BUT - I do know someone who's running in 08 who's name isn't on the list yet!!!!

Wow Jonathan. That's really nice of you. DId you ever consider a career in marketing??? No, really, you're very sweet and a great friend. Thanks so much.

So please add my name (Kate) to the list for the half-marathon and I would love to meet also.

In addition to meeting, are you having an official DWT Dream Team running group to raise money? I'd like to participate if you do. I see that other charities have official teams.

I agree with GoofTroop3 on having an offical DWT Dream team running group.I will also be more than happy to participate.

WOW!!!!!!!!! I'm excited, overwhelmed, thrilled, (a bit frightened LOL), and ecstatic about everyone's that's coming to run and/or cheer!!! What a turnout!!

As for shirts, I was trying to to spill the beans before I had a chance to check it out fully, but what do you all think of

The WDW Radio Show Marathon Team

shirts for everyone??? Remember, you can be a part of the "team" by just being a supporter, supplier of oxygen to Lou at the 35 yard mark, etc.

That sounds great!!!

Yes I know that we can be apart of the team by donating to the dream ,but making it official will just make the dream come true.
I think that everyone should also put thier sign in name on thier shirts??

I'm wondering the same. I would like to get Polynesian but will settle for cheapest I can get on the monorail (forget the buses). Never stayed at Contemporary. Might be a good chance to try and check it out. [Just in case we do get the CRV.

] Backup plan is to walk around to an EPCOT resort but not sure if I will be able to walk after the 1/2M.

Just rec'd my e-mail offer for the 2008 WDW Marathon Travel Package.

I got $94.92/night for Value (AS or Pop), $167.62 for Moderate (PO, CS, or CR) and $253.12 for AKL and $438.76 for GF.

Rates for 2008 still not on WDW website. But quoted rates in offer compared to on-line rate at WDW for one month earlier (pre-peak) are slightly higher for value and moderate and 10% lower for AKL and 19% lower for GF. Makes me wonder what actual 2008 rates will be and whether this package will offer any savings at the value and moderate levels.

Anyone else ask for the offer when they signed up?
