Looks like you have the essentials-magic band, ears, and a new cute pair of shoes. Can’t wait to hear about your adventures!! Wish I was packing for Disney right now!
I did the Princess and Wine & Dine last year. I’ve already talked some of my friends into considering the Wine & Dine half (or maybe even the challenge) for this year as well.
Yep we are doing the Star Wars half. I’m not a huge Star Wars fan (don’t hate me!) but after doing two 10Ks last year with runDisney I think I’m ready to step it up.
A little late joining in but definitely following along! So glad that you were able to get back to POFQ (it is probably my favorite of the moderates also) but it is really unfortunate that the CM behaved like that to you!
I’ll miss being there at the same time as y’all by a few days-my...
After running my first two races ever this year, I can add myself to the thread.
2017 Princess 10K
2017 Wine and Dine 10K
Total: 12.4 miles
Next up for me-my first half marathon in April (Dark Side)
This runDisney thing is a little addictive!
Sorry I went away for awhile-life got a little busy. I'm back to finish off my trip report before I head back down to WDW this weekend for the Wine & Dine 10K.

I checked out of my hotel in Ft Lauderdale and got on the road for Orlando. I didn't have any solid plans for...
One of my friends who lived in Paris for a year recommended the restaurant I went to: Pottoka. It is a small restaurant kind of near the Eiffel Tower. They had a prix fixe menu for 37 euros for an appetizer, entree, and dessert which I thought was a pretty good price.
I started with a crispy...

My last full day I slept in a little bit. I was pretty tired after spending the whole day before at DLP. My plan for today was something else I had never done on previous visits to Paris-take a day trip to Monet's house and gardens in Giverny. It is not very difficult to...
It really is a gorgeous park!! I loved seeing a different Disney park-now I think I will have to visit all of them! The Halloween and Christmas ears are my favorite-they had some really cute Christmas ears at DLP but I decided to just go with the anniversary ears.
The end of my day at DLP:
I ended up hopping back over to Walt Disney Studios to ride the last ride I wanted to get to at that park-Rock N Rollercoaster. I love this ride at Hollywood Studios, unless I get stuck in the back of the car (it is too rough a ride for me in the back and I usually end...
After the parade, I stopped at the ice cream parlor. What is a birthday without ice cream?
I strolled through the castle and visited the dungeon underneath the see the dragon of the castle. Pretty unique for Disney castles as far as I know!
The second floor of the castle has stained glass...
After checking out Ratatouille, I picked up some lunch at the food booths. I went with a raclette cheese and cured ham sandwich, croustade d'escargot, and a glass of wine.
SO yummy-it was a fun birthday lunch! Also there were a lot more tables to eat at compared to Food and Wine Festival-no...
September 19-cont.
I left off heading to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad to pick up a fast pass.
By the time I found my way over there the park had been open for about 10 minutes. The fast pass return times were already almost 1pm! These fast passes go early in the morning for anyone who...
I know a decent amount of French from school and I have been brushing up on it over the past few years. The cast members at DLP are required to speak 2 languages I read somewhere and the majority speak English as their second language. It was very easy to get around because so many of the cast...
September 19, 2017-My Birthday!!
I love Disney birthdays, so what better place to spend my birthday than Disneyland Paris! Because I was staying in Paris, I couldn't do EMH so I needed to maximize my time at the parks. Therefore I decided not to do any table service meals (as much as I wanted...

This is my last non-Disney post I promise. My flight landed at Charles de Gaulle at 2pm and I spent the next 2 hours getting through customs and using the metro to get into the city. I stayed at a small boutique hotel-the Hotel de Seze on the Rue de Seze which was very close...
September 17, 2017 Cont.
I left off heading to dinner at Disney Springs. I wanted to try a new restaurant tonight so I parked in the Orange garage and proceeded to...Bongos Cuban Cafe! I love Cuban food so this seemed like a win to me. I started with bacon wrapped maduros (sweet plantains)...

I started the first full day of my trip with plans to spend the day at Universal to get some use out of my AP and butterbeer was calling my name! I packed up first and checked out of the hotel and then took the boat to the parks. I started at Universal Studios since it was...
