Run Now! It’s Wine 0’Clock in WDW…Cupcakes Gone W&D16

[debrapagliasotti]

Hi and welcome!! Glad you jumped in and please follow along! These ladies are so nice and kind. I am so anxious 11 months ouT to meet them face to face!!

I am in serious running limbo. I don't know I trained at a necessary pace to try and get through wine and dine. When that crazy snafu of weather came and we only ran 1/2 the course. Of course I ate like I ran a 1/2 though.
Enough whining but I do need to schedule some races even if they are 5k and 10k. I think I kind of flounder if I don't have something to look forward to or if I don't have a deadline!
Ok so you ladies talk about restaurants and ADR's. I have visions of Karamel Kuche dancing in my head. Illuminations on the horizon and popcorn in hand( can't find the popcorn eating emoticon so the drinking one will have to do)

I am excited & anxious to finally meet you too Kafi!! Karamell Kuche...yummy!!!! Cant wait to grab a treat from there!

Hi Tammie!! I'm late as always! I won't go back and comment on every little thing, but my mom and I are planning to be there next year! I already told her to get her registration money ready before March.

I haven't eaten at Boma or Tusker House for breakfast. We usually just pack light breakfasts from home, pop tarts, muffins, cereal, etc and get on a bus and go! We are not early morning people on vacation, at least my kids aren't!

Tusker House bkfst is delicious & seeing all the characters in their safari gear is adorable. I haven't been to Boma, but Tammie says it is great.

It is funny you don't like bananas, but like Tonga Toast. Sorry I ruined your next post...I should have waited on Kona since I assumed you were going to do that one too.

No worries...I have lots of breakfast finds in WDW!

Race Report:
Women Rock Dallas Starlet Challenge
November 21, 2015​

I (We-Cammy, Betsy and myself) actually competed in a race event this weekend in Dallas (Plano) and had a mini Cupcake Reunion!!! Betsy flew in from Boston to spend the weekend with us before heading to Austin for Thanksgiving with her sister/parents. When we were first started putting this trip together, we had no idea that a run would be involved until we found the Women Rock Series was happening on the same weekend and the SWAG caused both Cammy and I to take notice…a VERA BRADLEY weekender!

​

In fact the entire swag and bling package was awesome Vera Bradley Weekender (customized for race…with little hidden runners and Women Rock in the pattern), race t-shirt and race jacket just for signing up! Then at the finish line you received a pendant, champagne flute, and 4 Medals for completing the entire challenge…10K, 5K, and 2.5 K back to back for a total of almost 11 miles! The race morning was a bit cool and lots of find…so much so that the “MEN” at the end handing out medals had to keep their clothes on for the most part. Betsy really enjoyed the MEN, me not so much as I always remember now that these boys are the same age of my children for the most part.

​

We had a great time enjoying both the fall beauty of the course and each other’s company! It is certainly an event that I would do over again. It was well organized and everyone was friendly and kind…best of all it was a totally non-threatening event for us Back of the Pack participants!

​

Afterwards we celebrated with some Sprinkles Cupcakes, an adult milkshake (Amaretto Oreo) and a burger, a little shopping and then went to a Girls Night Out Painting Session!

​

Sunday before taking Betsy back to the airport and then driving home ourselves we took Betsy to the Fort Worth Stockyards for a little “TEXAS” fun

​

And then found our new Dallas Cupcake post race celebration…

​

The Tipsy Cupcake where they infuse cocktails into the Cupcakes AFTER baking. Sadly, they were out of cupcakes so we settled for their cocktail cake balls! OH MY! Then it was back to the airport for Betsy and a long drive home for us…A GREAT GIRLS RUN-CATION!

​

True to form…we found Disney even in Dallas!

Oh wow!! Ok where do I begin on this latest post? First, it is great to see some old, familiar faces (Betsy and Cammie) the swag was crazy, ridiculously good!!!Next on to the food and cupcakes. Was there any red velvet in the mix? Next and most importantly, I know how hard it is to keep up a trip report. I really do thank you for doing this. I appreciate the updates and a tangible way to keep up with some of the cupcakes. I am super jealous of that swag! that was beyond gorgeous. The jacket I say yes but my daughter loves all things Vera so she would have gotten that!!! Thank you again and as always, I am proud of you for working so hard Tammie!!

Oh yes...Betsy had a red velvet cupcake from Sprinkles. And of course we had to toast kafi with it!

The great thing is that I chose the Vera bag and since this was the last event of the series the jackets were $25 and I bought one of those!!!! I too love all things Vera and this bag is soo awesome!

As for the PTR, well I have totally missed keeping up with you on a regular basis...so it is selfish on my part too!

Okay now how cold is it???? Saturday race start was nearly around 35 plus a yucky wind. GET ME SOME MILES...I cannot get us to 2015 on my own in the next month!

 

[debrapagliasotti]

I dont think I ever saw what was in the Tipsy cake balls...inquiring minds lol. Looks like a great weekend!

 

[momabaarjo]

Happy Thanksgiving! Wishing you and your many blessings!

 

[momabaarjo]

The weather outside is truly FRIGHTFUL and since I have no place to go (well I do but not getting out in this ice storm)...

It’s 5 O’Clock Friday
at Crew Cup in the Yacht Club​

​

In order to pass the time away, instead of Cupcake Friday’s we are going to take a look at cocktails around the world…since we are partly fueled by cocktails. Maybe we can find them a little more readily then the cupcake disappointment we experienced on our PHM Cupcake Crawl!


Since we hope to stay at the BC/YC and already lounged by the pool its time to head back inside and see what we can find. We have several choices…

Yachtsman
Ale & Compass
Martha’s Vineyard
Crew Cup​

The first 3 on the list only have wines listed and while I do enjoy a good moscato, I am going to pass on these places and take us into the Crew Cup in search of a good and UNIQUE cocktail!

​

The little pipettes held different cocktails...I think the lemon one had limoncello, the chocolate one held some type of strawberry flavor. The pipettes probably held MAYBE a 1/2 t of cocktails. You basically slowly injected the cupcake balls with the pipette. A lot of fun...we loved them so much we went back for more!

 

[MaMa3Princess]

Pina Colada or a Moscato Colada.... Ok lady you have had a busy week!! When did you sleep these past 2 days?? SO proud of you

Moscato Colada does sound pretty good.

LOL...I got up early and had both finished early afternoon...I had too or they would not get done. We are in the middle of a VERY YUCKY ice storm! Thank you friend...not as sore as I thought I would be either. I guess my body just knows this distance now.

 

[debrapagliasotti]

Tropical Infusion does sound good! I am going to need a bigger food/drink budget lol.

Food/Drink Budget is the biggest parts of my trips although drunk artwork purchases may be the second biggest part.

Well at least you have something to show for it afterwards! Other than the even fatter bloated tummy that I am going to come home with!

SWAGBUCKS BABY...I am so sick of answering darn surveys but I am determined to pay for all my drinking and eating by doing this for the next 11 months.
