Friday Favorite Five -Disney Running Songs

There is a great deal of variety in my running playlist. It runs the gamut from Metallica to broadway cast recordings. So, it should come as no surprise that there's a fair amount of Disney music on this playlist. Having participated in so many runDisney events, I know the right Disney song can get you through those moments where the race is a little rough. Here are my favorites:
5) Touch The Sky by Julie Fowlis (BRAVE) -While not the most popular movie in the Disney princess arsenal, Brave did give us this great running song. You may recognize it from the Happily Ever After fireworks in Magic Kingdom. This song has a good beat for running and an encouraging message in the lyrics.
4) How Far I'll Go by Auli'i Cravalho (MOANA) -While still missing in the world of Disney Parks, Moana's popularity hasn't diminished over time. This song (and its' reprise) are great to run to. In fact, this was on my playlist for the marathon portion of the Dopey Challenge. Here's to hoping for a Moana (and Pua?) meet and greet in the future!
3)Try Everything by Shakira (ZOOTOPIA) -I had to include a song from my favorite Disney movie and this one definitely fits the bill. Judy Hopps is my favorite Disney character and I always think of her taking the train into Zootopia to pursue her dreams every time I hear this song. Plus, it's such a great song to run to. The beat and lyrics are absolutely perfect for running.

2) Let It Go by Idina Menzel (FROZEN) -Don't think about all the times that you've heard this song during its overplayed run. Think about the first time you heard this song and saw this scene in the movie. It was absolutely amazing! That's still the feeling that I get when I hear this song on my run. Plus, Idina Menzel's voice is epic.

1) Dig A Little Deeper by Jenifer Lewis (THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG) -Though it may be an unconventional choice for top Disney running song, this one is my favorite. This song will always inspire me to push a little more through challenging work outs and runs. Plus, this came on my playlist during the Wide World of Sports stretch during the Dopey Challenge, when I really needed it.

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
