The trip report proper is over, but we’re not done yet – I’ve still got lots of thoughts, including food reviews and photos! You can see all the posts in this report here. Onward! Pat and I have now stayed at Port Orleans Riverside twice. We are unlikely to do so again. Oh, I’m being histrionic – but the gist...

I think the point of this post is supposed to be that Mulan can be unexpectedly narcissistic, or Disney fans are really good at lyrical crossovers, or something? But my only immediate takeaway was that there is a Mulan character breakfast somewhere out there and I need to find out where immediately. (Turns out she’s part of the new...

I have an idea. I don’t know if it’s a feasible idea or even a necessary idea, but I figured I’d do a little spitballing here, see what people thought. So: People often have to get up early in the morning for races. Temperatures tend to be colder then. Even if no great temperature shift is expected, people run...

In case you’d like to take a crack at this somewhat unique experience yourself, here are some notes: ABOUT...

And now for another story about how booking a WDW resort room can be unnecessarily confusing. But we persevere. A WDW RESORT DISCOUNT CODE (BUT NOT FOR ME) A couple weeks ago I scored the big one: an email from Disney containing a unique offer code that would net me a discount on Walt Disney World resort rooms. Sweet!...

If your regularly running trail is riddled with changes in altitude and terrain, perhaps your mind, too, wanders back to happy memories of runDisney races. Specifically: the flatness of Florida. How easy it is to run in Florida! So level! So devoid of hills! How glorious it would be to clock all your training there, perhaps lacking in challenges...

Is it with a heavy heart that I must remind you all that I will not be attending this year’s Food & Wine Festival in Epcot. There will be no Wine & Dine Half Marathon for me. Yes, it was a great three years, pouring rain and curtailed courses and all. But I chose to run the Dark Side Half...
