TOT 2008-Who's going??

[amykab]

I did a search and couldn't find a TOT 2008 thread, so I thought I would start one. Just curious to see who is going and all that!

I made our reservations at CSR for that weekend! Up until the other day (after I made my ressies) I had no idea that CSR was where you pick up your packets!

Are there any GTG planned for the weekend?

Amykab, DH and DD (CSR)
Windwalker (Dave) and Erica –BWV
Princessrunner (Lisa) and DH --CBR
TwoWDWfools (Liz) and DH –SSR
Lynn G and Scott – BWV

Jbucci and DH-SSR and ?
Roxy –CSR
Tiger Lily 03 and DH-BW
Big Vic and DW-POP

WDWFAN9 (Pat) and family- POP
Rozzie-BCV/BWV

Yes, Erica and her pet Panda will be there. We are at the BWV and will be there for 9 days.

Walking Panda

 

[princessrunner]

I will be there with my DH and DD13, DS7 staying at CBR. I am running with my SIL and BIL who will be bringing their DD9 and DS7 (the boys are 2 days apart in B-days) staying at BWV.

Fun times ahead!!!!!!!!

 

[twoWDWfools]

DH and I will be there. Staying at SSR for 8 days. So looking forward to this!

 

[Lynn G]

Scott and I will be there, staying at BWV's, arriving the 24th, leaving Nov.1. This is Scott's birthday trip to WDW! Not to mention that we really like the Food and Wine Festival!

 

[BrianD]

I will be there. My first Disney race. Actually, my first race, period. Hoping to stay at CSR. Need to get on the ball with that. Looking forward to it!

 

[jbucci]

My DH and I will be there- staying at SSR the week before, still looking for a room for Fri and Sat night (cost too many DVC points for the weekend stay).

 

[Roxy]

I am staying at csr with family and running with my friend. Isn't cool csr is packet pick up

 

[BrianD]

Just booked CSR for Friday & Saturday nights for $117 per night going through the WDW Groups line (listed on the ToT 13k site). Better than the AP rate. I'm glad I waited to book since packet pickup was moved to CSR. Made that an easy decision.

 

[amykab]

I can't wait to meet everyone!

BrianD Did that rate include tax? I booked an AP rate of like 120ish. When I booked the AP rate, I was clueless about the fact that they had special rates for this race!

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

DH and I will be there. I'm doing event and we are staying at BW. We come in from cruise Saturday and have to get packet then get to the event. We won't be in the "World" too long, but it will be a nice ending to a great week.

 

[Big Vic]

The DW and I will be there, and staying at POP.

There are preliminary plans to meet somewhere at MK during MNSSHP on the 24th. Maybe Cosmic Rays.

 

[JimB.]

Doing an overnighter @ BWV the night of the race. can't afford time off to go for any longer...........

 

[BrianD]

I can't wait to meet everyone!

BrianD Did that rate include tax? I booked an AP rate of like 120ish. When I booked the AP rate, I was clueless about the fact that they had special rates for this race!

With tax it is $131.63 per night, but I was getting quoted $145.13 (includes tax) per night for the AP rate at CSR. The AP rates seem to be higher on Friday & Saturday nights than on the weekdays, so the group rate is about $14 cheaper at least at CSR.

 

[WDWFLgal]

I'll be staying at Caribbean Beach for 2 nights. This will be my first TOT race so I'm looking forward to it.

 

[WDWFAN9]

I'll be there! DSIL Steve, DD Erin, and DS Craig are doing the ToT with me. We are staying at Pop and will be at MNSSHP Friday night.

Everyone remember that the cut id only 16 min pace. They say that still on the website. You will be picked up and no medal. So watch out for the sweeps since they aren't giving you 2 1/2 hrs like last year.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Thanks for that reminder Robert.

 

[amykab]

Hi Everyone:

I am trying to avoid doing real work at all costs so I made up a list of everyone going and resort ressies and added it to the original post. Let me know if I have messed anyone's name up since I am still kinda new around here.

Robert Thanks for the reminder about the pace! I have some lofty pace goals for myself for this race, I am hoping to be way ahead of the sweepers!

Brian Thanks for the rate info, I am going to try and book at that rate. Any money I can save on the room can be used for fun stuff! (Beer at EPCOT??)

Looking forward to meeting everyone! DH and DD will be at WDW too, but I don't know how long DD will last since it starts so late, so I may kind of be going solo for the night of the race.

Have a good day Everyone!

 

[Rozzie]

My first Disney Race also! We'll be at BCV the night of the race then on to BWV till Oct 31.
