So... are YOU up for the challenge? Are you going to run? Are you coming just to cheer?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lou & Deanna Mongello ........ ???? ................ ?????

For more information, visit Disney's official Expedition Everest Challenge page

THE COURSE: MYSTERIOUS
Race through the dark, exotic terrain of Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park on a thrilling 5K trek in the shadows of the Forbidden Mountain.

THE OBSTACLES: INTENSE
The adrenaline is pumping and the anticipation builds as teams (trekkers) prepare for their expedition. Surprises along the way may pose as obstacles on the team's trek.

THE SEARCH: LEGENDARY
There are plenty of clues to lead them on their journey, but only a few will escape the Yeti, known as the abominable snowman! The team needs to earn all of the stamps in their Expedition Passport to conquer the challenge.

THE REWARD: FUN
Then the real excitement begins as the teams celebrate their finish at an exclusive after-hours party at Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park
If you have what it takes to conquer this challenge, then find a teammate and join the trek! The challenge and the party will be twice as much fun! If no one will brave the Yeti with you, then sign up for the solo trek!
Each participant in theExpedition Everest™ Challenge will receive:

1-day/1-park Theme Park Ticket
Champion® Tech Shirt
Admission to an Exclusive After-Hours Party at Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park

I fixed it. Lou's old, he can't see properly.

**Lou Mongello** · 02-20-2009, 10:03 AM

No... get it right! I'm old AND senile

Thanks for fixing that for me.

Hey that's my birthday! Hmm...now how to get down there for a 4 day weekend and return a month later.

Kungaloosh!

Kevbot · 03-03-2009, 02:29 PM

I have already begun booking.

You just made my friend's birthday in Disney SO MUCH BETTER.

joanna71985 · 03-03-2009, 08:58 PM

I'm going to be in FL at the time. Is there anything you have to do specially? Or do you just show up?

joanna71985 · 03-03-2009, 09:04 PM

When does the registration open for the marathon? I will be there at the time, and I would like to sign up for it.

Lou, you made my day! This has been a very long winter with many challenges. The past few weeks I have been spending a good deal of time dreaming of ways to make my annual fall trip special.

I was just wondering if any of my WDW Radio friends would be doing the EEC again this year. I just sent off my request for quote to mousefantravel. My fingers are crossed that I can swing a few days at AKL (I'm already booked at Scopa Towers from 9/26 to 10/10).

Count me in...10000%! Kungaloosh!!
