Minnie Marathon - Official Check-in

[chimera]

Anybody ready to start talking Minnie meets? Doesn't have to be anything real formal. Last year was lunch (I think) at Earl of Sandwich on Saturday. Do it again this year or something else? Throw out your suggestions!

What about something after????? I am in for a meet. It was really nice to see some of the people that I spend so much time with...

They have a Wolfgang Puck's express in DTD which has a large outdoor seating area that would be good for a meet... and good as an excuse to stuff ourselves between races on Sat

Mel - We are up for a meet either Saturday or Sunday. I do think a DTD location may work best. It'll be me, DH and the two DD's.

I'd love to plan something for mid to late-Saturday afternoon. I think we may have done 4 pm at some of these events and that worked out well. Or 4:30? I figure everyone has to get something for dinner and DTD might provide enough options.

Also, it would be awesome if we all planned on waiting around for the last WISHer on Saturday to cross the line and then did a picture. Rhonda, Lynne, Erin, Kathy & I got some great ones last year with Minnie and Daisy.

You meant Sunday right??? The race is on Sunday isn't it???

hi, for those of you driving to the race, how early are you planning to be at epcot? will the buses to ak be waiting? i'm doing the race with dd12 for the first time (thanks for welcoming me on the minnie marathon wish thread, kim!) and i'm worried about getting her up on time!

I'm plannning to drive! (Hope that doesn't change! I haven't booked a rental car yet.) With the bus schedule and a 6:15 race start, I'm planning to be at Epcot at 5:00 to catch a bus by 5:15. Do you think that's a good plan? I don't want to be too early at the start, but I don't want to be rushed either. Did anybody do this last year???


For a meet: I'm up for whatever the group decides. Can we make an ADR somewhere based on a rough estimate of who might meet??

Last year I drove to EPCOT and got a bus to Animal Kingdom. We left the hotel at about 4:50am and had plenty of time for the drive on the bus and at the start.

See ya there!!!

How pitiful is this...I climbed the lighthouse in Savannah (actually Tybee) yesterday...178 steps! My legs are in soooooo much pain! I have been walking/jogging for 2 weeks now! I hope that I can walk my route tomorrow! I guess doing steps and jogging use different muscles??!!

Tink...what will your boys be doing while you are running the races? Just curious as to what I should plan for my kids and DH! I am just doing the 5K.

The 15K is on Sunday, the 5K on Saturday. I think Cam meant Sunday.

 

[keenercam]

I did mean Sunday. Sorry, guys!

 

[Hockeychic]

Good morning all.

How is training going? Glad to see more people signing up.

Beth: 178 steps that is awesome....

DD and I are at the parks the entire time we are there so whereever the meet is is fine with us. DD and I did have a ADR for Coral Reef but DD doesn't want to go there so we are looking for something else for that night. (Sunday night I mean) not sure if many of you are staying into Sunday night.

Have a great day all

Cam - I am definitely up for waiting until all of the WISH'ers are finished with the course on Sunday for some photo ops. Sunday late-afternoon sounds great for a meet.

OMG! How did I miss MArtha's post?????

Welcome MArtha!!!!!!!Funny, my dad and dh implied that the persuasion might have been less than gentle. Sorry I did not get to do much more than meet you, but I heard lots of good things from my dad and dh. That the hip heals quickly!!!!

 

[Hockeychic]

Oh ya we will definatley wait till everyone finishes. That group shot will be priceless.

Okay, so let's try to start planning some stuff. What does everyone think of Earl of Sandwich on Saturday around 4:30 and a WISH meet on Sunday after the race?

Wouldn't it be absolutely the coolest to get a group picture with Minnie and Daisy after the race? They were so cute last year.

I did a trip report after Rhonda and I did the Minnie weekend last year (and the report is on disneyrunning.com), but here is the pic from post-race of the two of us:

OMG...y'all are super cute with Daisy and Minnie! You really motivate me!

That is some cross training for sure! Hope you're feeling better and putting in "other steps" now. (horizontal not vertical )

4:30 Saturday DTD and after the event Sunday sound great! to me.

Love the photo.

We will definatley be in for the after the race meet. DTD on the Saturday we will have to play by ear. Since we have park passes we will be all over the place but will definatley try.
