Hey everyone!
Figure since we are now only 19 days out from the Minnie might be a good time to start a thread for folks to hook up for shared trans to the races. I know there have been discussions on this in other threads but might be easier to put them in one.
Know some folks are worried about trans so if we can get some of that taken care of, one less thing to think about!
If you have a car and are willing to pick up others, please post that. Or maybe several WISHers staying at the same resort w/o cars can share a cab.
I'm doing both the 5K and 15K, staying at CB and will have a car so can pick up a couple people from CB or PC. Just let me know.
Thanks!

DH and I will either need a ride or will get a cab for the 15K on Sunday. We are at Saratoga Springs. So if anyone will have a car or wants to share a cab... Let us know!

I will have a car and am staying at AKL. I'm doing the 15k and plan to drive to Epcot and park, and take a bus to AK. Would be willing to transport a few people.
Angie I could probably squeeze 3 people in to my compact rental car. And CBR is on the way. Let me know if you want me to swing by.

Hi. I'm staying at OKW, and won't have a car, so would love to share a ride/cab with someone. I'm doing the 15K.
Thanks for getting this rolling!

I will be at All Star Sports. Looking for a ride to EPCOT (or AK?). If anyone can pick me up Sunday for the 15k and you are staying at any of the All Stars, Coronado Springs or AKL. IF CS or AKL, I can be out at the McDonalds or at the lobby checkin area, whatever you choose. I am very dependable and will be on time.
Thanks, Tracy

Maura, Dh and I are also staying at AKL and will have a rental car. Our plan is like yours; drive to Epcot adn park, take bus to AK. We can also take at least 3 other people. Looks like between us we'll have AKL covered. :)

I plan on driving to EPCOT and taking the bus to AK. I am staying at beach club so I could probably take 2 or 3 people who are at BC, YC or BW.

Does anyone have family that will be going to the finish line of the 15K? If so my DH needs a ride and we are staying at POP.

I had planned to rent a car but have decided to take ME. So I will also be at SSR, if folks want to share a cab.
Maybe what we should do is set a "meet time" in the SSR main lobby. Meet and grab cabs?

Hi! I'm doing the 5K and am staying at WL. I can take some people in my car!
Amy,
I'm staying at FW and my DW and I could really use a ride to the 5k. I'm running and she will be screamteaming. We'd be happy to ride our bikes over to WL and meet up in the lobby Saturday morning.
For the 15k, we plan on checking out early and parking the Motorhome at the finish.

OK the all important question. What time should i aim to be at the start for? I'm trying to work out timings for booking cab, getting up etc. Realistically i would like enough time to meet up with my lovely new friends and visit the porta palaces a couple of times.
Thanks so much :goodvibes

How long will it take to get from POFQ to Epcot by cab? :goodvibes Or are most people going directly to the start at AK?

Sounds good! We will be in Bright Green too! I doubt there will be much confusion that early in the morning! :goodvibes
What day do you get in? I expect us to get in around 12n/12:30 on Friday, then we are off to Fulton's Crab House for lunch at 1pm and then off to Packet Pickup. I've never stayed at SSR before so I'm not familiar w/ the layout. It's my sister's DVC Resort.
The Transportation Wizard on ourlaughlingplace.com says it takes about 22 min to get from SSR To AK by Bus. I'm guessing taxi may not take quite as long?
So, I'm thinking we should plan on a taxi around 4:30/4:45. I assume the concierge desk would call for us? We just need to call them that morning or advise them the night before? What do you think? Have the taxi pick us up at the main entrance by check-in (I think).
You can PM with your details if you like. Ohhh, I'm getting so excited! Now to just get through the next two weeks of training!
If anyone else is wondering...

Three of us from OKW will be heading over to the 15K (me, hubby, and Nancy "padisneyfan"). We are planning to take a cab since I doubt anyone with a car can fit in all three of us. If a typical cab holds 4 passengers we would be able to squeeze in one other person.

I'm at OKW as well, heading to both the 5K and 15K. I would be happy to share a ride/cab, if that didn't complicate things too much.
ETA - We might even be able to get a minivan - I don't think those even cost extra, typically, do they?

Maura (jmasgat) or SamSam (Sharon):
I see that both of you are staying over at AK and driving over to EPCOT. I am on the way and was wondering if any of you had room for me?? I am over at ALL-Star Sports which is the first one along that road on the way over to EPCOT. I could be out front near the lobby area or even out near the security gate entrance.
Please let me know.
THANKS

Tracy I hope SamSam can accommodate, because I am already transporting 3 people. If she can't, let me know and we can squeeze in one more (all with seat belts, of course)
