I will be in Orlando during Wine & Dine Half Marathon Race Weekend. I will not be running a single race. I KNOW I CAN’T BELIEVE IT EITHER I ~ Okay. Deep breaths, self. I know it all feels so wrong. But there is a very good reason for all of this. You skipped Wine & Dine this year...

My fellow runDisney enthusiasts, are you ready to have your minds blown? My first runDisney race – and in fact my first race ever – was the 2013 Princess Half Marathon, which took place as it always has in late February. Would you like to know when I registered? NOVEMBER 11, 2012. NOVEMBER 11. REALLY. I just went to...

How can you write the first day of your trip report when you haven’t even left your house yet? The explanation is simple: I already know what’s gonna happen, and also, it’s gonna be some form of boring. See, I’m not leaving until mid-evening, so I won’t touch down in Orlando until the beginnings of night. (I’m trying to...

With apologies to Frank Herbert.* View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jenn@FairestRunOfAll (@fairestrunofall) I must not fear forgetting to pack something. Fear of forgetting to pack something is the mind-killer. Fear of forgetting to pack something is the little-death that makes you check your suitcase for the same item 87 times because you can’t actively see...

Great news, runDisney buddies! Per last year’s near miss where I almost had to skip the WDW Marathon, I now suffer from a new terror that even eclipses the dreaded Did Not Wake Up On Time paraoia that historically dominated the field. It is this: what if I get sick with COVID and can’t make the marathon?!...

I know! I can hardly believe it either! But it’s true: I’m already on my way back to WDW for the week. Which is crazy, because I’m not even halfway through my most recent trip report yet. You catch me at the very point of decadence! Here’s the thing, though – I will NOT be doing a trip report...

It’s Walt Disney World time again and let me tell you: it. NEVER. Gets. Old. Never. Wine & Dine race weekend ahoy! Once again, I approach this trip with some mild trepidation, as my right ankle has been acting up a bit. With a 10K and a half on the horizon, I’ll need to take it easy. But I’m...

Hello and welcome back to another pre-Disney wardrobe rundown! If nothing else, it helps me assemble my packing list. Also back: my terrible photos. I swear, every time I go to shoot these pictures the weather conspires to make my already sketchy lighting conditions ABYSMAL. It was overcast the whole frickin’ time. Well, you can still get the idea....

Read my latest screed on why you don’t need Club runDisney here! Raise your hand if runDisney race registration stresses you out. Everybody? We all raised our hands? Yeah, I figured as much. Heck, I’m planning a Dopey 2025 run – which you may notice is more than a year away – and I’m already a little freaked out...

Nothing is certain except death, taxes, and the fact that My Disney Experience is a glitchy, glitchy, GLITCHY app. I recently shared a dining reservation hack for when eligible dining reservation dates aren’t showing up properly, and today I’ve got another one for you! Are you planning a Walt Disney World vacation with a group that spans multiple parties?...
