Welcome to Happy Friday, a self-indulgent post wherein I chat about a random Disney/running/theme park thing I love… usually. Today, we put a little twist on the format. Let’s talking about a Disney thing my dad loves! Enter: Fess Parker, or to call...

As a Disney enthusiast, you are no doubt aware that one of the potential spots for the newly announced Monsters Inc. door coaster is – gasp! – Muppets Courtyard, home of the seminal film “MuppetVision 3D.” This would be a HUGE LOSS. Which is why we will be focusing on the Muppets in this edition of Happy Friday, my...

I haven’t done a Happy Friday post in awhile, so a quick review: Happy Friday is just what it sounds like. Fridays are happy days, so I post something that makes me happy. And the “Sheriff Piglet” episode of “The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh” has made me happy for decades. POOH HAS MUCH TO OFFER ADULTS I...

Fun fact about me: I love standup comedy! If I’m surfing Netflix, the first place I’ll look is the standup category. That or the horror section. I’m a complicated person. Anyway – a couple weeks ago I happened upon this guy Jordan Conley, who himself happened to mention Disney in his set. This in of itself is not a...

I’ve said it many times before: unfortunately, I’m not all that big on virtual races. Whenever a runDisney race has been cancelled of late, I’ve always taken the refund rather than switch to the virtual version.
