WDW 2014 Marathon Weekend – Inaugural Dopey Challenge, Part 2

January 10, 2014 by Laura Gilbreath

One race down, three to go. Of course it was the easiest of the four, and we still have 45.7 miles to go. But it’s nice to have one of them done! We had never run the WDW 5K before. It’s a MUCH smaller race, and a whole lot more pleasant! With the influx of … Continue reading "WDW 2014 Marathon Weekend – Inaugural Dopey Challenge, Part 2"

November 19, 2013 by Debra Martin Koma

Even though I was just in Walt Disney World at the end of September for the opening of the Food and Wine Festival, I had the chance to sneak back down there again for a few days last week, so I jumped on it! While there, I realized that there were many things that have … Continue reading "Theme Park Snapshots: November 11-13, 2013, Part I"

September 10, 2013 by Laura Gilbreath

Believe it or not, we did things OTHER than run for the three+ days we were in Anaheim over Labor Day weekend. 🙂 Here’s some highlights. We stayed at the DVC Villas at the Grand Californian.

Let Disneyland Entertain You!

July 30, 2013 by Laura Gilbreath

I think a lot of people go to Disneyland for the rides and the attractions, and never realize all of the entertainment options that are also available! Lee and I, along with Jason (disneygeek) spent a summer day at Disneyland recently where instead of running from attraction to attraction, we went from live show to live show, and managed to fill an entire day. And we had a great time.

On the Move: Aulani Disney Resort

June 5, 2013 by Jeanine Yamanaka

So it happened to come about that I traveled around a bit back in April. I started off with a one-way ticket to Hawaii that I had to use before it expired, and then somehow the whole thing expanded to include the Tokyo Disney Resort, Walt Disney World, and the Disney Fantasy. Because various members … Continue reading "On the Move: Aulani Disney Resort"

2013 Marathon Weekend – Part 3 – Marathon

January 15, 2013 by Laura Gilbreath

We did it! The 2013 Goofy Challenge, and the 20th Walt Disney World Marathon! Though Sunday wasn’t quite as hot as they thought it might be (81 instead of 84) it was still a tough day to be running 26.2 miles. Very humid, too, and sunny, without the clouds I was hoping for, which just … Continue reading "2013 Marathon Weekend – Part 3 – Marathon"

2013 Marathon Weekend – Part 1

January 12, 2013 by Laura Gilbreath

*** Update – we finished this morning’s half marathon in 2:32:58! Faster than we had planned, but we only stopped for one character photo because the lines were so long. We feel good – now we’re resting up for tomorrow. We arrived in Orlando Thursday evening and headed straight to the Expo from the airport. … Continue reading "2013 Marathon Weekend – Part 1"
