Official Upcoming RunDisney DISMeets Thread

Put me on the pre-race list (Dopey). Had about 6 good weeks of training and now having another plantar fasciitis flare up. Hoping it calms down, but excited to try Dopey again and to meet some of you!
 
I’ll update the thread again later tonight ... but LAST CALL FOR HHHH & DATW RSVPs is Sunday at Noon if you want swag! I’m going to work on everything on Christmas Day to send to the printer on Tuesday!

If you are attending DATW and want a name DIFFERENT that your DIS Name, shoot me a PM ... also, if you’re bringing a +1 to DATW please PM the name for the lanyard!
 


I plan to try to do DATW. No need for swag-I still have my old WISH name tag that I can always bring!
 
RSVP lists should be updated!

Also - @courtneybeth and @bellrae have offered to secure a table each morning (Half and Full) in the Race Retreat for DISers! I'll let them post more details, but give them a heads-up here if this is something you'd be interested in!

Merry Christmas everyone! Safe and healthy week this week ahead of the big travel one for Marathon Weekend next week! That was a lot "weeks" in one sentence?

Official 2018 "Drinking Around the World"
Meet-Up Date:
Monday, Jan. 8
Meet-Up Time: 11:30 a.m.
Meet-Up Location: Beer Cart at Canada (Which is dumb, because EVERYONE knows you start in Mexico, but it's not my meet-up so ... #RespectYourElders)
Meet-Up Host: @FFigawi
More Info: Marathon Weekend is done ... now it's time for the REAL challenge - Drinking Around the World! Personalized lanyards will be provided to track your progress ...
Attendees: @Keels, @ZellyB, @Chris-Mo, @mrsg00fy, @croach, @Princess KP, @Dis5150 +1, @garneska +1, @SunDial, @bryana, @MommaoffherRocker, @mrsg00fy +1, @jmasgat

Yes to all. I'll be a +1 for Happy Hour. Oh, and I have race retreat this time around! Thanks for organizing!!
 
"Please let us know if you have race retreat and if you’d like to join us!!!"

I'll look for you Saturday in the tent.
 
So ... in keeping a weather eye on the horizon, in regards to the HHHH for upcoming Marathon Weekend (Friday, y'all - that's like THIS WEEK!) - it looks like we should still be a go for Hurricane Hannah's. However, in the event that it's not sunny (or if HH isn't open because the temperature is too low), our backup location for the event will be {drumroll, please!} ...

The brand-new Ale & Compass Lounge at the Yacht Club!

@FFigawi and I will make a call on Thursday depending on the forecast, but we will still plan to be at Hurricane Hannah's on Friday to meet all of you lovely folks!

I've got some surprise swag for everybody, and Mr. Keels will be providing a couple of growlers from a new local brewery in Orlando for those interested in craft beer to try! As always, John and I will be running a tab so you'll at least get a drink on us!

Will we be wearing matching shirts again??? You'll have to show up to find out!
