Dining Review: River Belle Terrace

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Earlier this year the River Belle Terrace restaurant in Frontierland was converted from a counter service restaurant to a table service restaurant. As a counter service restaurant breakfast service was offered in addition to a lunch/dinner menu, while the table service restaurant is only open for lunch and dinner. Recently we had the opportunity to try dinner at River Belle Terrace.

2016 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend – Part 3, The Food

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I’d say that we didn’t eat like pixies this weekend…except that I really don’t know what pixies eat! 🙂 Thursday evening after the Expo we visited one of our favorites: Earl of Sandwich. Even when it’s busy the lines are never as long as they are at the one in Florida. I had my favorite … Continue reading "2016 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend – Part 3, The Food"

Disneyland and DCA – New Attractions and Shows

On our recent trip I had the opportunity to experience some new shows and attractions that have recently opened. I say “new”, but two of them were actually updates of existing attractions that just came out of lengthy refurbishments. The first is the Jungle Cruise, which just re-opened on May 6. The biggest change was … Continue reading "Disneyland and DCA – New Attractions and Shows"

Saturday, May 7 – 10K We didn’t run the 10K this year – the first Tinker Bell 10K we’ve skipped. It felt strange not to be running it, but it was very nice to sleep in! As we made our way to Disneyland for Extra Magic Hour we crossed the race course very close to … Continue reading "2016 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend – Part 2"

2016 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend – Part 1

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
It’s Tinker Bell Half Marathon weekend at Disneyland again. This time around we decided to run the 5K and the half marathon rather than doing the 10K/Half Marathon Challenge. Many people have told us that it’s the best 5K Disney offers, and we wanted to try it for ourselves. And I was very disappointed in … Continue reading "2016 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend – Part 1"

2016 WDW Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend – Part 3 – The Food

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
What’s a Disney race weekend without the opportunity to enjoy a little food? And some adult beverages, too. 🙂 One of the things I was looking forward to on this trip was the opportunity to sample foods from the food booths at Epcot’s Flower and Garden (aka mini Food and Wine) Festival. Lee and I … Continue reading "2016 WDW Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend – Part 3 – The Food"

2016 WDW Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend – Part 2

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… Sunday, April 17 – Half Marathon The half marathon was scheduled to start at 5:00, rather than the usual 5:30. Even though we knew that, the alarm going off at 2:15 was still a shock. The buses started running at 2:30, but we were driving, … Continue reading "2016 WDW Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend – Part 2"
