Q. How many trips to WDW in a year are too many? A. … What? I am, as always, very ready to go home. My Springtime Surprise race registration was a total impulse buy, but then what is it the kids say? Is it carpe diem? Is it YOLO? Could it be yo, carpe diem? Have they moved on...

Hello and welcome back to another edition of What I’m Going To Wear To Walt Disney World! Last time I posted my trip wardrobe after I got home, and while it was due to extenuating circumstances I considered doing the same for this trip. However, an informal Instagram poll seemed to indicate that you guys prefer it before. And...

Oh, dear little Rabbit Run! I now feel a strange affection for this unassuming 5K race. It was as sincere as Linus’s pumpkin patch, and what it got for its efforts was a great big smack across the face from Old Man Weather. Is Old Man Weather a thing? Whatever; what I’m trying to say is RAAAAIN. Or, in...

My Thoughts While Watching posts are all about reacting to old Disney media with new eyes, so by now, I’m sure you’re used to my vintage video finds. But this time, are you ready to go waaay vintage? Good, because today’s series entry is what is known in the bygone parlance as a humdinger. Remember that scene in 101...

It’s almost time! It’s almost time! It’s almost time for this year’s runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend, and I am pumped. This year’s races are themed to Pixar movies, which is as noble a selection as one could hope for. In honor of this auspicious choice, I decided to ask the hard question, namely: which Pixar movie is my favorite...

Happy last day of WDW50! Personally I found the protracted, alleged 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World (okay, the Magic Kingdom really) was celebrated… barely at all, really. So I’m not that broken up about it. But it does get me to thinking… I am not a parent. I never worked as a babysitter and have held a baby...

Okay, so you know that against my better judgment, I signed up for the Two Course Challenge last week. And you know I ran every runDisney race weekend last year, thanks to my COVID-era race registration strategy. You probably also know that all this racing is not conducive to saving money, something I was kinda hoping to do this...

Dangit, runDisney, you got me again! Despite my self-avowed wariness of challenges (which I have admittedly reneged on a lot), and despite my desire to save a little money for other things, runDisney just had to do it to me: for 2023, the Two Course Challenge is themed to FIGMENT. Figment!! I love Figment!!!!! Which is how, stupidly, I...

Remember my classical music running playlist? I had a great time putting that together – fresh music can be so clutch to combat training burnout, so it’s awesome to tap into a different genre from the norm. With that in mind, I’m doing it again, but this time we’re working in a new niche: the old school Hollywood musical....

I only have one day in Epcot for this year’s Flower & Garden Festival, so you know what would make the most sense? Dialing it back a little. Making modest plans. Assembling a to-eat list that’s a bit more restrained, a bit more curated. Yeah. That would be good. It would be good, but I’m not doing it –...
