We saw those! When we had our VIP tour in August we begged our plaid to see all the hidden back stage stuff - and he took us to see the gingerbread house frames. So they're out in the Florida sun all through the summer letting the bees work. It was very cool.
30 new minutes brings me (PollyannaMom) to 455/500 and red, with Raya and the Team both reaching pink!!
With three and half (-ish) days left in the month, we're at a grand total of 4,700 minutes.
Anybody have random Disney decor questions you didn't see answered this month?
Mine was how long do they stay up ~ Disney World’s holiday decorations stay up through New Year’s Day and begin coming down Jan. 2. Like installation, the process takes several weeks, so it’s not uncommon for runners to still see some holiday decorations during the Walt Disney World Marathon. Next year’s marathon weekend is Jan. 8 through Jan. 12. (source: USA Today)
And here are a few more photos (from that same article) ~
I have 20 minutes to add for the evening. We traveled to my in-laws' today and I got my minutes pacing in the bathroom after laying Charles down in the adjoining room.
I'm a few days late, but here are some of my favorite Disney ornaments. The ear hat is from a series of 4 I have for doing the virtual 4Ks of Christmas challenge. The other hats (not shown) are for the 3 individual runs, but this one is for completing the challenge and doing all 3 runs this month. It's my favorite of the 4.
Thanks for motivating us this month, @PollyannaMom !
I can take January if no one else wants it, but I will be leaving for WDW at the end of the month and won't be back until 2/9, and I likely wouldn't be able to close the month out until I get back since I don't plan on bringing my laptop. That's a long wait, I know, so if someone else wants January, I can go ahead and claim March instead.
Almost forgot! Happy New Year, all!!!! It has been a joy to hang out here with you all for another year! Hopefully 2025 will be a good year for all of us.
Not to be a crowd follower, but I'm also going to cut back for December! We'll be traveling for most of the last 2 weeks of the month, so I have my doubts about getting my minutes in. I'll shoot for 675. Starting out with 30 today from Growwithjo and yoga.
@Elizabeth Smith, I had you down as 675, not 725, so in my book, you made it!
Congrats to Elizabeth Smith, sophy1996, and ShannyMcB, on all reaching goal right on time!!
Here's the Magic Kingdom New Year's Eve Fireworks to wrap up the Christmas season:
I'll check in at least once more, in case anyone was storing up minutes on a paper list and comes back to post them, but thanks everyone for a really great month!! ...
