    LOL! Exactly why my parents (and aunt/uncle) put my cousins and I in the Mouseketeer Club while they went upstairs circa 1981! But I do remember my parents getting very dressed up for this show back in the day (jackets/blazers and dresses).

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    Hi everyone - well, 2 (almost 3) weeks later and I'm finally getting to posting about my W&D experience! Once again - I ran with Sparrow's Nest (my employer and one of the charities selected for the race). It was our 3rd year running this race and proud to say that aside from Home for Our...

    Most nostalgic for you?

    Me as well - I always make it a point to visit the Contemporary, even if it's just a monorail ride through it. It was the hotel that we stayed at on my 1st trip back in 1977 and I'm still in awe of it. I also love viewing it from the WL boat to the MK.

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    I'm sorry - I know how you feel as I'm absolutely upset with my corral placement (I'm running with a team of 110 for charity and there are members who didn't even submit POT or are walking and placed in higher corrals than me). I just called the runDisney/TrackShack events number and left a...

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    Well, looks like a LOT of road time which his its pros and cons. I expected the Studios to be completely out of the course this year. So far from what I see....Pros: hopefully (fingers crossed) less congested vs the 2 person wide section after exiting the Studios Cons: I'm seeing around Mile 7...

    So just how long have you been going to Disney World?

    Since 1977 (I was 4 years old and stayed at Contemporary - all I remember from that trip was how cool the Fiesta Fun Center was)!
