What Erin said. Thanks to all the DIS podcast crew (WDW and DL). You don't know me, but I feel we're connected by our mutual love of Disney.
I have said this many times to the people I run Disney races with, and you deserve to hear it too: I couldn't get through my training without you.\.
Knowing that I could listen to your podcasts during training...why, that "luxury" has gotten me through some of my longest and toughest runs. Just today, when I wake up and it's already in the 80s, I used the podcast as my motivation to get out there. It works for me in a way music doesn't always.
So thank you, thank you, thank you! You not only make me laugh - and sometimes tear up (Give Kids the World) - but you have helped make me a happier, healthier person. You have enriched my life far beyond the Disney knowledge you offer.
I know many of the crew like to poke light-hearted fun at those of us who run - including Tinker Bell Half Marathoner Tony - all in good fun!
But I also know you appreciate realizing that, I (and many others) have found running partners and friends through the support of the DISboards and its W.I.S.H. forum.
So thank you Pete, Walter, John, Kevin, Julie, Corey, Teresa, Kathy, Max, Dustin, and Max the intern. Thank you Tom, Walter, Tony, Nancy and Mary Jo. Thanks Bob Varley; I know your spirit still sits at the table. And thanks to all the correspondents - especially Dave Parfitt, who turned me onto the podcast - and special guests.
