[Sandy321]

Theya re picky about names. Just type in your last name and I think you get a list. If not, do you go by SAndra?

*doh

went with just my last name!! I'm found!!

(of course I found there is a Deborah with *MY* last name!! wait till dh hears that!! )

Dana- I'm with you on waiting until the last minute to leave. It's the curse of living so close- sure we can go more often, but we never go for more than a 3 day weekend!

Leanna- I have rarely worn my WISH tanks. I have two- in theory I wore one to the ToT and one to Minnie (could have been the same one, what do I know?) I'm going to probably wear them anyway. It could end up being a bad idea, but so could many other things I'll be doing this weekend...

Sandy- maybe I should go check and see if I exist...

I just made it to Target- no cowbells, but I did get green pompoms and some green baskets for my family to carry wipes and tootsie pops in. I spent some time in the pharmacy section getting bandaids, vaseline, tylenol, etc. I just kept thinking we must all be crazy-- here I feel fine physically, but I expect to hurt like crazy by Sunday afternoon.

I fluctuate between being completely terrified and completely euphoric. Is that normal?

So...um....I've never actually run in my WISH shirt.... By the time it arrived I needed colder gear. So am I just asking for a problem if I do wear it for the full?

Its cold here too (or was in December ) but I wanted to make sure the tshirt was roomy enough to run in - so I took it for a treadmill run, its lighterweight than my usual running shirt - so it was actually better than what I usually run in!!

I also plan to do a "trial run" when we get to Disney either Thurs or Friday put on my gear and take a short lap around the Boardwalk and make any necessary changes!!

DANA how is your refresh page doing now???

Greeting Racing Team -

I'm not having the best of days. Not feeling very well and MAJORLY stressed from issues at home. SO not ready for this race....

I have five WISH posters but don't have time to make name badges. I'm really really sorry.

I'm so sorry to hear about the accidents on I-4 last night but, well, I'm kinda wondering if the brush fires are anywhere near WDW. When I was there in May the smoke from he wildfires was awful at PC.

Anyway, See you all very soon. Travel safely.

 

[Sandy321]

Badges? do we need *stinkin* badges???



Sorry - I'm weird!! I'm sure we can make our own name tags - I was thinking of bringing my Lime Green Mickey Head and adding my name

OK I've decided - I am in denial!! IF I get myself off the computer, then I have to do something and then its all too real!!

 

[Valentine]

Ooooohhhh... I hope you feel better soon Judy!! See you Friday....Have a Safe trip!!

Maybe I can come up with some name badge ideas before I leave...

I already have some sticky letters for everyone to use on their cowbells...or wherever We can have some crafting fun at POP!!

Hi Everyone-

Thank goodness Carrie asked us to keep the posts short!

I just had an idea for how to find people at the start when its still dark. Green glow in the dark necklaces. I was packing my goody bags for my team and had purple ones for their kids to wear at the pasta party. Then I thought about you guys and I was so mad I didn't think of this sooner.

A few years ago, I brought them to MK for my kids and their cousins. We passed them out as soon as it got dark and you'd have thought I was Santa Claus! I can not tell you how many people stopped and asked us where we got them. It helped us keep track of everyone too. I buy them when they go on sale at the dollar store 5 for $1.

I have been leaning toward going to MS since it will be so early, I was worried about being stuck way in back and my kids not being able to see but if we go that early do you think we can get a decent spot.

angie

DH and I always have (06 and 07). They don't open MK until ~6. Last year, they let us out at COntemp, as we could not get off at MK, either. We walked from there , got in line adn had no problem.

Hi Everyone!

I have my lime green Mickey Head with W.I.S.H., Dis, and Worfiedoodles on it. I tuck it into a clear badge bag around my neck. If you see me say "Hi"!

I have to go to Target one last time, so I'll be looking for the glow in the dark necklace. Great idea!

I see I am not the only one still not at WDW. I have one more day of work and then leave at 7am on Friday. This is a short 4 day trip for us.

I want to pack tonight as Thursday have to take the dog to Vet and drop one of our cars off to get inspected while we are gone.

See everyone Friday at POP.

Checking in one last time.....

Allyson & Kira -

Heather - Sorry to hear of the loss of you FIL

Judy - Feel better. Don't stress on the name tags. We still have our from last year so we will bring them with us.

Didn't find any green cowbells at our local Target & I had Sean(DS) check at the Target near Babies R Us when they went there to register...no luck there either. I do have my cowbell & clapper from my band parent days so I am bringing them.

Time to finish packing & hopefully get some sleep tonight. We leave for the airport at 3:30am. Hope to see some of you at the expo Thursday afternoon & then see most everyone else Friday at POP.

Safe travels everyone!

 

[Texa]

Sometimes poster/ (mostly lurker) wanting to wish everyone luck. I've been following these threads for a year and they have given me the courage to keep going! No matter what I'll be at the starting line!

I'm leaving tomorrow morning and 4:00am. Went to home depot and got a couple to Green Mickey head to pin to my sleeves! (hope "alien green" was the right one )

Hopefully I'll meet some of you at the starting line of the 1/2 on Saturday.

Whoop!

 

[cdn_gal_eeyore]

I have a t-shirt and it isn't really loose fitting... Uh oh, what am I going to wear now??

 

[HMHunters]

Judy - PD so you'll be feeling better

I am a nervous wreck today; what will I be like tomorrow?!? I don't know why I'm bothering to go to work tomorrow. I don't imagine I'll get anything done.

I may need to resurrect the "EEK" thread.

BRING it anyway!! see what works best!!

GLOW STICKS can you carry them on the plane? We're not checking luggage (fingers crossed, its part of the plan, but dh is very flexible!!) I do believe we have a box in the garage left over from 4th of July!! I'll bring what I can - I dont think there are any yellow/green - 4th of July RED and BLUE!! But they're free! (I'm talking I have 50 of them, maybe more!! So I can trade glow sticks for a cow bell!! 5/1 trade?)

 

[panthergirl]

Sandy, your question about bringing glow sticks on the plane got me thinking. Anybody know if you can bring Clif Blocks on the plane? i have them in my carry on with the rest of my race gear. Maybe I will pack a couple more in my checked bag in case they get confiscated!

 

[fan_of_small_world]

Sandy - I'm not sure you'd be allowed to take Glow Sticks in your carry-on, since they have liquid inside. You'd be better off packing them in checked luggage (that's what I did when we went to WDW 10/06). ETA: Should have read your whole post, lol. You can always give them a try, but you'd have to be ready to toss them if they won't let you take them in your carry-on.

Susan - I've never even seen one, but if they're less than 3 oz each, can you just pop them into your quart-sized ziplock bag?

 

[Sandy321]

I just read the TSA website and gu etc is allowed as long as it fits in the 1 quart bag and is in the 3 ounce (3 - 1 -1 three ounces, 1 bag, per 1 person)

I'll throw in the gu I havent used!! I must remember to transfer my deodarant and lipstick in the 1 quart bag!

[panthergirl]

Cari - they look like jello shots but I think the package is more than 3 oz. I think I will just pack some extra in my checked bag. Worse come to worst I am sure I can pick up more at the Expo. Thanks!

As Bloks are jelly (or solid) they shouldn't be a problem in my mind.
