DisneyLAND bound!!

[TiffJ]

Terri-of course you can come. I think the place we are going it counter service with outside seating so us WISHers can just take over the place I cant wait to see everyone!!!!!

 

[Kristi1357]

We got seating for Fantasmic on the 15th for the 9:00 show. I figure with all the sugar I should be able to be a little faster the next day. At least that is how it works for DS.

Lynnda said that she would eat all my dessert instead but I don't think that will happen.

Chad and I will be there too! Wendy is also going (getnthinr).

This is going to be great! I'm so excited!

I have been informed by Lynnda that I had the date wrong. We will be there on Saturday the 16th at 9:00. Guess I can't type and talk at the same time. Although now I know who beat me to the seatings on the 15...

 

[DianeL]

On the upside for those of us not doing the Fantasmic! Balcony on 9/15 and 9/16 at least we know where others will be and can wave and give a shout of hello For those of you on the Balcony make sure you practice your royal wave

ETA: Terri, a few of us will be at Goofy's Kitchen for separate dinners Sunday night just another place to keep an eye open for your Fellow Wisher

I'll be the redhead in the balcony!

I'll be the redhead in the balcony!

So if we wave and you don't see us we'll be sure to point at you and yell to the balcony crowd... "WE WANT THE REDHEAD WE WANT THE REDHEAD" yeah yeah I know still LOL then we'll wave once we know we have your attention

It will be fitting - the gallery where the desert party is, is right above the Pirates of the Caribbean ride! Every time we ride that, Chad has to chant along with the pirates.

Although I will not be running since we will be in San Diego at race time, DH & I will be looking for any early arrivals. We will be at HoJo and will check in on 9/11 and out on 9/15. Hope to see some of you!

Thanks Diane! I'm catching a red-eye back home on Sunday night, so I'll be leaving the DL area around 6 PM. I do love Goofy's Kitchen, though!

Hey, everyone! You are going to think I am totally insane, but we are doing Fantasmic Balcony 10:30 Saturday night. I am trying to convince myself it is not totally insane. Guess we'll take a nap that afternoon. The earlier show was totally sold out so I had no choice. I am just glad we got them at all.

We are doing Goofy's Friday night, the WISH meet Saturday at 4, Fantasmic that night, and Blue Bayou at 3:00 Sunday. Looking forward to seeing WISHers everywhere we go!

Cam, you can try calling back (daily even) to see if there are any cancellations. I wish you were going to be with us on the balcony Friday night!

I would have done the same as you though. As insane as it is - we are only in Disneyland for a set period of time. You sometimes have to take what you can get!

You guys are going to love the Blue Bayou. We have done Goofy's Kitchen for the breakfast before. I might have to check out their dinner menu...

Hi all - I can't believe I leave Wednesday. Not least because my packet still isn't here. I'm going to have to call tomorrow if it doesn't arrive today and see if they can send me one to the hotel otherwise I won't have my waiver etc when I turn up at the expo. I spose they don't expect people to leave 3 weeks before the race!!!

Nancy: are we still on for lunch on Friday. I've got your cellphone no so I'll give you a call when I arrive Thursday night (about 8pmish) and we can sort a venue. Will see everyone else Saturday - if not before. If anyone wants to PM me their cellphone number I'll be able to pick these up next week some time. See you all soon - oh, and if they still have all the handluggage restrictions in place, just thought I'd warn you. Gel shoe inserts and Gu/other sports gels are on the banned list as well as the obvious stuff, I wouldn't have thought about them at all. Helen

Helen,
If you still have a copy of your email when you registered online, you might want to bring that along as proof. Maybe a copy of your credit card statement that shows the charge amount might help, too. I'd hate for you to come all this way only to find that they won't let you participate because you didn't receive your packet yet...

Does anyone know if those that do the Disney 5Ks get anything in the mail?

Nothing has shown up yet for our two DL 5K ladies and we were wondering if they would get anything or if they just show up at the Expo to check in.

Susan and I both have our race packets for the Half but zippo for the 5Kers to date

TIA!!!!

Two weeks from today DH and I will be heading west for the start of our amazing vacation

I can't believe how quickly it has gotten here, and I still have a lot of organizing to do between now and then. But it is going to be so cool!

Is anybody going to decorate their hotel room window and door?? Every Disney trip we take a photo in front of the Adventureland sign in MK. For our last couple of WDW vacations I've taped the pics to the window of our room. So, our room at the Candy Cane will be really easy to find; just look for a room with a lot of pictures in the window Please stop by and say

Pat -- That is so much fun! We will definitely look for your room. You just reminded me -- I have to dig out our door signs and our lime green mickey head paint chips!

We don't leave until the 15th but my excitement level is starting to rise!

Helen, looking forward to seeing you on Fri. Turns out we might be sticking around later that day than I'd originally planned. Seems like it will be our only chance to see Fantasmic and the fireworks, and I don't want to miss that! Wish I'd planned to arriva a day earlier, but I didn't so now it looks like we will make our drive to San Diego much later on Fri than we'd planned. Hopefully there will be less traffic on our drive by going later. Good luck with getting your packet. Maybe they can send you the info online so you can just print it out. If not, hopefully they will have copies of the waiver at the expo for emergencies like yours.

Lynnda, still hoping to meet up with you, too. We arrive on Mon 9/11 and at this point expect to spend all 4 days in Disney. We were going to spend a day at Knotts, but Ghostrider will be down for rehab so now DH doesn't want to go there. Our schedule is really very flexible, especially now that we will be in Disney for 4 days.

Hi Nancy, that's good - I've Pm'd you my cellphone number. Still no packet, I called them this morning and they've said it's fine so long as I come up on the registration thingy online, which I do, but I do also have my confirmation email. I have mailed them and asked if they can send out a new one to my mum's in the UK, or to the Candy Cane so we shall see. If it turns up here, the worst thing that happens is Tim has to bring it with him and I go the expo Saturday instead of Friday. Anyway, gotta go, leaving for the airport in 40 minutes and not had a shower yet!!!!!! See you all soon.

Hi Helen and Nancy,

DH and I arrive on the night of the 14th. Are you open to extra company on Friday?

Nancy, we have met briefly before......we were at dinner and the huge wish walkers photo at Trails End in Jan 2005! (I think I am actually sitting beside you in the group photo)

Helen, I don't have my race package yet either. They told me it would be fine. But I wanted to get my packet in the mail...part of the anticipation.
