Normally this closes very fast since Choc as grown so huge over the past couple of years. If you can't walk but would like to donate, I am going to be walking with the Disney volunteers. If you would like to donate, go under https://www.chocforms.org/chocwalk/2008/sponsor.cfm choose "sponsor a registered walker" and type in lesmisfan. thanks for all your help and support and hope to see my fellow Lpers there again this year

Althought we don't raise money just to get the prizes, this might be a good incentive for those of you folks who just can't decide whether to participate this year or not. The lower registration fee is a great way to get more of you LP folks interested! Get up from that computer for one Sunday - let's WALK FOR CHOC!!!! Woo Hoo!!

Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS Hi MM, The walk starts usually at 7:30 am, but we usually get there at about 6am. First you walk the entire circumference of DL, then throught the esplaunade (sp), then you walk the circumference of DCA, then you walk to the end of DTD, where a nice young man talks to you over the loudspeaker and says "CONGRATULATIONS! YOU MADE IT" and then cheerleaders rah rah rah for you and then you can either leave, or you can stay and get free snacks from Mimi's or freebies from all of the sponsors. You can be done walking by 9-9:30 if you don't dauddle around like we do to take pictures with all of the DL characters that greet you along the route. It is a great cause and is tons of fun because lots of LPers do it so it's like a great big family.

LOL!!! ( he's always like dl, but just once a year)

Originally Posted By poohbear14 I'm gonna do it too! But I thought they INCREASED the registration fee. Wasn't it $25 for a walk wristband last year? (checked my cc stmt). <<<First you walk the entire circumference of DL, then throught the esplaunade (sp), then you walk the circumference of DCA, then you walk to the end of DTD...>>> Actually, you park in the Mickey and Friends parking structure and walk the tram route to the Esplanade. This counts as part of your walk. Bring your cameras! The characters will be out!

Originally Posted By LuLu It was soooo fun when all the LPers walked together a few years ago. I'll have to do this again, maybe next year. Someone let me know as soon as the date is known for next year so I can try to snag a HoJo's room at a good rate! Do they still offer a reduced admission price to DL for walkers?
Originally Posted By poohbear14 ^^I don't remember if they offered reduced admission last year. But you can get a free milkshake at Chick-fil-A with your wristband. :-D <a href="http://www.chocwalk.org/pages.cfm?id=87" target="_blank">http://www.chocwalk.org/pages.cfm?id=87</a>
