One Month Until Dopey -Weekly Update

One month from today, I'll be kicking off the first leg of the Dopey Challenge with the WDW Marathon Weekend 5k. It's hard to believe that the first 3.1 miles of the challenge is only a month away. All that's left is the last few weeks of training and one more 20 miler. I can't wait to get the challenge started!

Monday: 5 miles
Tuesday: 7.3 miles
Wednesday: 10 miles
Thursday: 20 miles
Friday: 2.8 miles
Saturday: 5 miles
Sunday: REST DAY

This past week's 20 miler didn't go as well as the one a few weeks ago, but still wasn't as bad as it could have been. I wanted to quit at mile 9 and then again at mile 17. But I kept pushing myself to persevere through the run and I'm so glad I did. My goal is to finish the challenge feeling *mostly* good.

Are you running marathon weekend? How's your training going?

Date Based Ticketing Coming to Walt Disney World

In a move that had been highly rumored for months, Walt Disney World Resort in Florida introduced date based ticketing today. Here's what we know: What is Date Based Ticketing? -Instead of paying one set price to enter any of Walt Disney World's four theme parks, your price will vary depending on when you go. Busier times of year (think school breaks and the holidays) are more popular times of the year to go to WDW, so those tickets will be more expensive. If you travel during a less crowded time of year, those tickets will be less expensive. This is a system that has been in place at Disneyland Resort in California for single-day tickets for some time now. Disneyland Resort already has date-based ticketing What about Multi-Day Tickets? - The date based ticketing will also apply to multi-day tickets. So your three day park hopper ticket will vary in price depending on the time of year you travel. You must also select the time-frame in which you plan to use your t

Best of Epcot

It's no secret that Epcot is my favorite park in Walt Disney World. I love both sections of the park: Future World & World Showcase. It's also the finish line of most runDisney races and I love running through Epcot, especially during the Walt Disney World Marathon. It's hard to decide what sets this park apart as top of the list for me. But here are some of my FAVORITE things about Epcot. 1) Epcot International Food & Wine Festival - Epcot now has four festivals each year: Epcot Festival of the Arts, Epcot Flower and Garden Festival, Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, and Festival of the Holidays. While I haven't had a chance to make it to all these seasonal events, I'm always sure to make a trip to the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. This seasonal event, running from August to November, features over 20 international marketplaces featuring snacks and drinks from their native countries. This festival takes eating and drinking a

What I LOVE about Royal Caribbean's Oasis Class Ships

There is something for everyone on a Royal Caribbean Cruise Line vacation. All the ships are packed with fun and activities, but the Oasis Class ships take things up a notch! There are currently 4 Oasis Class ships available for booking: Oasis of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, and Symphony of the Seas. The first ship in the class, Oasis of the Seas made its maiden voyage in 2009. These ships are huge! In fact, Symphony of the Seas is currently the world's largest cruise ship. In March of 2019, I was able to take a 7 night sailing on Allure of the Seas and we absolutely fell in love with the Oasis Class of ships. Here's a list of things that we enjoyed and what you may also love on an Oasis Class ship: 1) The Ship is a Destination -With all there is to see and do on an Oasis Class ship, it's a destination itself! I'm convinced that you could have a full vacation with all the ship has to offer without ever getting off the ship at a port. Th
