What's the worst that will happen? You get swept and don't get a medal. Disappointing, but not a big deal. 
Well, I really have no advice because Karen is the true master.
So sorry about the power! I hope it gets fixed soon!!!
Terrible about the power loss and state of emergency, but too funny re: your son's idea about where to stay!
Hopefully things are getting back to normal soon! Afterall, you have Cinderella to enjoy - LOL!
There ya go! Sign up and you get to plan another trip!
Somehow winning a medal didn't even figure into my thoughts! I'd just be happy to cross the finish line at all.... I hope I get to watch it with them because I haven't seen it in decades!
My kids watched Cinderella at my MIL's while my DH and I ran home to get more "necessities." My 6 year old said it was too girly but my 4 year old thought it was great. Definitely the expected response!
Now I need to decide if I'm capable of putting in the time for a half-marathon...

My DH started running last year and ran his 1st half last month. He placed 36th out of a couple hundred. I think his time was 1:42. He has no running background and did no special training apart from his regular runs - just showed up for the event. And he never ran outside before until the day of the Half. I thought I wanted to try to take up running so we could do events together but that is what I am up against. So I am still on the couch.If you are anything like me, you will actually like most of these movies better the 2nd time as an adult!
I don't have any advise for you on the Half!
Then the Couch to 5K is perfect for you! And we could run together in January.....
I have already done two 5k's at WDW - the Minnie in 2007 and the EEC in 2008. Next race I am definitely doing the Half...only problem is that I haven't run since the EEC in 2008!I am definitely going to do the Half at WDW...I just don't think I can be ready for this January.
Not for me! 
Luckily I've got time on my side (I'm 24, DH is 25) so we just plan on waiting until both kids are in school and we'll talk about having more then. But for now, you're my hero! Can't wait to read about your trip with all those babies of yours! (You still consider your 6 year old a baby, right? Don't all moms feel that way?) It's a sickness, I swear!Alright, I caught up! I love it so far! How exciting that you have a trip so close! Seems like you have everything ready for that already.
I'm sure you and DH will have a great time! I'm sure you'll love some alone time...3 kids in 4 years?
We definitely are suckers for the "stay on property" Magical Express gimic. They knew what they were doing! Not having to lug carseats? I would PAY for magical express. The fact that it's free just makes it that much better.
I'd love to see Hogwarts, but the rest of Universal doesn't seem that great. Maybe when my kids are big I'll go.
And I'm glad to see you planning so many trips already. Right now I'm planning September 2010, Feb and April 2011, August/September 2011, and Disneyland July 2012!
My MIL just offered to lend me her treadmill so I can prepare for the half-marathon. It's totally crazy but I think I'm going to do it. And I'm stubborn enough to make it happen!
about being stubborn enough, I'm like that too! You ARE the luckiest mom in the world! And still, I stick to my because that many small kids is a lot of work! But I can only imagine them at disney...that's going to be great because ALL of them are such good ages for it! 
That's so cute! Especially since school has been closed all week. If school doesn't open tomorrow, they'll have to add make-up days.
I suspect that it will motivate me to get moving!!!
Go Amanda Go!
