@Keels please put me down for the four race pre-meets. I will be +1 for the 5K as I am running with my daughter. This is so organized!
 
It appears as though I'm going to be out and about at the parks on the 5th and may be able to skip out for a while and hit the meetup at HH. This far out it's hard to tell whether my social anxiety will get the better of me, but you can put me down (in pencil). I'd love to meet everyone but I'm not good at things like interacting with people, talking to people, functioning like a normal human being, etc. so I can't be 100% sure I won't flake out.

OMG - YAY!!!!!!!!!! Please come say Hi - and if you want, I'll make small talk for you so you just have to sit there and try to remember who everyone is!!
 
OK!! I think I've got everyone RSVP'd for Marathon Weekend meets ... PLEASE check and make sure to see if I'm missing anyone! Since there are so many of us, the RSVP list will be important to tag or message everyone if there are changes, updates, etc.

******* FOR MARATHON WEEKEND EVENTS HOSTED BY @Keels & @FFigawi *******

If you are planning to attend either the Hurricane Hannah's Happy Hour (man, I love alliteration!) on Friday afternoon or DAWT on Monday - or are even THINKING about attending, I encourage you to RSVP! If you don't show? No biggie.

I'm bringing some gifties - buttons to represent your "Resort Squad" according to @rteetz's spreadsheet on the Marathon Weekend Thread to the HHHH and personalized "Official DIS DATW" Lanyards for the Monday DATW and I'd rather have leftovers than not enough.

You can add me. Looks like I will be in Epcot that day so I could very well make my way over to Hurricane Hannah's. Hopefully I do.

OK, you got me with that alliteration!!! :) I really wanted to come, but wasn't sure if I should as it's my first runDisney event and I don't want to feel like a party crasher. BUT, I think it sounds like so much fun and will really try to make it for the Happy Hour!!! plus 1, my husband, if that's OK.

Thanks, @Keels!!
 
@Keels you can put me down a maybe for Hannahs meetup. Not sure I will be able to get there in time since I'm arriving that day but I'm going to try. Thanks!

I’m RSVP-ing for the post 5k meet-up. I will also swing by The HH meet-up on the 5th, but I’m going to be beyond fashionably late because my Frozen fast-pass is from 2:15-3:15.
 
@Keels okay, so put me down for the pre 5k and pre 10k meet up (I'll be doing Race Retreat for the half and full). I've just realised I have no plans on Monday, so depending on how I feel post-Dopey, I could be up for the DATW.
