    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    After seeing the photos on FB and Instagram, I’m sticking with my decision to go on Saturday. I never pick up merch anymore, so I’m just looking to grab my bib and shirt and get out with minimal effort. It’s great to see “nature healing”, as they say, but I don’t need to fight those crowds. In...

    runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend

    Haha, the optional obstacles! I remember they had they large nets you had to crawl under, and my husband and I looked at each other and went, “no way!” And walked around them. 😂 More power to the people who actually did it, but yeah… I’ll be curious to see how the scavenger hunt portion works...

    runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend

    I’ve never done a multi-day rD challenge event before, but I’m really really tempted by this one! I have my Endurance Series challenge medal from 2009 for the same 3 events, I kinda want this one too. Just wish the prices were throwbacks as well! 😂

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    Thank you! Me too! We had a nasty cold make its rounds through the family a few weeks ago, and apparently it’s the gift that keeps on giving… 😬 Thank you, and I know! My timing is impeccable. I literally asked the doctor if she thought I’d be okay to run the half, and she said definitely. I...

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    Ended up in the ER this morning with a bad case of vertigo - turns out I have an ear infection. I had an 11 mile run scheduled for tomorrow, and as much as I hate to skip it (my last long run before the half), I definitely don’t want to risk falling or injuring myself. Im accident-prone enough...

    runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend

    The Go Red for Women 5K (part of the Minnie Marathon Weekend) was my very first Disney Endurance Series/runDisney event. That would be a fun throwback! I’d also love Tower to return - what a fun event! Everest, eh, wasn’t my favorite, but if it came back, I’d probably be swayed. 😂

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    Yeah, a lot of the content appeared broken when I first opened the page, but looks like more is displaying correctly now! I’m happy to see that the finish through Future World is more “back to normal”. Can’t wait to run past SSE again - that area, especially with the cheering Guests entering...

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    Saw a post on FB that the Ataxia-Telangiectasia A-T Children’s Project has a limited number of Half and Challenge bibs available. They usually just participate in the WDW Marathon Weekend events, but rD required them to purchase W&D/Princess charity bibs as well. No fundraising required, they’re...

    Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend

    Correct, race buses only pick up across from the Springs/Carriage House bus stop. That’d be quite a walk from the Wyndham. It’s already a pretty good distance if you’re staying in one of the Congress Park or Carousel buildings that are furthest away. But no, they don’t check to see if you’re...

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    Just had a memory pop up that 11 years ago yesterday was the start of the very first W&D Half. And early in the morning, 11 years ago today, I finished my very first half marathon. 😂 I’m glad they moved the timeline for the weekend back a month, for the sake of humidity levels. And while the...

    News The Electrical Water Pageant to resume performances at Walt Disney World

    Did the announcement really say “Disney’s Polynesian Resort & Spa”? Haha, oops! Otherwise, it looks great! I’m a huge fan of the EWP, and am always worried its remaining time with us is short (just look at Lights of Winter’s “obsolete technology” 🙄). I love the show so much, I recreated some...

    News Magic Kingdom's Main Street Confectionery closing for refurbishment

    You’re right, generic isn’t the right word. It just feels like the “go-to” flooring surface nowadays. I feel like it could easily read “Ale & Compass” and fit in at the Yacht Club instead.

    News Magic Kingdom's Main Street Confectionery closing for refurbishment

    I really miss the old floor. I know it’s silly to say that, but it really brought a lot of fun and whimsy to the space. I imagine the little tiles and grout were hard to keep clean, but the new flooring just seems bland and generic…

    I'm retiring from runDisney - for a great reason!

    Congratulations!! I saw someone post about the job listing on FB - sounds like a fantastic opportunity!

    Creations Shop opening this summer

    I thought it was strange that Zach never mentioned the artist’s name in his epically long description. According to Twitter, it’s Francisco Herrera (@herrerabox). Talented guy, but not really my thing.

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    Interesting! I don’t think GKTW offers room blocks (I don’t need one, so it’s quite possible I overlooked it), but I wonder if they’re waiting on something to send everything out at once. I might inquire later in the week.

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    Hopefully that means they’ll have the registration links available soon. I know it usually takes a while, but it’d be nice to have it “locked in.”
