!!

Will activate our AP’s this morning at MK. Going to MK first is a tradition.

[Scott H]

I forgot can I drive the golf cart?????

Shuttle Launch Tuesday KEWL

[jeanneg]

We have AP's, as do Nancy and Norm, so that should be enough to cover everyone that shows up. I believe the DVC discount is only about 20-25%, so if the AP price is half-off, that is definitely the way to go.

Can't wait to meet everyone!

[Scott H]

yep DVC is only 15% just checked portable perks AP fro sure.

[ultramickeymouse]

I have scouted an alternative(discussed with Scott H today while at F&W) that we might do a casual dinner(ie sandwichs and stuff at Y&B). We take them outside and relax. The Club and Brewery might be tough. Is that good for everyone?

[princessrunner]

I got the word last night that mini golf is a no go for us. Since DFs are along, kind of have to go with the group.....:guilty: I did get them all into this. So.....let me know where the final decision is for the dinner (WWDave has my #) so we can meet up with everyone there! :dance3:

[jeanneg]

We'll just go with the flow......whatever you guys decide is fine.

[Scott H]

KEWL, a very easy going group,

man it is goig to be a hot one today, I will be leaking a bunch today, I learned to explain leaking = sweating LOL....

MNSSHP tonight and Studios for the morn, pol afternoon.

[Scott H]

A BIG THANKS to Linda and Robert, It was great,

Sorry we didn't make it over to BW after the race, had to do TOT and we idn't get of MGM till much later than expected.

[padisneyfan]

Thanks so much Linda and Robert for all the wonderful prizes, who would have thought I could win something playing mini golf. I so enjoyed meeting everyone.

Nancy

[Tiger Lily 03]

Sorry I missed the event. Glad that it went on with the slight rain delay.


Thanks for orgainzing it.

[jeanneg]

A great big thank-you to Robert and Linda for organizing the event and for the wonderful goodie bags and prizes!

I must say......after watching Dave play mini golf, I wonder if he legitimately won all those racewalking events or somehow managed to find a shortcut somewhere! :rotfl2:

We had fun (in spite of the downpour) and loved meeting the other WISHers.
Dinner at Pikaboo was also great....lots of choices and great prices.

[ultramickeymouse]

Mini Golf Report:

We met at Fantasia Gardens for a nice little round of 18 holes. Everyone had to get a name tag that Linda helped decorate. Others even decorated them more with other stickers we brought or with their own drawings(Scott H). Once you received your name tag, you got your golf(running) packet of goodies. Lots of useful items for those runners/walkers.

We had a group of 15. We missed Kim and Mike as they had their own adventure. Mark(datramp on my forum), Linda and I were the first group. The next group was Scott H(DW Lynn) and Susie(and DF Cindy). Group 3 was the problem child group only in that Dave was in it. Erica, Connie, and Kathy had their hands full keeping him in line and dry. The last group was Nancy(& DH Norm) & Jeanne( & DH John).

We all started about 5 minutes apart but sneakily moved more into two sets of groups.

Linda was our version of the WDW Prize Patrol. Anyone who made a hole in one was able to draw out of 2 bags of socks. As someone yelled, Linda took off to find them. Mark was wondering if Linda was going to have any energy after the race. It was a fun day. The first 3 groups finished before a brief but heavy downpour delayed the last groups as we hide under cover. They finished up their 2 holes and off we went to dinner at Pikabo. Where else could you have soo much fun for less than $6!!!:eek:

We were joined by Donna(Bridgerunner) and Scott(Scooter from my Forum) at Dinner at Pikabo. This was a great placed Linda and I discovered earlier in the week that could easily handle a big group in one setting and not spread out all over the place. The food is "Cafeteria" style but was really good and reasonably priced.

We mentioned who had the low round of golf but I was not eligible for prizes ;) We than did Disney Trivia for some Fuel Belt Fanny Packs. After this you had to keep your eyes and hands ready for the flying socks from Linda. We had a great time with good friends. This was Priceless.

Here is a link to a few(75) pics I took throughout the FE. http://www.disneyrunning.com/07totminigolfphotorm.html

Until next year.......

[jeanneg]

Great photos, Robert......thanks for posting them!

[Tiger Lily 03]

Looks like the mini golf event was fun.

[padisneyfan]

Robert--- I love the pictures. As long as you are nearby, I won't ever have to take my camera. Thanks again for being the hosts for the Mini Golf and all the wonderful prizes.

Nancy

[ultramickeymouse]

Nancy: I am officially 1/2 English but I think I am 1/2 Asia Tourist(trying to be PC):rolleyes1
