    Surprising kids with a trip

    We did a scavenger hunt with clues about Disney with the final prize being an announcement of the trip itself.

    Character breakfasts...

    Yes, and you can't beat the Mad Hatter for fun. Plus, Park Fare's breakfast has their famous strawberry soup which I don't think you can get elsewhere.

    I'll bet you could contact them to get one just as a remembrance.

    Planning First Trip In December

    I strongly recommend that you pick up the Unauthorized Guide to WDW and do some reading. It will educate you on what is in each park as far as rides and food, things like FP+ (essential to book at that time to year), Photopass, Extra Magic Hours (only if you stay on property or an affiliated...

    Getting value from QS dining plan

    I agree that it is probably worth it to pay the upgrade to the regular DDP. Then you can get a bunch of buffet table service meals which it sounds like you want. As for water, the reason you don't want to waste your money on it is because you can get a free cup of cold water by walking into...

    I hope you feel better as well. As for me, 7m outdoors Sunday morning. 4m planned for later today on the TM.

    Resort Help Please!

    We love POR. In addition to what others have said about it, you have the ferry direct to Disney Springs which is wonderful. Plus a quick walk to POFQ for beignets. Plus Yehaa Bob at the Riverside Roost Lounge. Stay put unless you have to be on the monorail line to the MK.

    What did you do?

    Sorry I keep going MIA these days. But I'm still here and running. Did my annual longer-than-usual run on New Years Day - 10 miles around the lake. Felt good despite the ongoing inner hip and groin pain which I just deal with these days. Slowing my pace on the hills helps. I no longer care...

    Club runDisney is a new membership program offering benefits at runDisney events

    I'm glad to see others find this offer as insane as I did.

    What did you do?

    I believe that what is now called Lady Bird Lake used to be called Town Lake, so yes. The 3 mile route is quite flat, but the longer routes do have some rolling areas as well as the high bridges you have to cross if you want to do a loop. The ramp up the bridge at Route 35 is really steep. I...

    What did you do?

    Been MIA lately, I know, but still hanging in there. Found a slightly less hilly route for my weekend runs of 7-8 miles, but there's no getting away from the hills in my neighborhood which continues to really hurt my hip adductor. Sticking to one short neighborhood run (~3.5 miles), one TM run...

    Why is WDW so stressful, expensiv and overcrowded these days? The fear of dissapointment from a 2020-First-Timer

    I haven't read the other responses, but here's what I will say. 1-Research and plan. 2-Arrive early at the parks to avoid crowds (don't sleep in everyday). 3-Set reasonable expectations. Do those three things and you will have a wonderful time. Why would you go on a vacation that you are...

    What did you do?

    Weather has been delightful lately, but instead of getting acclimated to these Hill Country hills, they seem to be damaging my body. I get pain in my lower back going uphill (even just walking the dog) and pain in my pelvis (researched it and I believe it's the hip adductor muscle) going...

    What did you do?

    6m on Saturday around the big lake. 3.7m today around the neighborhood. I'm glad I squeezed in a lunch time run before the cold front came in because now the wind is so strong and loud that it sounds like a hurricane out there!

    What did you do?

    8 on Saturday around the lake, 4m Monday on the TM, and 3.85 this morning in the glorious 65 degree weather.

    Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

    Great race report and great pics! How did you manage to look so fresh in all the running shots? I always look half dead in those shots. LOL. Congrats on the PB.

    Hardest part of planning?

    Planning is almost as much fun as going! Almost. There are stressful moments on FP+ selection day and ADR booking day, but I love the planning process.

    That snap you heard? My camel's back is breaking!

    This is why I always try to book during free dining. We don't care about staying in deluxe resorts so the percentage discounts aren't huge for us.
