2014 WDW Marathon Weekend Official INTERCOT Meet

[Carol]

I'll be lodging at the Shades of Green with Mel.

I cannot justify staying at an Epcot resort or using DVC points elsewhere since there will not be any late nights for me. I'll be getting up at o'dark thirty every day but Monday.

Does anyone own dvc at boardwalk and can tell me how availability is looking. I cant book for another 2 months

[Carol]

I think you'll be ok, Justin if you call on the day of your 7 month window.

We were able to score a villa at Boardwalk during the Sandy portion of our trip in October without any notice at all and it was busy during that time frame with the Food and Wine Festival and Halloween Parties.

I'll be waiting to book as soon as I can

For the half, I'm definitely going to suggest we meet early and cheer on Main Street, then move to the bus loading area at Epcot to see our runners just before they finish.

Hi Mel - Still trying to talk my mom into coming down for the Run Disney/ICOT meet and hoping I can get her to join in with the pack of spectators and traveling in that pack as you indicated. We are running the 5K and wondered if anyone was going to gather as a group to watch the 5K run. Would love to have her be a part of that group! Thanks for any info. I also have another question - is anyone staying at Art of Animation during this weekend? I wondered because I'm really trying to talk my DH and DD to staying at Beach Club, but my 10 year old DD really wants to stay at Art of Animation and I wonder how far that will be from all the ICOT happenings?

We're going to be right next door at Pop Century.

Melissa, yes, we will have a group of cheerleaders for the 5K. There really isn't very many places to cheer along the 5K route except for the finish line area, so we'll organize something there. Details coming!

[MelissaW]

Thanks for the info. So if my mom does come then I will make sure she is placed with the cheerleaders at the finish line for the 5K. I can't wait. This is going to be so much fun! It is so motivating to keep me working hard!

[MelissaW]

All registered for the 5K. Question for anyone not running. My wife is NOT running and was wondering where everyone who isn't running are gonna be hanging out? I don't want to leave her alone while I attempt to not make a fool of myself running. Thanks for any info and cant wait to see everyone. ALso I asked on FB but where is everyone thinking of staying? We will be down from Wednesday till sunday then doing the Disney Dream 4 night cruise.

Hi Justin. If my mom comes - she is not running but my DH and DD and I are running the 5k so she'll be cheering too! Awesome for you on the cruise. You'll deserve it!

[MelissaW]

I just have to say that knowing this group is all going to do this together (and that so many of us are first timers) is really motivating me! I've wanted to lose some weight for a long time, but this is finally giving me the push to get serious about it, and I love that!

I love my Intercot friends!!

Reading through all of the posts and I just want to also give a great by HUG and shout out to all of our Intercot family! This too has truly motivated me and my husband. We have been on a weight watchers journey since last May. My husband has met his lifetime goal at 89 lbs lost - he did that just last Saturday!!! And I've lost 40 lbs. I still have a long way to go on this journey. But every morning when I get up I have my Run Disney reminder note on my mirror and just knowing that we are going to meet up and do this together truly inspires me to keep pushing on! Meg - you have totally got it right...

[MelissaW]

I like those, Nikki. Let's see what others think and/or suggest, and then ultimately we'll run it by John.

Is there a decision on the twitter hash tag? I'm so behind...

Congratulations! 40 pounds is a great accomplishment! Keep up the good work.

Incredible! That is a huge accomplishment, Melissa. Wish I could get as inspired.

We decided that #ICOTruns could be taken the wrong way (LOL!), so #runICOT it is.

OMG that never crossed my mind when I suggested it!

I downloaded Jeff Galloway's (runDisney's advisor) iPod application for the 5K. Jon is joining me so he needs some training assistance.

Run/Walk/Run training looks like a good Couch to 5K plan to me.

I'm getting so healthy you guys may not recognize me by January.

The Adult Cardio Kickboxing is helping a lot in addition to the elliptical. Its also cheaper than lawyers than therapy.

But what I'm REALLY exited for is to cheer all of our real INTERCOT runners in my Yeti or other Intercot shirt. And Jellyrolls too.

[Buttercup]

Alright, looks like one more from Canada will be joining the festivities. My mom heard about you guys and wants to hoard in on our vacation! Doubtful she'll be coming to any of the meetups but she's excited to cheer on all the runners!

[magicofdisney]

I just began training for my first 5K. Any 5K. Whichever one I can get my hands on. It never occurred to me that Disney has a 5K. I thought it was just marathons and half marathons. I'm obviously out for this event but I'm so doing it the next time. I'm encouraged and excited for this support group and participants. Can it be any more fun? Good luck to everyone!

We couldn't get the Boardwalk when we booked so we waitlisted and yesterday got a confirmation email that our waitlist was approved for Boardwalk
