Please post which events you're attending and how many folks will be coming. If there are any other ideas for stuff to do, feel free to jump in!

 

[KelNottAt]

Thanks for compiling the info, Mel.

Due to our flight schedule I think the only one I'll make it to will be post-Half. No idea how many might join me...probably my kids and maybe my mom and step-dad. So that's 3 - 5 total.

Can't wait!

 

[jodistar]

I hope to make it for the Friday night event - It would be just Bob and myself.

 

[TiffJ]

Yay! Its planning time!

I'll be there Friday, post race 1/2 marathon at the W tent & at Sunday's Illumination party. I will have DH , 2 DS's and parents in tow.

 

[Kristi1357]

We will be there Friday at POR too (me, Chad & Zack).

I also plan on hitting the W tent after the half.

I will talk to Chad about the Monday morning meet - that sounds good too!

 

[plutosmyfav]

We will be at the POR Friday, and hopefully catch some WISHers at the W tents on both days. We won't be attending the Illuminations dessert or the Monday morning breakfast due to travel arrangements.

It will just be Paul and myself. Poor little Joshua knows nothing of this quick trip It's killing me.

 

[nstauffer]

I will be there for Friday's meet, the post 1/2 (if I can walk), and will be cheering on the full marathoners on Sunday, at the post on Sunday, and at the breakfast on Monday. My twin will be joining, and her DH may join as well.

I can't wait to meet all of you!

Nikki

 

[Jen117]

DH and I should be at POR on Friday. Not sure about the kids, they may hang with grandparents at the parks.

We should be at the W tent sometime after the 1/2. It all depends on how the kids are once I am done. I will be watching for any WISHers I see during the Full, and I scream LOUD!!!!

DH and I will be at the Illuminations party, I can't wait!!!!

Things may change between then and now, but I will keep everyone updated.

 

[Honeibee]

Dh and I are actually staying at POR, so we'll be there for Friday night's meet. Also, post-Half, we'll be at the W. (Unless I'm taken out on a stretcher!) We'll be there screaming for anyone in Lime Green for the Full, but we are flying home Sunday night.

 

[solotraveler]

I will definately be at POR on Friday and at the Illuminations Party on Sunday.

I'm not entirely sure about the "W" tents meets--- I'm 90% sure I'll be there after the half, but I might just need to get horizontal after the full.... have to play that one by ear.

I will sadly miss the Monday breakfast as I will be face down on a massage table at Saratoga Springs.

Kevin

 

[monte]

Sadly, I won't be there this year, but will be there in spirit and hope to meet everyone in 2008

Oh, Kevin, that's just TOO BAD you can't make it!!!

 

[msblrobs]

DH and I are staying a Pop and Southwest will decide if the kiddos are able to come or not. If I can get a DING fare or two for our upcoming trip, I'll be able to fly the kids on a RR ticket for marathon weekend.

At this point, we are a DEFINITE for POR on Friday.

DH is running the 1/2 with an anticipated 2:45 or so finish. I will be the scream team that day, so if anyone wants to meet up with me to cheer the 1/2er's, I'd love to meet up with someone. I will be at the start and then will travel by WDW transportation for viewing. We will be at the "W" tent to see everyone as they come in. If the kids come, I may have to modify that.

I am running the full and DH will be scream team that day. We will be at the "W" tent after and will hang out to see some WISH'ers.

If the kids don't come, DH and I would like to go to the Illuminations Party Sunday Night (Rhonda, I know we'd need to talk about that!!) but if they are with us, we'll be unable to make it that night.

We plan on attending the Boardwalk Monday morning meet, with or without the kids.

Okay, now I am really getting excited!! You just reminded me why I REALLY run these races - to see you guys!!

1/2 W Tent - Scott and I

Full W Tent - Scott, me, cousin, mom, dad

Illuminations - Scott, me, cousin, mom, dad

Monday Bfst - Scott, me, cousin, mom, dad (Probably, unless I steal solo's appt)

 

[WDWFAN9]

Yippee!! It is getting closer and closer....

DD21 and I will be at POR on Friday

I will be at the Full W tent, probably long after everyone else is gone!!

DD and I will be at the Illuminations party (Rhonda you still have to send me the payment info!)

I will be at the Monday breakfast

I am still undecided about cheering on Saturday and going to the W tent after the half. As much as I want to cheer and celebrate with my half teammates, I am concerned about tiring my legs out with too much standing the day before the full. A lot will depend on how I feel, and what my DD wants to do. I can't believe how quickly January is coming all of a sudden!

Pat - do you have an AP? If so, maybe you could cheer from a bench or something inside Epcot? I thought you said something about having an AP when we were at DL? Or maybe it was about how you weren't getting an AP this year...

Just an idea - I'd like being scream-teamed at!
My personal scream team will be doing the half, so I am outta luck there. But then again, they both will be finishing before me.

 

[TEK224]

I'm not sure if I can make it to POR on Friday. I have some friends arriving Fri. afternoon. I have to meet them at the resort. Depends on what time they get in.
Will stop by the W tent on Sat. Sun., too, if I can still move. Gonna try to hit the bakery on Mon. morning (missed it this year cause I was in the ER).

Hadn't we discussed breakfast at Beaches & Cream this year? I'll be there either way, but just thoguth we had talked about htat.

I don't recall Beaches and Cream, but I may not have paid close attention . It's really up to whoever's going to attend.

 

[aladdinsgirl]

I am getting SO excited!!!!

We will be at POR for dinner on Friday, it will be my Mom and Dad who are both doing the half and Stephen and I.

I will be at mile 4 (TTC) for the half until I see Stephen, my Mom and Dad--Mom and Dad are both walking, so I imagine I'll be there until close to 8:00, depending on the wave start. After I see them, I'm going over to the finish and then I'll be at the W tent.

I'll be at the W tent after the full, if I'm able to walk.

Hopefully we'll be at the breakfast on Monday morning, unless we forget about it, like last year.
