Ideas for Kathy and Teresa Muddy Buddy Replacement

[newmouse2008]

I think Kathy and Teresa should walk this entire route. The route begins in Epcot, goes through Future World through World Showcase from Mexico to International Gateway out toward Yacht and Beach Club to Swolphin, then to Boardwalk and down the connect way to Hollywood Studios walk through the Studios, then walk all the way back to the International Gateway then back through Epcot to the main entrance where we finish. The picture above shows the route.

interesting.... could we stop and eat along the way? Or would there be a time limit?

I like Matt's idea - but perhaps K&T could swim from East Buena Vista Drive to DHS while Pete stands on shore yelling, "Stay out of the Da*n Lakes."

LOVE the idea Jack, but we don't want Kathy and Teresa to get eaten by a gator. LOL

Teresa of course we could stop for a food break. There might also be time for a stop on an attraction or two.....

What about a marathon on the 29th? By marathon, I mean a very long day where they actually go to all 4 main parks in one day. Since MK will be open 24 hours, this might actually be possible. I suggest they have to do the following in each park (and take WDW transport from park to park):

1. Eat something (meal or snack, doesn't matter).

2. Get a picture with a character (a different one per park would be cool).

3. Ride at least one ride/attraction.

4. Talk to at least one stranger (but do not accept candy, of course).

I guess this is my own personal "want" for that day if I were there. Whenever I visit WDW, I always find a way to ride all types of Disney transport, get pictures with characters, eat my favorite snack(s), and ride my favorite rides. So doing this in one day would be somewhat hard time-wise. So this is a type of marathon which could be somewhat grueling but certainly not like RUNNING a marathon. I suppose this is also like a day-long scavenger hunt.

I'm for keeping the physical aspect in the challenge. Afterall, they have trained and worked hard. What about walking so many laps around World Showcase?

 

[starwood]

You are correct. I don't like roller coasters. When you watch the cars on that section of track when you are up high that does it for me. I also don't like being in places where I can see how high I am.

I am also a roller coaster coward. I will do Big Thunder. I did Everest once and only once. I was nauseous when I got off. The worst part was going backward in the dark through the helix. Never again.

My idea is similar to Stacy's. On Leap Day, hit all 4 parks in 24 hours finishing at 9am at MK.
Followers can donate $ per attraction. So speed will be important.
I will start the donations...$1 per attraction. Let's see if our girls can hit 100 rides/shows!
Heck, I might try this myself.

I'm liking this idea too. I'm thinking you guys should be allowed to stop to eat and have whatever food you want. But for the drink, while in epcot, you are only allowed to hydrate through the use of Beverly

On Feb 29, in the MK...Ride every attraction, see every show, eat in every restaurant-snack bar(drinks don't count), use every rest room. Starting at park open, and go as long as it takes.

How about something on Castaway Cay during Podcast Cruise 3.0?
I think there is a 5K every morning after we dock. Lots of us can participate with them- and walking IS allowed!
That, plus something around riding the AquaDuck, maybe...?

My 11 year old and I are doing this! If I can stagger around for 5 kilometers, so can you!

Have a contest between K & T. They are given a set amount of time (6 hours??) to get a picture with as many different characters and costumed cast members as possible. (Them with the character or CM.) Only 1 picture with each type of character and/or costumed CM is allowed. (Only 1 with Mickey, 1 with a Jungle Cruise CM, etc.) They can go anywhere on WDW property. The one with the most pictures wins.

You can then make a page for each lady with all their pictures for everyone to enjoy.

(My other idea is a kissing booth. )

I was thinking a great replacement for the Muddy Buddy would be the Expedition Everest Challenge. It is also a 5K with a few obstacles along the way and a scavenger hunt at the end. The challenge isn't until May so you still have a few months to get ready for it. DH and I may be doing it and have never run a race before in our entire lives!! What really attracts me to the EE Challenge is that it is only a 5k, not a full or half marathon and that there are three 'obstacles' that you have to face while you do it. I've also heard that if you don't want to do the obstacles there are ways around them that are easier. It's in Animal Kingdom at night after the park closes and there is a special party afterwards with an awards ceremony. I know that in the podcast you said no runDisney events, but I wasn't sure if you were saying that because you don't think you'd have enough time to prepare (like for the Royal Family 5K at the end of this month) or that you really just didn't want to do an event like that. Anyway, I thought it would be a perfect substitution.

Dh and I did this a couple of years ago during a downpour ( I mean deluge) and it was still fun. We are walkers, not runners...it's really fun!

I think Kathy and Teresa should get Boutiqued.

I like it!

Boutiqued, then attend a DISmeet in the park. 2 hour minimum in costume.

 

[jcb]

Why stop at being Boutiqued?

Teresa should do this:

I love the boutique idea! If you want to go simple, you could vow to watch every Disney animated movie.

Love this idea with the characters!

I would really like to encourage Kathy & Theresa to keep the " physical activity" element of this challenge. I too think a runDisney event would be ideal as the required pace allows walkers. The Wine & Dine 5k or Expedition Everest would be ideal. Plus it would give you the opportunity to interact with the others DISers participating and give you a glimpse into the runDisney culture and how Disney organizes these events. All in the name if research!

Selfishly I'd love it if you'd add a Leap Day component as I'd love to join you!!!
