Wish walkers....a slightly OT thread...

[welovedis]

Sorry if this is considered OT for this board, but it has to do with the WISH walkers that will be participating in the 2005 1/2 marathon.

As many of you know I completed the 2004 WDW 1/2 marathon & would like to participate again in 2005. DH & I both are registered for the event. The problem I am having is what to do as far as babysitting for our DS???

DH says he will do the marathon if we can cross the finish line together (just as we plan to do as a family--all 3 of us--the previous day in the 5K). If we want to do that then we have to find some way for someone to be with DS from about 4AM until we get back after the race finish.

At first we thought maybe my mom could accompany us on this trip, however, she has been hospitalized for the last 3 weeks and is doubtful to be up for a trip at all. We thought some of our Rochester, NY Disney friends might be at WDW at that time, but they will not be. We have used sitting services (years ago for brief time periods) but am not sure if they will sit at that of the night?

Anyone here have any suggestions or ideas? We are wracking our brains trying to figure something out!

Thanks!

I wish I could help- but I have no idea! I wonder if you called the resort you're styaing at if they could tell you if there is extended sitting for that marathon morning- I'll ask around - I'm sure someone will be avble to give you some info though!

Ok, I've solved my own problem. I got in touch with both Fairy Godmothers and Kids Night Out and both of them offer childcare in room and would come during the middle of the night (like 3am) to stay with him.

Phew!

Now we can start planning!

Thanks anyway-K
