Love your TR so far!
Can't wait to read more
Thank you for joining in!
Loving this so far! I was wondering where you were coming from that the flight was 9 hours, then I saw that UK on your phone screenshot!
You are super quick on the running pace I personally stick to walking, and a Disney vacation gets plenty of that in, even with the food. I think we averaged like 10 miles a day last year, according to my Fitbit.
I may have to steal that idea about the Fastpasses on the phone. Especially since the reception can sometimes be iffy in the parks. Nice to be able to see it without going through the app.
Looks like you guys had a fabulous trip and I can't wait to read more Plus, a Disney Cruise! That's definitely on my to-do list, but a few years into the future!
Thank you for the comments and reading so far! You're right about all the walking at Disney - the pedometer on my iPod was logging 8-13 miles a day! I do love the morning runs too, especially as Florida is so much flatter then where I live, so my pace is better
Disney cruises are amazing, I adore going to WDW - and the cruise line somehow has another level of magic!
Great AK pictures. The baby gorilla is so cute.

Thank you! It was so cute, really unsteady on its feet - the cast member said they develop slower than humans.
Do you remember what time that bus was at? Just wondering how early they start running from the Epcot resorts.
Also was it easy to find a jogging route? Or had you looked at a map in advance? That loop looks perfect for me too. What time did you start at?
The bus was about 7.30am. I believe they start running one hour before the park opens
There was a map of the jogging route by the Boardwalk pool, and I believe if you ask at reception they will give you a map. I found it on the Mickey miles podcast website , they have all the jogging maps available. I set out running about 6.15am that day - still humid though!
What a great morning at AK! The baby gorilla is so cute, and those wait times can't be beat!
Thank you, it was a fantastic first morning!
Hi, Emma! Just got caught up and so excited to hear about your trip! Funny, I could have used that same title for our trip and it would have been accurate!
Wow, I thought they always kept those doors closed/locked! So strange to think of an "upstairs" on a plane - never been on one like that. Glad it went well for you, despite the delay.
I don't know how you do it!
I heard this same tip and actually did the lock screen with my spreadsheet for the day (so, FP+ and other notes/ADRs). Worked really well for taking a quick peek at things without having to mess around with the phone.
You got so much done so quick in such an empty Animal Kingdom!
Looking forward to more!
Thank you for joining in! I've just realised I've not found your latest two TRs so need to get reading
Hehe I took that photo of the cockpit before we took off, hence why the door was open. Once in the air, the crew had to stand and wait to be seen by a camera before entering.. We saw them taking some amazing looking food in for the pilots!
Yay, I'm so glad I found this at the beginning!!
Nice upgrade on the flight! I'm sure that makes those 9 hours a lot more bearable.
This idea is GENIUS! Totally stealing that for my next trip!!!
Looks like a beautiful morning at AK so far. I love the idea of trying something new in each park. It's easy for Disney trips to become routine, so it's smart to focus on doing something new each time.
I can't wait for more! Seems like it was an epic trip!
Thank you reading along so far! It was a great start to the trip with the flight upgrade and morning at AK.. it was a pretty perfect trip overall, I really need to get writing more updates
I don't know why people are so rude when they're walking/running. Whenever I jog outside, the majority of people look away or just ignore me You don't have to verbally say hi back to me, a wave would be fine right?!
I did too and makes things so much easier!
Look at all that room, that looks great!
I thought it was just a UK thing that other people look away/stare in disbelief when I'm out running! I find most other runners will say hi or nod.. appreciation that we are both out there exercising. Great job getting out and jogging too... Disney race in the future for you?!
Such dedication getting up early for your run! Out of all places though, that would definitely be a great place to exercise. I live in an apartment on the service road right off the highway so there's always a ton of traffic. There isn't much space between the sidewalk and where the cars zoom by, so even going for a walk isn't something we can do comfortably here. At times when we've had to walk there, my husband and I go one behind the other because some drivers are crazy. But the idea of that Epcot loops sounds so inviting! It seems like it'd be so peaceful in the morning, and I love that everyone was friendly and saying hello!
Using the FP list as the lock screen?! GENIUS! Haha, why aren't we all doing that?!?
Thank you for reading! The Epcot resort loop is a great walk/run, minimal traffic and first thing in the morning you get to see cast members gardening/cleaning, getting the World ready for another magical day!
