Thanks Dave!

 

[chimera]

DH and I are in!

Carrie...you guys should totally come down...maybe check out the new DVC at AKL . You could tell Scott this is an official WISH team function and you are required to be there

 

[Kristi1357]

Yeah Carrie - what Mel said!

Just tell Scott it's my birthday and you must come celebrate with me!

Mel that is an excellent idea! All team members are required to present themselves at MGM on 10-27

Tammy I didn't know we had a !!!! I love the snail! You see when Susan and first saw a Donald medal in 2004 we thought they gave some people SNAIL medals LOL

Dave what a hoot! I can see Susan being in your group of walkers which would be a good thing for her pace She gets going on our any of our walks and I am in trouble laughing so hard.

We've been discussing the medal too. Will they be the same? I agree they should make them different otherwise might as well do the shorter distance except i'm looking forward to the 13K distance in prepping for Jan. But it will be the same finish line and the fast 13Kers will be finishing with and ahead of the 6.5K people so if we get different medals then we'll have different bibs... sweet!

Dave regarding Disney showing us a map then changing it up on us due to the theme Too funny!

Hey! What about them having someone impersonating Rod Sterling? Oh I just can't wait to see what they have planned for us!!!!!!!

Carrie??? You know we are enablers if you need us to draw up a course then when the map is finally posted we'll fall back on Dave's idea of them having changed it due to the theme. We're there for you! Course Scott might know something is up when he sees the course drawn in crayola LOL

I love you all!

Mel - I like you're thinking. I could even go with an "I've got to bring the shirts to the official meeting."

I'm working on it, but I will feel guilty if I push too hard. Even worse, our fellow bike path sharere 2006 goofy-er told us that Detroit would be cool this year, as this is its 30th anniv. Still workign on leavign from Detriot. It's that week's vacation that could be tough, though.

Dave - I think you should start a "Who's going to the ToT13K?" list like I have for the Goofy/Full/Half....which BTW I am going right to now to update.

I nominate Dave! Anyone?? Anyone???

Oops, sorry, I didn't see this post before I posted the WISH Roster for ToT. Darn! Sorry, Dave, I jumped in too soon.

My daughter and I just signed up for the 13K--our very first race. I'm a total newbie at running, but I plan to really train hard between now and then. ) Does anyone know if there is a pace or time requirement? I can walk for hours at a good clip without wearing down too much, but running takes it out of me a bit quicker. We're so excited to be a part of this!

Tammy, I was wondering the same thing.

Tammy- Maybe because we'll be running into the Twilight Zone time will be warped and we'll either be able to go very fast or it will be like in some of my dreams and we'll fell like our feet are made of lead and we can't run at all. Time won't mean anything.

 

[ultramickeymouse]

I am sure there will be a time limit. Disney usually does 15 min/miles for races shorter than the 1/2 marathon. The 1/2 & full have 16 min/miles. I am hoping for the 16 min/miles so we can relax and enjoy

Well that sweeper better be a pretty big old boy or we are not going to let him have any of our WISH family.

I'm hoping for 16mpm pace too. Actually with the problems Disney is having getting filling the Minnie, perhaps they should increase the pacing requirements to appeal to people who have never done a race and might be leery of such a "fast" pace, but would love to try. Since the Minnie and ToT are short (who would have ever thought that I would say 8 or 9 miles is short??) an extra minute or two per mile doesn't significantly increase the amount of time the course would have to be open. Of course this suggestion comes from a true penguin!!

LOL!! Well, I'll be hoping to be time warped to the end at lightning speed. Anything's possible in---The Twilight Zone.

I don't think I'd have any trouble even walking the 15 min/miles, but the 16 min/miles sure would be nice. Here's hoping. If anyone hears for sure, could they please post the info, here? Thanks!

 

[katerkat]

How fast do these things usually fill up? DH *might* be deploying in mid-October, and, well, there's MNSSHP which I've never done...and then Dan Zanes will be performing at MGM and my son LOVES him...and, oh, there's a nice race! But the deployment won't be firm until August and I'd hate to ditch him if he's leaving in the beginning of November instead. (As if the military might schedule things around my needs!)

 

[cobbler]

I too am wondering on the pace requirements. If you look under eligibility there isn't anything listed like a pace requirement or time limit to finish like there is listed under the marathons.

I am skeptical if there is a requirement since both races start at 9pm and the 6.5K is open to all ages + the 13K age limit is 3 years younger than the marathon.

I would like to know. I am seriously considering it, I mean really seriously since we will be getting off the member cruise the Thursday prior. We are already down there . . .

DS, who will be 11 at the beg of October really wants to do one. I want to do the 13K and if there wasn't a requirement he could do it with me but if not then have him do the 6.5K, but I don't want to be seperated from him obviously.

Is there any other info that what is posted?

 

[ultramickeymouse]

They will almost for sure put something together. They don't want people wandering around at midnight(3 hrs or more) doing the race. If they don't put a pace requirement Disney couldn't do anything about them! I mentioned the most probables earlier in a post(Disney Standard Paces)

 

[Big Vic]

I didn't know if I should start a new thread for this or not. So, here goes.

The DW and I are planning to do Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party on thd 26th, and I was thinking about getting dinner reservations at the Liberty Tree Tavern around 1700 hours that day.

If you would like to join us let me know. I'll make the ADR later this month.

Does anyone know if there's a maximum number of diners allowed for an ADR, or does it depend on the restaurant?

 

[Honeibee]

Are we thinking that our WISH meet will be at MNSSHP? Or should I say "a" WISH meet, not THE WISH meet? Mel? Charlie and I are hoping to snag tickets for that night.

Ok, don't let this get around, but he wants to DRIVE to Florida. He's never done it, so to him it sounds like fun. I've done it more times than I want to remember. (I had a really cheap ex DH ) The novelty wears off after the 25th trip. Anyway, we are planning on arriving at WDW very early Friday morning.

 

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

I'm thinking about trying to do the Halloween Party on the 25th - thought it might be less busy on Thursday compared to Friday??

If there is going to be a big WISH meet at the party on Friday though, let me know. I might reevaluate...
