Me too! I was super excited to get it and then as I started to read it my excitement dissolved into absolute fear and anxiety. Now I am somewhere in between.

I didnt' get it, but I'm really psyched for this race. Part of it is fear because I'm doing Wine and Food Fest for a whole 11 days before the race! Yikes! I plan to work out, but whether that happens or not remains to be seen. It will definitely be an interesting race after 11 days of Food and Wine, AND a Party for the Senses the night before...

Hi all,
I am registered and got my official instructions the other day and like somebody else said got officially nervous
I have been training, and WILL finish the race, I think its just the official - ness of the instructions that scared me. I am staying at the Beach club and will probably leave my car at the epcot parking lot and bus over with people? I have no idea... It is also my first Disney race and 10K, and I am nervous about accidentally bumping into people
Sorry for rambling....

We will be at Beach Club also! We also plan on parking at Epcot and busing to the start. I've only done one other race (the Minnie 15K this past May in WDW), which has calmed my fears considerably for this race. You will do great, it will be a fun race and I think you will find the support to be fantastic.
You are welcome to ride with us if you would like. We don't plan on leaving BC until around 5:30, so if that works for you just PM me. It's gonna be a great time!

Bit late to join the party, but it's looking official that DW and I will be down there for RFTT for the 3rd year in a row with only me actually running the race. I'll also be doing the Cypress Gardens sprint triathlon on Saturday, so a busy weekend it shall be. We're staying Saturday night at the Coronado Springs, which at this late date and with Shades of Green sold out was the best deal on resort at $123 after taxes for the night. Will likely have DW shuttling me around in the car since we're driving down.

I'll be in the race-ready green as always feel free to yell random stuff at me if you see me! During the race/before/after whenever!

Glad to have you aboard Matt!

Does anyone know if there is a t-shirt for this event? I just realized that when I registered, I don't remember ever being asked my t-shirt size. Anyone know? Not complaining if there is no t-shirt, since there is a lot of free swag anyway (pint glass, food tastings), just wondering.

I read no shirt, the glass is in place of the shirt. I just want the MEDAL at the end!!

Hey WISHers!! It is coming up fast!! Anyone want to share a cab ride to the start or is willing to let me grab a ride with you? I am staying at Boardwalk.

Another diser PM'ed me a while back about sharing a cab. If it was you, please send me another PM.

Hey kids-

Guess who just signed up for the Race for the Taste?! Yep, in yet another stunning example of my lack of good sense, I decided I could stagger along for 6 miles after having a baby 2 weeks ago. If I get swept, so be it!

Becky- I'll be at Fort Wilderness. I'd be happy to give you a ride, but am terriified I'll sleep through the race! And I forbid you from feeling like you have to run or walk with me! I'd be happy for the company, but anticipate being verrryyy slow....

Wow Jen, 2 weeks after having a baby...GOOD FOR YOU!

We're leaving tomorrow, very early for WDW. My plan is to hit the fitness center every other day, so I will at least feel a little ready for the race.
I'll be looking for fellow Wishers while I'm there.

Are we planning on any kind of meet? I never did manage to order a WISH shirt, shame on me, but I will keep an eye out for those of you who are wearing yours.

Which corrals are you all planning on starting in? DH is still kinda post-op-ish (compartment syndrome in both legs), so he'll be with the walkers while I try starting out as a back-of-the-pack runner. I'd love some company from any other solo DISers.
