    Epcot's 40th Anniversary

    As disappointing as no fireworks tag was, I had to say I was relieved to not “have” to stay for Hummus. 😂 Thank you for giving us advance notice! Between the Beacons and the original BGM, the entrance was the place to be this evening.

    Epcot 40 Fan Meet-Up

    @marni1971 I saw you in line at LwtL this morning, but you were too far away to say hi! It was so great to see you, even from afar. I’m sorry I missed the meetup, my daughter had other plans and we ended up on the other side of the park, haha! Looks like a fun time!

    Epcot's 40th Anniversary

    I was talking to someone earlier who said they only made 250. 😳 She was told to complain at GR, who was “well aware of the situation.” I saw people leaving the building with them around 9:30, so I guess they lasted about that long.

    Epcot's 40th Anniversary

    Vintage EPCOT Center’s visuals were all about rainbows - especially in the merchandise. Granted, they’ve added quite a few more hues to the gradient with the added pavilions. Personally, I’ll always prefer the 80s graphics/color palettes, but you’re acting like this is something brand new. 😂 I...

    Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    I think my soul left my body for a moment. 😂 I was literally screaming at my phone, “don’t do this to me Josh!” I guess this um… “news?” is better than an Inside Out redo Blue Sky announcement from Jennifer Lee.

    News H2O+ products shutting down???

    Please, no more MLMs in the parks/resorts. It’s bad enough they have/had partnerships with them through products their “consultants” sell and the Scentsy display at F&G.

    Epcot 40 Fan Meet-Up

    I will definitely be there in some capacity on the 1st, but I’m afraid to commit to anything definite. It’ll be me, my parents, my husband, and my daughter (her first Epcot anniversary celebration!). I’d love to be there most of the day, but I’m sure at least my husband will bail and head home...

    runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend

    Star Wars hardly sold out either - I think in 2019 (its last year), you could still register at the Expo. runDisney hype goes in waves, and I think the post-pandemic world created a very unique situation. I think it’s great that a race has availability for at least a few days after registration...

    Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend

    Um, I love the half medal so much! These totally make up for the lackluster W&D designs. I just hope the paint holds. 🤞

    runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend

    Oh yes, that too, for sure! Like the humidity during this year’s 10K that was so thick, I swear you could have cut it with a knife. I’m used to running in FL, but that was intense! Throw in the forecast of storms all weekend, the shortened 5K, it was a fun time! Haha! I remember the Star Wars...

    runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend

    I know there was a lot of chatter in the FB groups that it’s too close to Easter/spring break so it’d be taking extra time off work/school. Plus there are a lot of other races during that time period (I saw someone debating RnR Nashville and Springtime Surprise, for example). This has always...

    runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend

    Just a heads up - if you’re looking to support a charity for this race weekend, many have already opened registrations. I’ve personally seen posts by GKTW, Girls on the Run, and ACS but I’m sure there are more as contracts are being finalized. I decided to support ACS this time around (because...

    Epcot's 40th Anniversary

    Right?! That original planning thread was my reason for joining these boards. I hadn’t yet met my husband at that point, but he would have thought I was a wacko too. 😂 Thankfully my mom was totally game for all the crazy fun. I also don’t want to believe it’s been 15 years - where has the time...

    Epcot's 40th Anniversary

    Oh gosh, the deluge - I think we were around the African Outpost when it started? “Do you feel raindrops?” *Floodgates from above pour down instantly* 😂 I feel like I might have been one of the ones to plant the idea early on in the planning stages of sticking around for the burn-off, I...

    Epcot's 40th Anniversary

    My mom and I still refer to the 25th as our favorite Disney memory, and just one of our best days ever. We were one of the first to arrive at the park that morning, and were amongst the “Inferno Barge Burn-Off Sing-Along” group to be escorted out well after closing. It was a long, but absolutely...

    runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend

    All 3, I believe, since it’s still 19.3 on the graphic and the 5K will cover the missing 3.1 miles from the 10-miler.

    News Disney Vacation Club billboard wrapped in scaffolding for refurbishment

    My memory is fuzzy, so I’m more than welcome for someone to tell me I’m wrong, but I seem to recall it being built in secret around fall/winter 2005. It was wrapped up like a present with a teased unveiling (typical huge fanfare for little payoff) and I think that happened around early/spring 2006?

    News Disney Vacation Club billboard wrapped in scaffolding for refurbishment

    This one is positioned at the intersection in such a way that you would directly face it as you were leaving the Bonnet Creek resorts. The idea, as I always understood it, was that after you sat through a timeshare presentation at one of those non-Disney resorts, and you’re waiting at the light...
