    Listening this morning... so emotional first hearing John's story and then listening to Marathon weekend recap and reliving the ups and downs of that experience. But I am so happy that John is feeling good (you looked great!) and we have this community to turn to for support.

    For a charity, what about the American Cancer Society? or Give Kids the World?

    I can't answer the Take it or Leave it since I don't qualify for Tables in Wonderland. I might take it if it would make financial sense but I really don't know.

    Marathon weekend was a blast, it was easily the best trip I've ever taken to Disney.

    Still in shock that the 'Goofy' moment was caught on tape. Truly bizarre.

    I still can't believe that I got that moment on video! Yes, I am the one who recorded it. I had a GoPro camera that I ran the Dopey Challenge with. I recorded a ton of video that weekend, and a lot of funny moments, but this is my absolute favorite. We had just seen Goofy actually go inside for a break; and yes, the line was huge.

    Not finished listening yet, but wanted to comment.

    Got choked up listening to John's story. John, so glad you are on the mend...

    Marathon weekend was one of the most exhausting, fun weekends I have had in a long time. Mel and Carol, I don't think I'll ever forget that guard at the Boardwalk welcoming us home. That was hilarious. It was fun to get to hang out with you ladies bright and early that morning!

    T.I.M. aka, J.E.R.K. He was the worst. He's lucky we didn't miss seeing anyone! There would have been an ICOT riot!

    I'm in for next year, I really want to do the 10k. I have my pic crossing the finish line of the 5k this year, and want to be able to see the difference in my weight crossing next year. I'll be staying in the Epcot area, and won't be with my family. That was the hard part for me. I don't mind early mornings, but keeping up with a 2 year old in the parks made it really hard.

    Listening some more...love having you all back!

    Meg, that guard telling us to have a good night WAS hilarious. If he only knew. We made the most of my erroneous planning with the times and had a great chat/rock in the chairs that morning. I've never seen the Boardwalk so dead. You'd think everyone was asleep! lol

    But seriously, it was those kind of moments that made the weekend so special. Forever in my heart it will be one of my very most favorite WDW trips. Even stupid FP+ couldn't ruin that.

    I agree Mel. It was such a great trip. As tired as I was that morning, just sitting there and enjoying the peace on the Boardwalk was one of the best times of the weekend.

    Not finished yet but wanted to pop in with a few thoughts before I forgot!

    Like Nikki, I got choked up hearing John tell his story. So glad things worked out in the end, and of course you get a pass on the lack of podcast during that time

    Mel-Thanks for the little shout out. For those not in the running threads, I wanted to share a little bit more about my husband. Hope he doesn't get embarrassed but my husband had been overweight for a number of years. His father took a fatal heart attack at 54. Since that time I have been urging him gently to get healthy but he lacked motivation. I showed him pictures from people who did the 5K last year and the medals, and told him I wanted to go to Disney World and run a race and I wanted him to do it with me. When Intercot announced the meet that sealed the deal. He started running, eating healthier, and bam. He's down 60 lbs and is the same weight as when I started dating him when he was 18 (He is 30). Amazing!

    Dolphin- Curious if John experienced the fire alarm thursday night/friday morning. (I think it was 1am). That was a nightmare. This was the second time we stayed there and this time around it wasn't so hot. We had a lot of NOISE problems. Too many rowdy conventioneers. We heard every door slam, and one night even had to call the front desk because our next door neighbor propped his door open and was having basically an open room party into the wee hours. I love the location of Dolphin for the rate we got (we were at a base rate of $170 I believe with a teacher discount), but was soooo happy to switch to All Star Music where we had a room off the beaten path, and some peace and quiet.

    Sleep Number bed- Tell me more! Hubby and I JUST started researching this. We are both waking up consistently with aches and pains, tossing and turning, and we think it's time for a new mattress. I love the concept of the Sleep Number bed. We plan to go to a store to test it out a little.

    Ok- off to listen to your experiences with My Magic +....

    Default Loved it

    Got out the tissues for the first 10 minutes.

    Suggestion on charity: GiveKidstheWorld in Orlando. Its Disney and family related. Check them out.

    #runICOT weekend was terrific and I'm IN for next year. 5K and 10K next time. Don't know if I'll do the 1/2. I liked cheering with you guys so much I have to save time for cheering! I wish I could share that video but *I was never there*

    My cheer poster got a shout out! YAY! The poster said "You are not the Yeti. Keep Moving" with a picture of our Yeti and #runICOT. It was neon green like our shirts. Here are my #runICOT pics: https://runicot2014.shutterfly.com/runicot2014 There are some pictures from the meets that are kinda cute.

    TIW - *if* we move to Florida its definitely a take it. But since we go there so infrequently and don't use Table Service a lot.... and other than my margaritas at La Cava, I'm not paying out of pocket for a lot of stuff as we are on dining plan for the kids. For counter service, normally we only use 2 or 3 meals for all 4 of us!

    Frozen - my family LOVED it. Especially "Let it Go"

    Mel, just so you know, I have the poster. It will make an appearance at every upcoming #runICOT event. Love it!

    Caught this line at the end, I think it was Mel who said it, and I may need to put it in my signature: "We crank because we care."

    Exactly! 90% of my posts on here are positive, but I don't think there's anything wrong with venting frustrations about the lack of improvements in the parks and the whole My Magic + vs. what's going on with Universal. I found myself agreeing with majority of what was said in the latter half of the podcast. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but something I've been noticing on the boards is this attitude that you have to love everything about Disney World, if not, you're just burnt out or you hate change, or you hate technology, or you don't really love it as much as the rest of us and so on...

    So let me get this straight... If I don't go every year/ year and a half, I'll just be so excited to go that I will let all the little details (like what you noticed at PhilharMagic) slip my observation? Don't think so. "We crank because we care." Perfect.

    Even with the crank, Intercot is the most positive discussion board out there. We can all vent and not feel like we are going to get flamed on here. Everyone's opinion is respected and that says a lot about every person on this board. You honestly can tell that everyone on this site loves Disney and they do care. I have seen on other sites where you kind of wonder why they are there. Vile and hate spew from every post. Intercot is the best!!!!!

    Yep, that was me, but I can't take credit. That was the title of one of our early podcasts where we did a lot of....cranking.

    But, just as you explained Maryanne, it truly is because we care.

    You speak the truth! Not sure why folks thrive on that, instead of the positive, constructive discussion here on INTERCOT.
