Sitting in MCO right now. Hopefully hitting new fantasyland tonight if my parents plane lands in time.

It's open! Standing in it now right after Wishes - btw, great spot to catch wishes is between carousel and new fantasyland.

I'm going to be attempting my first music free race. I think I run faster when I'm not trying to run to a specific beat.

Seeing all the on course entertainment, I actually weaned myself from music/headphones to go music free. Now that I am use to it, I have a hard time running with music.

Aw, I want to be where you are! Driving (well, hubby is)....yawn....Be there tomorrow!

Safe travels and don't worry - its been open the past two evenings we've been here. In the daytime there were some restrictions (pass holders, etc), but evenings have been available to all

We made it to Orlando! Let the awesomeness begin! We are staying at Bonnet Creek Resort. Animal Kingdom in the morning, then the expo, then hitting up the Festival of Masters at Downtown Disney.

I did at least get the passholder discount but 10% compared to 50% off? No brainer

Not trying to rub salt in the wound, but for those on their way in, the DVC discount was stackable on the 50% off, so I assume passholder discounts will be also.

I have the Galloway meet up at 0700, then Cake Boss at 1000, should be a fun morning!

Hi...I just got to the dolphin and realized I forgot my phone charger. Its an iPhone 5 and the desk only has the old version chargers. Does anyone have one I could borrow??

Sitting here in my room desperately wanting to sleep...but still waiting on my luggage. Called luggage assistance about it abd they said it normally takes three hours. Ok that's fine and I know that, except it has been a bit over three hours and I'd really like to sleep. She looks it up and the system shows I only checked in 45 minutes ago. Umm...huh? I told her I've been sitting in my room the last few hours. So now she is supposed to find out if it ever came to the resort. It is making me very glad that I put all my running gear in my carry on.

I feel your pain. Bags are packed and in the car. Just getting ready to head out. Unfortunately, need to make an eight hour pit stop at the office. My employers was not as excited as the rest of us.

Out at 7pm, but will be on property by 9:30pm.

Questions for those that have done packet pickup on Saturday in the past...is there a lot (read: too much) congestion on Saturday morning with those trying to do the Kids Runs and those for packet pickup/expo?

 

[dara00]

Hi Mary! Hope you got your luggage!

 

[Figment1990]

For all this still waiting.... Me too! Ugh. We don't leave til 6:40pm! That's the latest flight I've ever booked to Disney and its crazy waiting around all day!

Should be checking in by 10pm tho. I can't believe it's finally here!

 

[rmgreenesq]

I'm actually working now... well....kinda....sorta. I'm at the airport answering e-mail and such. I'll be on property at 6:00 pm and dining at the Captain's Table at the Yacht Club at 8:00 pm.

My bag finally got to my room at about 3am. I was happy to finally sleep! Off to the expo....

So glad your bag arrived! 1:10 min away! W&D or bust! Going to expo later this afternoon and will listen to Jeff Galloway at 5 and hope to meet him. His 13.1 app helped me tremendously to be able to do this. He's a wonderful
coach. Temp wise. I had to pull over and change into a sleeveless top just across the FL line. (First thing I could get my hands on.)
We were burning up in our long sleeves. Safe travels to others heading out today!

Just got back from the expo...UGH...way too many people for this tired little Disney Dork . But I did see one of you in your bright green WISH tee! Good news too - your passholder discount can be used at the race merchandise booths!

And to those of you I held up at the photo booth again...SORRY!!! Hate when I have camera issues! Finally got it though!!

If anyone is at the Brown Derby tonight around 7pm, be sure to say hi to the short blonde in the orange Miami Hurricanes shirt.

DH has just come down with a cold but is determined to run tomorrow. Wish us luck!!

Til we meet my new friends...

Does anyone know if spectators with Finish Line tickets have to go to the Expo to get their gift cards?

I was not successful in getting a straight answer from folks at the Expo.

We picked up our ticks and gift card at the visitors booth between the expo and where you pick up your bib.
