Plenty of Porta potties as you go down the service road. Right after a bunch of people give up and use the side of the road.
Denny should be able to see you at the start, get on the monorail to the TTC, make it in to MK and see you run in and then through the castle and then back to EPCOT for you to cross the finish line. Of course that depends on how fast you run.
That must have been exhausting and too much living out of a suitcase is just not good. Nice to look through all your pictures again and see the trip in FF.
Looking forward to the Feb. Trip
Gotta love long trips. 
Nice wrap up..........I'm exhausted!
At least I was when I finished that update. Phew! I saw some cool memories! Some of them seem so long ago, I forgot they were on this particular trip...........
Well you're right - it HAS! That was fantastic Mary Ellen, thank you for taking the time to put that together! Loved seeing all your pictures again
Thank you for the recap, Mary Ellen!
I really love to read your final thoughts and how you sum up all the firsts.
THope there will be another one soon (and it should include a Disney vessel
I can't wait!
That is the beauty for those who visit WDW relatively often. There are always "firsts" still to be done. It's makes me laugh when people arrive back after their first trip and declare they "did it all... no need to go back".
Obviously I particularly enjoyed your DISmeet recaps.
DISmeets! They are the best! 
Isn't that the truth. I'm usually ready to go back about 2 weeks after getting home. I always think I'll be good for awhile, but I never am. I go right back to Disney withdrawal. But don't we all? Can't wait to read more
As always your wrap ups are awesome! This was a long trip!
Great report and amazing wrap-up!
Can't wait for the next report (when you are ready)
Loved the recap and pictures! Thank you so much for writing this report...it was fun to follow-along.
I'm sure he will beat me in both directions. I just can't imagine running through the castle. I hope I don't get bummed out after that for the long trip back.
I remember you writing about the trip. Didn't you stay up all night to catch your flight?
and staying up to catch the 3 am ME for a 6am flight.
They were great pictures though. Thanks for sharing.
It was your trip with Cynthia for the F&W in 2012 that made me want to go see what F&W was all about.
I have to see those chocolate sculptures, too. That does look delicious!
Now it is on my "must have" list. We've stayed at the BC many times, eaten dinner at one of the Boardwalk restaurants many times, and have never yet seen the performers. We must be there too early. We'll be at the YC next week, with some open evenings, so maybe we'll get lucky this time.
) Halloween Party. I'd also like to see the decorations over at Fort Wilderness. I've heard that some of the campsites really go all out with Halloween decorations.
I will admit the way back is less exciting than the way to the castle. But the people along the route and the bands so a really good job of keeping your mind off that part.
Good memory. Yes that was my trip with he Joel encounter,
2 stays at POP, on either end and then 2 hotels in Houston. The one conference hotel was overbooked so I had the first night at a nearby hotel and a comped room and goodies for the inconvenience was okay.
I do that, yes, but I'm not sure who I stole it from -- I was thinking maybe you!
Oops! Wow. What a trip wrap up. Parade of pictures doesn't even begin to describe it!
It seems like it was a wonderful trip, aside from some illness and work stress. It is a shame you had those downers come into play, but I'm glad that you were able to make the best of it and have a good time. One of these days, I really want to be able to take a 12 day trip and just get away from reality for a couple of weeks!
