What do you Enjoy Most About Running Disney Races?
I haven’t had a lot of experience with Disney races but what I enjoyed most about the ones I have done are seeing the characters and everyone cheering for you. It is really a fun time and spoils you for other races.

Why Did You Join Team AllEars?
I joined for two reasons. First, is in honor of my grandmother, who past away 16 years ago from breast and ovarian cancer. The second is my love of Disney. It was my grandmother who passed on that love of Disney. She and my grandfather always said that Disney knows how to do things right. I have a lot of memories of seeing Disney movies in my pajamas at the drive-in theater in the back of my grandparents station wagon. 🙂 Last year was my first year on the team and I loved it. So glad to be back again this year.

What Is Your Favorite Disney Attraction or Restaurant and Why?
My favorite Disney attraction is It’s a Small World. It is the one ride I have to go on every trip. It is a classic and I still enjoy it every time. And yes, the song is my phone ringtone.
