Hi friends! I’m heading to Walt Disney World for the weekend to check out the Christmas decorations, see the Candlelight Processional with Trace Adkins (I’ve met him! Check my Instagram!), and of course, see Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

This means I’m taking the weekend off (!) from running and posting my Sunday training update, but stay tuned for Monday’s runDisney news recap.

Be sure to follow along on my Instagram to see what I’m up to this weekend. Hope you all have magical weekends lined up too! Talk to you again soon.

Will Run for Disney’s October Trip to Walt Disney World

November 2 , 2017 2 Comments

Hi Friends!

As I mentioned in my last post, Tommy and I just got back from our Halloween/late October trip to Walt Disney World! Last year after the Wine & Dine Half Marathon we vowed to take a fall trip this year in order to experience Halloween and go to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. While I consider myself a WDW expert, I had never actually attended the halloween festivities before (and had to change that ASAP!) Here’s a highlight reel of our adventures with pictures:

I’m back from WDW!

Hi everyone!

I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to write-up a weekly training update or a runDisney news update. But I hope you were following along on my Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr because I was in the most magical place on earth – Walt Disney World Resort, of course! We took our time celebrating Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival and it’s 35th anniversary, exploring the new Pandora – World of Avatar, and of course, capping off our trip with Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party on Halloween night! It was a magical trip. I’ll do a quick write-up and share some photos in my next post.

In the meantime, stay tuned for this Sunday and Monday when I’ll be back on schedule! For those running this weekend’s Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend races, go get ’em!

Keep calm and run first, wine later! 🙂

Well, friends, the weekend is here: the D23 Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center in Californa (right near Disneyland!)

There has been plenty of buildup, and rumors have been swirling for months now. Information will FINALLY be revealed about the future of certain attractions at the Walt Disney World Resort, including the future of Epcot.

I don’t know about you, but I am excited, nervous, and looking forward to tuning in to see what happens!

Here’s the schedule for the weekend:

Whistle While You Work: Top 5 Hollywood Studios Music Tracks to Get You Through the Day

June 4 , 2017 No Comments

Okay, so I know I was going to post about Animal Kingdom next, but Tommy reminded me that I was not going in chronological order. So to be a true Disney fan, I’m going ahead with sharing my Top 5 Hollywood Studios tracks. It will always be MGM to me!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is undergoing a bit of an identity crisis at the moment, with many of its original areas and attractions lost and gone forever to make way for New Age Hollywood Studios. I have high hopes for Toy Story Land and Star Wars Land but a part of me will mourn Streets of America, Catastrophe Canyon, and Honey I Shrunk the Kids: Movie Set Adventure. RIP WDW of my youth.
