I guess we can get a bus to TTC from resort.....guess we can't drink too much at Scat Cat the night before we have to get up EARLY

oh that link didn't open up to the pages I wanted it too

I had printed out some pages from that notebook site the other day. It says "special marathon weekend transportaion wil continue thoughout the morning for spectators." I plan on asking at the resort to make sure. If worse comes to worse I'll pay a cabbie to get us their. But I think we'll be okay. We just may need to leave extra early because it may take a bus longer than usual to get us there.

I've been down there for marathon weekend before but wasn't on a bus until most of the marathon was done. I've cheered runners on going into Epcot once and runners going through MGM. It's really cool. You can't help but get excited for them and cheer them on.

I guess, the question is,..... when will our runners get there?

Have any of the WDWRadio Marathon Team runners been pre-qualified or are most of them in the last few corrals reserved for less experienced runners?

I can't wai!t

To avoid confusion I would like to keep the information all here in one place, therefore I have deleted the other thread.

I just want people to be aware that this is an informal meeting, no games, prizes and the like. The meet was organized to allow the runners, their family and friends who are coming to be a part of the Marathon weekend the chance to meet up and exchange race day experiences.

Of course anyone who is in WDW is more than welcome to come say hi.

I can't wait to meet you all and support our WDW Radio

Marathon Team!!!

So where are we meeting? I searched around the threads but couldn't find it. I was hoping for a meet over at Beaches and Cream

eyeinthesky · 01-01-2008, 05:37 PM

I'll be at "The Spot" around 6:30. Hope to see you all there!

The official WDWRadio/DTW Marathon Weekend Meet
will be held at
2:00 PM on Saturday January 12, 2008
at the Tomorrowland Noodle Terrace
lower level.

Our reasoning is that the half marathon runners will be arriving at WDW resort at various times on Friday and will need to get to need to get to bed at a reasonable hour for the race the following morning. We figured that two in the afternoon Saturday allows Half Marathon runners the chance to rest up and gives the Goofy and Full Marathon runners time to get to bed early enough to compete the next day. We also have taken into consideration those people coming to be a part of the moral support team who may only be there Saturday.

We look forward to seeing you all in just a short 86 days!!!!!

Keep on

When the runners have to head to bed the rest of you can have a pre-race day gathering....

lorilovestigger and flutter are organizing a Friday night gathering at Scat Cat's Lounge in POFQ

Enjoy and remember to set those alarms before the drinks begin to flow!

Seeee ya!
