Congratulations to everyone!!!!!

We missed the first check-point and were out at 2:30. Forgetting to get the guides at the gate and a mistake on my part cost us precious time.

I'm sorry I missed everyone at the cememoney. I wasn't feeling well and headed home in search of a back rub and my bed.

Big congratulations!
CP, I promise I won't be bored - I want to hear every detail.
I've never experienced MA, but the stories from the participants make me feel like it's a crucial part of the DL experience, like POTC or Space Mountain.

Bring on the tales!

Perhaps GD wants to do some posting on this - I feel bad doing the entire run down before he even shows up here. I think he went back to bed. He called in sick but I came in for my half day, which involves very few classes, hence the long posts. I can't emphasize enough how badly all this walking affected our bodies.

GD, wake up and post!

Heh. I was wondering why he wasn't on IM yet...

I wonder who else called in sick. I took a vacation day and it's a good thing I did since I went to bed about 8:30pm and woke up at 9:30am). I commend all of you who went to work today.

I took the day off, too. It was exhausting reading through all those news alerts regarding Iger, and the tension of waiting for the results to MA took it's toll as well.

Seriously, though- wtg! Keep on posting, CP- I've never been to an MA and I like to read what it's like.

Congratulations GD and CP!! I saw AVP's post on MP last night and was really happy for you both.

And thanks for the play by play. Having never played in one of these I love reading the reports afterwards. It sounds like a blast, and I hear the Amazing Race theme music in my head as I read them.

My most heartfelt congratulations go out to the Happy Haunts for their third First Place Win! Way to go!

Also, so many of the top finishing invitational teams were *soooo* close in finishing times -- truly amazing there are so many really smart people who know their Disneyland!

My whole body is aching; everytime I swear I'm going to put in for the Monday off from work afterwards and I never do. Owwie. And my voice is gone; for some reason I always get assigned to all the talking duties during MA.

Thank god I ran Leg #5 (Evil Lyrics) -- it was one of the few chances I got to chat with everyone as the day wore on.

I was truly impressed with all the teams who hung in there; the first few quests of the Invitational were the hardest and the most humbling part of the competition.

Big hugs for all!
