I sure hope the weather cooperates for the runners. I'm sure you would like it to be a bit warmer than it has been. Good luck everyone!! :D

Weather looks like low 60's, so it should be a little warm.

I'm heading down Thursday morning.

Let's try for a meetup at 1pm at EPCOT on Thursday. Maybe at LaCava???

Live update from wdw.
We arrived safely but late last night. We are headed over to the expo right now. It's a balmy 43 here (when we left the house yesterday it was 14)!
I look forward to the La Cava meet up tomorrow.

Was the look in NaCler's eye anything like the look in your eye when he coerces you onto Rock 'N Roller Coaster? ;)

Only a couple more hours until the 10k and I can't sleep! Can't wait to get out there and finish what I started when I signed up. It's been a great ride. Thank you all for the support!

So Awesome! You'll have to upload post race medal pics.
Please keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle until the ride comes to a full and complete stop. Thank you, and enjoy the rest of your day here at Walt Disney World.
