I have been compiling a list of the dates and places racers will be staying. Let me know when and where you are going to be to add you to the list. I will be posting the updates weekly on this thread.
Also, it has been suggested that we might have a casual early afternoon get together.:grouphug: Firedancer(Frank) and dsnyfan(Tracy) thought of having a meet at AKL lobby area at 4PM on Friday. This way those going to Boma at 5 will not have a problem.

Thinking maybe around 4pm-4:30 pm so people can meet and greet, take photos and then head off for early evening if doing the 5K in the morning or off to eat at another location or back to the parks....

Just a 'note' that the kids races are at 4pm Friday.
Not that this affects the majority of your target audience (I'm assuming), but for that reason, I wouldn't be able to attend a WISH meet up at that time - and it would be my first 'cause I'm new to this WISH thing. :)

The same goes for me. I'll be at the Boma dinner but if the meet up is early enough to make I'd be there.
If you guys want to do a food-court meeting maybe instead of the food court at POR the meet could be at the food court at AKL (Mara). We could get the picture and the people who don't want to do the sit down meal at Boma can grab something to eat and those that do can hang out and then break off at 5 for the meal. Either the lobby or the savanna area behind the lobby would make for a good spot for a WISH photo.
Just a suggestion.

This sounds like a great compromise, and we would have the opportunity for one big family photo! Great idea...I second it, for what it's worth - which may not be much. ;)

Sorry, as the whole WIne and Dine is set up so differently than the other races. The other races had the kids races on Saturday just after the 5K and at the ESPN WWoS complex. I know that there are some doing a BOMA thing later on that evening, the expo is on Friday and then Saturday is the 5K and then later on that same evening is the Half. I think most people are doing a quick weekend so it does make it very tricky to do any sort of a "meet".
I will keep the Friday evening Wisher meet for whomever can come by. I will say 4pm at the AKL - in the lobby area. OK peeps, it is set!!!

Thanks Kathy! Can't wait. It's always strange traveling w/out my boys & DH- this will help! At risk of sounding silly, will folks be wearing name tags? I met up w/ some WISHers before & everyone had one on except me! Lol.
look forward to meeting everyone there!

Shannon - I do not know about name tags but I can check on that. I believe someone said they might have them.
We are having a meet at AKL in the lobby at 4PM.

See you at AKL @ 4, then Boma. Maybe I'll just pocket a "my name is" sticker just in case.
Thanks again Kathy!

Looking forward to meeting up with people.
As for nametags, I usually do them for the huge January Marathon weekend, and that is a very big task, so if someone wants to get the "hello, my name is" tags and bring markers that works, or if people want to make their own, that works also.
See ya's there!!

So I headed over to the local office store today. Holy cow, who knew how many different name tags! Anyway, I immediately grabbed the adhesive ones, then paused. Maybe folks would like to wear them to the race? To other WISH meets, etc? And how many?:confused3
So here's the question: Gramma- how many are we expecting?
Everyone - Do you want the pin -on kind to keep for later, or will the sticker type do?
Fortunately the office store is about 30 seconds from my office.. Lol.
Yep, I know, I probably overthought the whole thing. :idea:

Shanon - We have 62 people reply to where they are staying. Most say they will try to get there. Pins or stick on are just fine. Whatever the majority would like.
momhmmX2 - I will add you to the list and will see you for the 1st leg of the relay. I only walk so I am sure I will be at the back of the pack.

I don't get in until very late Friday so I'll have to wish you all a great time at AKL for the meet.

Kathy,
Mrs. D is bringing Dis tags & she's going to give me the template so I can print some more, so we should have plenty. I was thinking of making a shirt too....

Is this the right place, or should I PM Mrs D so I get a nametag? Thanks!

The nametags I do for the WISH racing team are pin on kind and can be used again more than once. I will be starting those again sometime in October. Not possible for me to constantly be doing lists/printing and buying supplies for all the Disney races and meets, so I just try to get the most done (for WISHers) for the January races.
You are welcome to do just simple stick on name tags which we have used before for other meets or you can make up something else.
Again, I will be doing the nametags for WISHers starting in the middle/end of October sometime.

I imagine we will be there for a while. It is a buffet and a large group so there is a lot of talking mixed in with the eating which slows everyone down.

Just and FYI:
No all the WISHers are staying for the DIS dinner at BOMA. I think that starts at 5 or 5:30, so I am hoping for a photo op sometime around 4:30pm, so those heading out to other parks or resorts for dinner can get to them. However, I am sure most will linger around for a time.
Look for WISHers in the Lobby area of Animal Kingdom Lodge starting at 4pm.
Hoping to see everyone there!!!:cool1:
