Mini trip report time! I’m covering my quick weekend trip for the WDW Marathon. To read all the posts in this report, click here. I arrived back at Pop just after noon, which gave me a little under an hour to do my shower thing and get out per the late check out rules. I ate a couple snacks,...

Mini trip report time! I’m covering my quick weekend trip for the WDW Marathon. To read all the posts in this report, click here. Did I dream it? Did I dream that I dreamed it? In either case, I sat bolt upright in bed. Had I slept through my alarm and missed the WDW Marathon??? 2:48am. Whew! Also: damn....

And now for the Briefest Trip Report Of All! I began my whirlwind marathon weekend with a 7am flight. The airport was uncharacteristically empty, and since I didn’t need to check any bags I waltzed through security and had a Jamba Juice smoothie in hand in short order. My flight took off early, but landed half an hour late...

I have made a poor show of things – I haven’t written up anything about my marathon trip. I will. I promise I will. Soon! In the meantime, I just want to say this: Flying down, grabbing your bib, running the race, flying home? TOTALLY WORTH IT. They say every mile is magic. This is a lie. Miles 15...

On this day last year I was headed to WDW for the Dopey Challenge. I can’t say my heart isn’t breaking over the fact that I am not doing the same this year, but it helps to know that the horizon isn’t entirely barren: I am doing the marathon on its own! As I mentioned before, this thirtieth-birthday-present-to-myself is...

I am nothing if not chock full of integrity, however, so you can be sure that the following thoughts are devoid of bias. You can...

Hi there! Jenn here. I considered throwing another Disney Christmas carol at you for our final Happy Friday of the year. After all, it would be thematically appropriate in more ways than one. Instead, my heart won out over my head, and I am presenting you with a video that is unrelated to Disney, running, or anything else directly...

Ever wonder what it looks like when you receive exactly one Magic Band? Well, it looks like that. C’mon, Disney. You could at least throw some Mickey confetti in there, cheer up us lonely hearts. (Although actually I’m super excited and it’s going to be a great race! Best self-birthday present ever!!!!) SEE YOU AT THE WDW MARATHON. HOPE...

The WDW Marathon corral placements came out this week. I was worried. See, I signed up late for the race. Like, unheard of late, for runDisney. So late that technically the proof of time submission deadline had passed. However, when filling out the form, I was still asked for a proof of time. And so the question became: would...

GUYS. I HAD ANOTHER RUNDISNEY NIGHTMARE. It started out innocuously enough. I was at next year’s Wine & Dine Half. I went to the expo. I loved, I laughed, I lived. Went to my hotel. Futzed around. It was 6pm. Suddenly I realized – I had left the expo without ever picking up my bib. I mean, who needs...
